Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.

Which option fits your home?

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.

Glass replacement roof

Modern double-glazed roof panels with solar-control and self-cleaning coatings replace tired polycarbonate while keeping the room bright. It's a lighter change than a tiled roof, usually costs less and keeps the conservatory's character. It's a good choice if you mainly use the room in spring, summer and autumn and want daylight first.

How much should you budget in Wombourne?

Expect to budget between £3,500 and £22,000 depending on size and specification in Wombourne. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: typically £7,000–£10,500.

Conservatories in Wombourne: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Wombourne?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your conservatory and arrange a time to visit.

What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?

The roof system, glazing and frames are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your products are set out in your quote. Building control issues a completion certificate for notified work, which you should keep with your house documents. Ask us about anything you'd like clarified before you sign.

Will I need permission from the council in Wombourne?

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