Lean-to conservatories are the easiest and most affordable way to add space to your home. They have a flat, slanted roof that sits at an angle between the roofline and your exterior wall. They offer great style flexibility and are a great way to make use of more awkward spaces.
Benefits of a Lean-To Conservatory
-
Affordable and Value for Money
The construction and smaller size of lean-to conservatories make them an affordable way of increasing space and light in your home. A well-planned stylish lean-to helps increase home value, and combined with their affordability they make a great value-for-money investment.
-
Slanted Roof
The slanted roof on a lean to conservatory means more effective water run-off. This makes them easier to clean and maintain than traditional hipped conservatory roofs. This saves you money and hassle over time and potentially means the roof lasts longer.
-
Flexible Space
A modern lean-to conservatory is a versatile addition that can fit into even awkward spaces. Create a bright new space that connects the dining room and kitchen of your terraced home. Or add a sunny new playroom or home office off your main living room.
-
Year-round Use
A lean-to conservatory tends to be smaller, sometimes incorporating two of your external walls, making them better insulated for year-round use. Our solaroof glass keeps your lean to cooler in summer, while solid roof options help keep a lean-to at a comfortable temperature all year.

Your Questions Answered by Us
Yes, a lean-to conservatory can have a tiled roof. With an Anglian lean-to conservatory, you can choose a solid tiled roof, whether for a new conservatory or a replacement roof. Our solid tiled roofs feature replica slate-effect tiles. They are available in three different shades: Carbon Grey, Rich Harvest Brown and Deep Red Terra Brick.
Anglian lean-to conservatories are always bespoke to fit the size you want them. That said, they tend to have a maximum width of 10m and maximum projection from your home of 4m.
Most of the time a lean-to will not need planning permission, because it is a smaller construction. A lean-to built at the side of a property must be narrower than the width of your home to be classed as a permitted development. You might need planning permission if it covers more than 50% of the area your home covers. You will also need permission if it is more than three metres high, extends more than 6 meters out from your home. Take a look at our full guide to conservatory planning permission for more information.
