Building a porch

Adding a porch can change the whole look of a home.

Porches can be built around any external door that you wish, be it front, side or back door. We're able to offer a complete design and build service in materials of your choosing, matching perfectly the theme and style of your dwelling.

Front porches or other porches can provide:

  • A dramatic reduction in drafts
  • Extra security with locking systems
  • Extra storage space
  • A new feel entranceway

Porch planning permission

Although not definitive and we'll help you with all planning, little is required in the way of planning permission for porches if a few common regulations are followed:


  • The ground floor area must not exceed three metres
  • No part can be three metres above ground level
  • No part of the porch can be within two metres of any boundary of the house

Porch designs

Various porch designs can be created, using a multitude of materials. These include favourites such as uPVC and solid wood.

Windows, guttering and porch lights can also be features of your porch; the design is yours, but we're on hand to offer helpful tips and advice.

A finished front porch can really show off a home to neighbours and guests.
