Before your porch in Warwickshire

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 Warwickshire, the district or borough council for your town handles it.

Meters, drains and outside taps at the front of Warwickshire homes may need moving or boxing in.
Matching brick and roof tiles makes a porch look like part of the original house.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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 should I sort out before the porch is built?

Check where your gas and electricity meters, drains and outside tap are, because the porch may need to work around them. Think about storage, lighting and whether you'd like a socket for a doorbell or charging. Let us know if your home is in a conservation area or has had previous extensions.

Will I need permission from the council in Warwickshire?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Warwickshire is the district or borough council for your town.
