- Homes where the conservatory sits unused
- Older uPVC conservatories near the end of their life
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.

Planning and approvals in High Wycombe
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.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in High Wycombe
Do you cover all of High Wycombe?
Yes. We cover High Wycombe and the surrounding parts of Buckinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a conservatory replacement in High Wycombe?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in High Wycombe?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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 £2,070 to £3,920 per m² including VAT, including removal.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
