Porches in Worcester

Before your porch in Worcester

Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to Worcester City Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.

No part of a permitted development porch can be within 2 m of a boundary next to a highway.
Glass close to the floor or next to a door in a porch must be safety glass.
Meters, drains and outside taps at the front of Worcester homes may need moving or boxing in.

Which options suit homes in Worcester?

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.

What does your porch cost in Worcester?

Guide prices start at £800 and run to £12,000 depending on size and specification. Enclosed porch of about 2.5 m² on a brick dwarf wall, with a composite front door: around £4,500–£6,800.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Worcester?

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