Our conservatory is about 20 years old and is starting to look a bit

We are thinking about refurbishing it. As most of it needs replacing,
is this a DIY job or are there FENSA requirements to be met?

repairs are doable without bothering anyone.

If it meets the criteria for a "conservatory" it is exempt from notification
anyway, so you can build one without bothering the BCO (there are a few
caveats).

If it is within your permitted development limits and you meet a few
published criteria, it is usually planning exempt too (except that it will
count as usage of permitted development volume whould you build anything
else).
