Conservatory FAQ.pdf

Conservatories and sunrooms generally don't need planning permission if they comply with rules such as being less than 4m high, not closer to a road than the existing dwelling, and extending no more than 4m from the rear wall of a detached dwelling or 3m from a non-detached dwelling. Building regulations may apply, but conservatories are exempt if they have a floor area less than 30m2, a double glazed door between the conservatory and house, and an independent heating system. Turkington can guide customers through the building control process and offer various heating options, including independent electric wall heaters and underfloor electric heating. They use Solar Control Smart Glass, which is self-cleaning and provides solar control, reducing heat buildup in summer months. Customers can design their conservatory or sunroom with the help of Turkington's qualified surveyors and designers, and the company provides a turn-key service, installing electrics and plumbing, with the customer only needing to fit a skirting board, lay floor tiles, and paint.
