Solid extension with a tiled roof that replaced a conservatory

What is included

  • Opening widened into the house if wanted
  • Removal and disposal of the old conservatory
  • Trial holes to check the existing foundations
  • New or upgraded foundations
  • Insulated walls and roof to current regulations
  • Glazing and doors to suit the new room

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.

Extensions in and around Leytonstone

Site visits are available across Leytonstone (E7, E10, E11, E15, E17, E18). Nearby, we also take on projects in Walthamstow (2 miles), Manor Park (2 miles), Stratford (2 miles), West Ham (2 miles).

Just over the Essex border, Waltham Abbey is about 8 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.

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.

The planning position for a specific Leytonstone address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.

Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.

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).

How the project works

Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

  1. Free site visit

    It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.

  2. Design and approvals

    Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.

  3. Fixed written price

    The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.

  4. Build and sign-off

    Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.

Questions people ask about conservatory replacements

Can I see a price before committing to anything?

Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Leytonstone, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.

How long does a conservatory replacement take to build in Leytonstone?

On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.

Will my neighbours in Leytonstone be involved?

If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.

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.

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.
