Working in Coventry
We cover Coventry and the postcode districts CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV6. We also work in nearby Solihull (11 miles), Shirley (13 miles), Sutton Coldfield (17 miles), Birmingham (17 miles).
Just over the Warwickshire border, Kenilworth is about 5 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
Planning rules that apply in Coventry
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
The planning position for a specific Coventry address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Common questions in Coventry
Do you cover all of Coventry?
Yes. We cover Coventry and the surrounding parts of West Midlands. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Coventry?
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.
Will my neighbours in Coventry 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.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,330 to £4,360 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £43,000 to £54,500 in Coventry.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a solid roof perimeter with a central lantern and more solid wall, so it is warmer and more like a room. A conservatory is mostly glass. Building regulations treat a heated orangery joined to the house as an extension.
