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.
Our Lean-To Conservatory Features
Solaroof®
Our solaroof® glass blocks more solar heat than conventional glass, helping keep your lean-to conservatory cooler on hot days. It also blocks UV rays to a minimum, protecting conservatory furniture from fading and warping. Solaroof® reduces glare, so you can sit and read in comfort, even in full sun.
Solid Panel or Replica Tiles
Our solid but lightweight lean-to conservatory roofs have slate-effect tiles in a choice of three colours. You can add more light with roof windows. We can also add a solid, glass, or polycarbonate replacement roof to most existing lean-to conservatories.
BBA Certification
Anglian is the only company supplying conservatories to hold the BBA certificate for the whole conservatory construction, from below ground to the top of the roof. You can expect your White Knight uPVC conservatory to function at its best for more than 25 years.

Lean-To Conservatory FAQs
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.
The cost of a lean-to conservatory will depend on the size and shape of the design, as well as colour choices, roof materials, and other factors. To get an accurate quote for your ideal lean-to conservatory, simply get in touch with us.
Yes, lean-to conservatories need foundations. This is to ensure the conservatory is solid, stable, and safe from sinking or becoming uneven. The depth of the foundations will depend on the ground and the size and weight of the conservatory.
A lean-to is a type of conservatory with a sloping roof, designed to sit against the wall of a property. It can fit into more limited or awkward spaces compared with many other conservatory designs and is usually a more affordable option.
Yes, so long as there is enough space, a lean-to conservatory can be fitted to a bungalow. They are often a very suitable design for bungalows, as the sloping roof can more easily fit against the existing walls and under the eaves of the house.
