Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about porches in Surrey.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
Most porches under 3 m² in floor area, no taller than 3 m, and not closer than 2 m to the boundary or highway fall under Permitted Development. Larger porches or those on listed buildings or in conservation areas will need a planning application. We will advise on your specific situation.
Can you match the brickwork of my existing house?
Yes, matching the existing brick is a priority. We take samples and source the closest available match, whether new or reclaimed. A well-matched porch should look like it has always been there.
What roofing options are available for a porch?
The most common options are pitched roofs with matching roof tiles or slates, flat roofs with GRP fibreglass finish, and lean-to roofs against the house wall. We will recommend the most appropriate style based on your house type and planning constraints.
How long does a porch take to build?
A typical brick-built porch takes 2–4 weeks from groundworks to completion. More complex porches with bespoke glazing or intricate brickwork details take a little longer. We confirm the timeline in your quote.
Can a porch be insulated and heated?
Yes, we can insulate the walls and roof and include a small electric heater or connection to the central heating system. An insulated porch acts as a useful thermal buffer and prevents heat loss every time the front door is opened in winter.
