Questions from Oxford
How much is a new conservatory roof in Oxford?
Insulated panel roofs in Oxford start at £3,000 for a small lean-to. A medium Edwardian of around 17 m² is usually £4,200 to £4,950, with the old roof removed and a 10 year guarantee included.
Is a solid roof worth it on Oxford's weather?
On 1,845 heating degree days a year, a 15 m² roof of 16 mm polycarbonate lets out about 1,528 kWh if you keep the room warm. Insulated panels cut that to about 286 kWh, worth about £327 a year on an electric heater.
Do I need permission in Oxford?
Planning permission is rarely needed because the size and height of the conservatory stay the same. Check with the council first if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
When can a surveyor come out in Oxford?
Surveys around Oxford are usually booked within a week, and fitting follows three to five weeks after that.
