Conservatories Fitted Across Birmingham
If you are considering conservatories in Birmingham, Eco Glaze designs and builds conservatories and orangeries that add genuine living space to your home, and replaces old polycarbonate roofs so existing conservatories can be used all year round.
Older conservatories have a reputation for being too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Modern designs fix that with better glass, insulated bases and, where suitable, solid or tiled roof options. The result is a room that works as a dining area, playroom, office or snug.

What's Included
- Free design visit with layout and style options
- Groundwork, foundations and insulated base
- Dwarf walls in brick to match your house
- uPVC or aluminium frames with A-rated glass
- Roof options including solar control glass or a solid insulated roof
- Doors, electrics and finishing to an agreed specification
- Advice on planning and Building Regulations
Signs You Need Conservatories
- Your conservatory is unusable for half the year. A replacement roof can make a dramatic difference.
- A leaking or discoloured roof. Old polycarbonate sheets yellow, rattle and leak at the joints.
- You need more space but cannot afford a full extension. A conservatory is usually cheaper and quicker to build.
- Rotten timber or tired frames. Old timber conservatories are often more cost-effective to replace than repair.
Our Process, Step by Step
Design visit
We look at the garden, the house and how you want to use the room, then sketch options with you.
Planning check
We confirm whether your design falls within permitted development and the Building Regulations exemption.
Fixed quote
A detailed, itemised quote covering base, frames, roof and finishing.
Build
Groundwork and base first, then frames and roof. A typical conservatory takes one to three weeks on site.
Finishing
Electrics, plastering where needed, a full clean and handover.
Conservatory Styles Compared
| Option | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lean-to | Bungalows and terraces with limited space | Simple sloping roof and the most affordable option. |
| Victorian | Most house types | Faceted bay front and ornate ridge detailing. |
| Edwardian | Maximising usable floor space | Square or rectangular footprint for easy furniture layout. |
| P-shape and L-shape | Larger homes | Combines styles to create two zones, such as dining and lounge. |
| Orangery | A more solid, extension-like feel | Brick pillars, flat roof perimeter and a central roof lantern. |
For existing conservatories, a replacement roof using solar control glass or a lightweight insulated tiled system can keep the room comfortable in both summer and winter.
How Much Do Conservatories Cost in Birmingham?
Conservatory prices vary more than any other glazing project. National price guides typically put a small lean-to at around £8,000 to £15,000 and larger Victorian, Edwardian or orangery designs at £15,000 to £30,000 or more. Replacement roofs are usually far cheaper than a full new build.

Conservatories for Birmingham Homes
Birmingham's suburbs have plenty of homes with good-sized rear gardens, especially the 1930s semis in Hall Green, Harborne and Solihull and the larger detached homes of Sutton Coldfield. Many conservatories in these areas were built in the 1990s and early 2000s with polycarbonate roofs that are now reaching the end of their life. Replacing the roof is often the quickest way to turn a cold storage room back into living space.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Eco Glaze for Conservatories in Birmingham
Clear on the rules before you commit
The Planning Portal sets out when a conservatory is permitted development, such as single storey rear additions of up to 3 metres on an attached house and 4 metres on a detached house, within height and garden coverage limits. Conservatories under 30 square metres, separated from the house by external quality doors and without the main heating extended into them, are generally exempt from Building Regulations. We check your design against all of this before you sign.
Glass chosen for comfort
The roof is where a conservatory wins or loses. We specify solar control and low-emissivity roof glass, or a solid insulated roof where that suits the room better, and A-rated glass in the walls to meet the 1.4 W/m²K standard. The aim is a room you use in January and in July, not one you close the door on.
One team from base to roof
Eco Glaze handles the whole job: groundwork, base, brickwork, frames, roof and finishing. You deal with one company and one point of contact throughout, and you can reach us seven days a week from 9am to 7pm. Coordinating everything in-house is what keeps a typical conservatory build to one to three weeks on site.

FAQ
Conservatories: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a conservatory?
Many conservatories are permitted development, but size, height, position and whether your home is in a conservation area all matter. We check this at the design stage.
Will my conservatory be too hot in summer?
Modern solar control roof glass and good ventilation make a big difference. A solid roof is another option for south facing gardens.
Can you replace just the roof?
Yes. Replacing an old polycarbonate roof is one of our most popular conservatory jobs.
How long does a conservatory take to build?
Most take one to three weeks on site, depending on size and the groundwork needed.
