Options to consider in Bewdley

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.

Brick-built porch

Brick walls to match the house, a pitched tiled roof and a new front door, built on proper foundations. A brick porch looks like part of the original house and gives the best insulation and security. It's the most expensive option and takes longest to build, but it suits most semis and detached homes and lasts a very long time.

Questions about porches in Bewdley

How long does it take to build a porch?

A canopy usually takes one or two days. A uPVC porch on a dwarf wall typically takes one to two weeks from groundwork to finishing, allowing for the foundations and brickwork to set. A fully brick-built porch can take up to three weeks, depending on the weather and drying times.

Do you cover Bewdley?

Yes. Bewdley (DY12) is about 17 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

Can a porch be bigger than 3 m²?

Yes, but it will need planning permission, because 3 m² is the permitted development limit. A bigger porch is often approved if it suits the house and the street, but it's never guaranteed. We can prepare drawings for an application, or design a porch within 3 m² so you can avoid one.

Will I need permission from the council in Bewdley?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Bewdley is Wyre Forest District Council.
