Will the council need to approve it?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Covering Heywood
Our survey diary covers Heywood, including OL10, OL11. Neighbouring towns we cover include Middleton (3 miles), Rochdale (3 miles), Bury (3 miles), Royton (4 miles).
Just over the Lancashire border, Rawtenstall is about 8 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Included in a typical project
- Removal and disposal of the old conservatory
- Insulated walls and roof to current regulations
- Trial holes to check the existing foundations
- Opening widened into the house if wanted
- Glazing and doors to suit the new room
- New or upgraded foundations
A replacement is a chance to rethink the shape. Many conservatories are oddly proportioned; for a similar cost the new room can often be squarer, wider or better connected to the kitchen.

Questions people ask about conservatory replacements
How long does a conservatory replacement take to build in Heywood?
On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Heywood, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Heywood?
Yes. We cover Heywood and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I keep the existing base?
Sometimes, but conservatory bases are often too shallow for solid walls. Trial holes tell us before we confirm the price.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,760 to £3,320 per m² including VAT, including removal.
