What do you get with a porch?
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.
- Foundations and matching brickwork
- Tiled, slate or lead roof
- Lighting and power

Planning and building rules in Hucknall
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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. Larger porches need planning permission.
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 are the steps?
- 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.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Can a porch include a toilet?
Yes, but it becomes a front extension, which usually needs planning permission and building regulations approval.
Will the brick match?
We source the closest available match and agree it with you before building.
Can you visit a house in Hucknall to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
