Covering Stratford-upon-Avon
Our coverage around Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37) also includes Warwick (8 miles to the north-east) and Leamington Spa.
Homes in the West Midlands
The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.
What is included in a porch in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
- Design to match the house
- Foundations and matching brickwork
- Front door and side window supply and fit
How much should I budget for a porch?
Typical ranges for porches. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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. Larger porches need planning permission.
What can affect a porch?
- Keeping the original front door between house and porch can keep a porch exempt from building regulations.
- The roof pitch should echo the main roof or bay window.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
