Which options suit homes in Bloxwich?
uPVC porch on a dwarf wall
A low brick wall with uPVC double-glazed frames above, a door and a pitched or flat roof. It's quicker and cheaper than a full brick build, lets in plenty of light and can be matched to your existing windows. The glazing must be safety glass where it's low down or near a door.
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.
