- Do I need planning permission for a conservatory?
- Most conservatories fall under permitted development — a rear single-storey addition up to 3m (semi/terraced) or 4m (detached), under 4m tall, and not covering more than 50% of the original garden. We assess this at survey and handle any lawful development or full planning application on your behalf.

- Our tiled and hybrid warm roofs achieve roof U-values of 1.0–1.4 W/m²K. Combined with energy-efficient glazing and a surveyed heating and ventilation plan, they improve year-round comfort across London and Home Counties conservatories.
- Do conservatories need Building Regulations approval?
- Not usually — a conservatory separated from the house by external-quality doors (i.e. French, patio or bifold), with independent heating controls, is normally exempt. An orangery with an open connection to the house does require Building Regs and we handle the submission.
