Tips & Tricks To Building a Conservatory

1. Planning Permission Application

All the excitement of building a new conservatory can lead many homeowners to get carried away too early. While considering your design options and project goals is important, checking whether you need to apply for planning permission and building regulations should be your first step. We don’t want our customers to be disappointed if the project they had in mind doesn’t meet planning and building regulations.  

It’s important to know that building regulations and planning permission are different. The government defines building regulations, and the approval of these regulations is needed for home renovations to guarantee that they are safe and built to a high standard. There are many different building regulations, some of which include fire protection, gas safety, energy performance, accessibility and structural integrity.

To ensure everyone’s safety, building regulations are essential to ensuring construction work is compliant. However, not every home renovation requires a building warrant. To find out if your conservatory project requires planning permission, please contact your local council for confirmation. 

It is always best to obtain professional guidance on your project. At SRJ, we happily simplify the process by offering advice and obtaining the appropriate documentation so that we can transform your home.

4. Choose the Perfect Conservatory Roof System

Why is a conservatory roof important? The roof can completely alter the living space. Glass roofs enhance a conservatory with as much natural light as possible, whereas solid and tiled roofs are more private and cosy. Yet, what’s great about solid and tiled systems is that you can include custom glazing panels. This means you can benefit from the light of a glass conservatory and the comfort of a solid or tiled system.
