Covering Bridgend
We work in Bridgend (CF31) and the places around it, including Porthcawl, Cowbridge and Llantwit Major.
Homes in Mid Glamorgan
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What does a porch involve?
A porch is a small enclosed entrance built in front of the front door, giving somewhere for coats and shoes and a buffer against draughts. Many porches are small enough to be built without a planning application.
- Design to match the house
- Lighting and power
- Plastering and flooring ready finish
How much does a porch cost in Bridgend?

|---|---|
| Open canopy over the door | £2,500 to £5,000 |

| Larger porch or front extension | £10,000 to £16,000 |
How is a porch approved in Bridgend?
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development, with similar size limits to England.
What should Bridgend homeowners check first?
- Keeping the original front door between house and porch can keep a porch exempt from building regulations.
- Gas meters and drains near the front door may need relocating.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
