Covering Gwynedd and Anglesey
We cover Gwynedd and Anglesey, including Bangor, Holyhead, Caernarfon and Llangefni, and the towns around them.
Homes in Gwynedd and Anglesey
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?
We build porches in matching brick with a tiled or lead roof, a new composite or timber door, and lighting. If you want a wider entrance or a WC, we can design a larger front extension instead and handle the planning.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Tiled, slate or lead roof
- Lighting and power
What will a porch cost?
What porches typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| Porches | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Open canopy over the door | £2,500 to £5,000 |
| Brick porch with tiled roof | £6,000 to £10,000 |
| Larger porch or front extension | £10,000 to £16,000 |
What approvals does a porch need in Wales?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development, with similar size limits to England.
What should I think about before starting?
- Gas meters and drains near the front door may need relocating.
- The roof pitch should echo the main roof or bay window.
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.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
