Porches in Hampshire

Covering Hampshire

We cover Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South East

Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.

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.

Brick porch with tiled roof	£6,000 to £10,000
Larger porch or front extension	£10,000 to £16,000

How is a porch approved in Hampshire?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

In England a porch is permitted development if its footprint is no more than 3 m² measured externally, no part is higher than 3 m, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary with a road or footpath.

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.
