Planning Your Porch

Key things to consider when planning a new porch:

Design Decisions

  • Style to complement your existing property
  • Size within permitted development limits
  • Materials: brick, timber, UPVC or combination
  • Roofing material to match main roof
  • Glazing and door options
  • Lighting and electrical requirements

Practical Considerations

  • Planning permission requirements
  • Building regulations compliance
  • Drainage away from the porch
  • Foundation requirements for the soil type
  • Integration with existing damp-proof course

Porch Builder FAQs

Many porches can be built under permitted development without planning permission if they meet certain criteria: the floor area must not exceed 3 square metres, the height must not exceed 3 metres, and it must not be within 2 metres of a boundary facing a road. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, you will need to apply. We advise on this during our free consultation.

Costs depend on the size, materials and complexity of the design. A simple UPVC porch is the most affordable option, while a brick porch with a tiled roof will cost more. We provide detailed written quotations following a free consultation so you know exactly what to budget.

A typical brick porch takes one to two weeks from start to finish. UPVC or timber porches can often be completed more quickly. The timeline depends on the design, materials and weather conditions. We always provide a clear schedule before starting.

We can fit pitched roofs with tiles or slate to match your main roof, flat roofs using GRP or EPDM, or lead roofing for a traditional look. The choice depends on the style of porch, the pitch available and your property. We recommend options during our design consultation.

Yes, matching the porch to your existing property is a key part of our design process. We source matching bricks, tiles, and finishes to ensure the porch looks like a natural part of the house rather than an afterthought.

A well-built porch that complements the property typically adds value both in terms of price and appeal. It increases usable space, improves kerb appeal and provides practical benefits that buyers appreciate. A poorly designed or cheaply built porch, however, can detract from a property, which is why good design matters.
