Which option fits your home?
Porch with toilet or storage
A slightly larger porch can house a cloaks cupboard, a cupboard for the gas or electricity meter or, with drainage, a small WC. Plumbing and drainage need extra design and building regulations compliance, and a porch over 3 m² will need planning permission. It's worth considering if you're short of downstairs space and have room at the front.
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.
