Building Services FAQs

Many porches can be built under permitted development without planning permission, provided they meet certain size, height and positioning criteria. Generally, the porch must not exceed 3 square metres in floor area, 3 metres in height, or be within 2 metres of a boundary facing a road. We can advise on your specific situation during our free consultation.

Car ports often fall under permitted development, but there are limits on size, height and positioning that must be met. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional permissions may be needed. We can advise on the specific requirements for your project.

A typical brick porch with a tiled roof takes about one to two weeks from start to finish, including foundations, brickwork, roofing and finishing. UPVC or timber frame porches can often be completed more quickly. We provide a clear schedule before starting.

Yes, but it must be done correctly. We use raised loft boarding legs that create a gap above the insulation, so the boarding does not compress it. Compressing loft insulation significantly reduces its effectiveness and can lead to condensation problems. Our system maintains the full depth of insulation while providing a solid, usable floor.

Yes, where building regulations approval is required, we handle the notification, inspection and sign-off process. This applies to porches over a certain size, structural alterations and other controlled work. We ensure everything is done properly and signed off for your peace of mind.

Every project is different, so we provide detailed written quotations following a free consultation. We discuss your requirements, measure up, advise on materials and options, and provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs.
