Conservatories in Worcestershire

Planning your conservatory in Worcestershire

Most conservatories and small porches can be built without planning permission or Building Regulations approval if they meet the size and separation rules, which we check before quoting. Where permission is needed in Worcestershire, the district or borough council for your town handles it.

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

Options to consider in Worcestershire

Hybrid roof with glazed panels

A solid insulated roof with built-in glazed panels or roof lights gives better insulation than glass while still letting daylight in from above. It's a sensible middle ground where a fully solid roof would make the room or the house behind it too dark. Building control requirements are the same as for a fully solid roof.

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.

Conservatories in Worcestershire: common questions

Can my existing conservatory take a heavier roof?

Many can, but not all. The vertical frames need enough reinforcement to carry the new roof, and the base and footings must be sound. We check for steel reinforcement in the frames and look for cracks or movement at survey. If extra support is needed, it's priced in your quote before you decide.

How do I book a survey in Worcestershire?

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.

Who approves conservatories in Worcestershire?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Worcestershire is the district or borough council for your town.
