Porch Builders and Installers in Southeast England

A porch provides extra living space, improved security and enhanced kerb appeal. It acts as a buffer against draughts, helps reduce heat loss and creates a welcoming entrance. Many homeowners also use porches for storage of shoes, coats and prams, adding convenience and value to the property.

We design and install uPVC porches, aluminium porches and brick-built porches in a range of styles. Whether you want a modern glazed entrance or a traditional brick extension, our porches are custom-made to match your home’s character and requirements.

In many cases, porches fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission, provided they meet certain size and location limits. However, larger porches or those on listed buildings and conservation areas may require approval. We’ll advise you and handle applications if needed.

Yes — adding a porch helps reduce heat loss by creating a thermal barrier between your front door and the outdoors. With double-glazed or triple-glazed windows, insulated panels and draught-proof doors, our porches improve comfort and can lower energy bills.

Our porches are built with multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames and toughened or laminated glazing to provide excellent security. A porch adds an extra layer of protection to your main entrance, deterring potential intruders and improving peace of mind.

Yes — our porches are fully bespoke. Choose from brickwork, uPVC or aluminium frames, a wide range of colours and finishes, roof styles (pitched, flat or tiled), decorative glazing, doors and hardware. We’ll design a porch that complements your property perfectly.

The cost depends on size, materials, glazing, roof style and design. A simple uPVC porch is usually more affordable, while a brick-built porch with a tiled roof will be higher in cost. We provide free, itemised quotes with no hidden charges, plus finance options (subject to status).

Installation time varies depending on design and structure. A typical porch can be completed in 1–2 weeks. Brick-built porches may take slightly longer due to groundworks and roofing. We’ll confirm your project timescale during the survey and quotation process.

All porch installations include a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, plus manufacturer warranties on frames, glazing and roof materials. Your project is also FENSA-registered where applicable to ensure Building Regulation compliance and certification.
