Conservatories in Wolverhampton

Before your conservatory in Wolverhampton

Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to City of Wolverhampton Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.

Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.

Options to consider in Wolverhampton

Solid tiled replacement roof

A lightweight insulated roof system with tiles or slate-effect tiles outside and a plastered ceiling inside, often with spotlights. It keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer and cuts rain noise. The existing frames and base must be checked, and the work is notified to building control because the structure changes.

Victorian or Edwardian conservatory

A Victorian conservatory has a faceted, rounded end and a steeper ridged roof; an Edwardian one is square or rectangular with a ridged roof. Both give more height and floor space than a lean-to. They suit semis and detached houses, and a dwarf brick wall can be matched to your existing brickwork.

Questions about conservatories in Wolverhampton

Will I still be able to use the house while the work is done?

Yes. Work is confined to the conservatory and the garden side of the house. The doors between the house and the conservatory stay shut while the roof is off, so the rest of your home stays secure and weathertight. You'll need to clear the conservatory of furniture before we start.

Do you cover the whole of Wolverhampton?

Yes — we cover Wolverhampton from our West Bromwich base, including Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

Should the doors between the house and conservatory stay?

If you want the conservatory to stay exempt from building regulations, yes. Removing them, or leaving the opening permanently open, means it must meet the full energy standards for an extension, which usually involves more insulation, glazing upgrades and an application. If you want an open-plan link, we'll talk through the extension route instead.

Does City of Wolverhampton Council need to approve my conservatory?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Wolverhampton is City of Wolverhampton Council.
