What do you get with a porch?
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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Lighting and power
- Plastering and flooring ready finish
What will a porch cost?
Guide prices for porches, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Porches | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Open canopy over the door | £2,500 to £5,000 |

Planning and building rules in Troon
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
In Scotland small porches can be permitted development within size and position limits.
What can change the price or programme?
- 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.
