Planning your porch in Bedworth
Most conservatories and small porches can be built without planning permission or Building Regulations approval if they meet the size and separation rules, which we check before quoting. Where permission is needed in Bedworth, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council handles it.
- Matching brick and roof tiles makes a porch look like part of the original house.
- New electrical circuits in a porch must be installed and certified to Part P.
- No part of a permitted development porch can be within 2 m of a boundary next to a highway.

Options to consider in Bedworth
Fully glazed uPVC porch
Glazed from floor to roof on a concrete base, with no brick walls. Fully glazed porches are the quickest to install and keep a narrow frontage bright. They're less private than a dwarf-wall porch, so obscure or decorative glass is often used on the lower panels, and all low-level glass must be toughened or laminated.
Open canopy
A roof over the front door on brackets or posts, with no walls or door, in tiled, timber or GRP finishes. A canopy shelters the door and step from rain and adds character without taking up space. It falls under the same planning limits as an enclosed porch and is the cheapest way to protect the entrance.
What does your porch cost in Bedworth?
Expect to budget between £800 and £12,000 depending on size and specification in Bedworth. Enclosed porch of about 2.5 m² on a brick dwarf wall, with a composite front door: typically £4,500–£6,800.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Open canopy | £800 – £3,500 | GRP, timber or tiled roof over the door |
| uPVC porch on a dwarf wall | £4,000 – £7,000 | Double glazed, with a composite or uPVC door |
| Brick-built porch | £7,000 – £12,000 | Matching brick and a pitched tiled roof |

Before you book in Bedworth
Will I still be able to use my front door during the build?
Yes, in most cases. Your existing front door stays in place throughout, and we keep a safe path to it. There may be short periods during the groundwork and roofing when we'll ask you to use a back door, and we'll tell you in advance.
Which postcodes in Bedworth do you work in?
We cover CV12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bedworth, neighbouring Nuneaton and Walsgrave are covered too.
What guarantee comes with a new porch?
The door, frames, glazing and roof covering come with their manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for your porch are set out in your quote. Brickwork and foundations are built to the agreed specification, which is also written into the quote. Ask us about anything you're not sure of before you sign, and keep any electrical certificate and guarantee paperwork with your house documents.
Who approves porches in Bedworth?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Bedworth is Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
