What should I budget for a porch extension in Dewsbury?
These guide figures apply our Yorkshire and the Humber adjustment (×0.94) to national rates. They include VAT at 20% and cover the build itself; design and council fees are listed separately.
| Option | What it covers | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Small brick or glazed porch, up to 3 m² | £3,750 – £6,150 |
| Standard | Brick porch with tiled roof and composite door | £5,600 – £8,950 |
| Premium | Larger porch with WC or oak frame and premium glazing | £8,450 – £14,100 |

What we take care of
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Foundations and drainage for rainwater
- Design to suit the house style
Proportion matters on a porch more than on any other extension, because it is at the front. We match the roof pitch and brick and keep the front door in proportion with the house windows.
Covering Dewsbury
Site visits are available across Dewsbury (WF5, WF12, WF13, WF14, WF16, WF17). Neighbouring towns we cover include Batley (1 mile), Ossett (2 miles), Heckmondwike (2 miles), Liversedge (3 miles).
Darton, in South Yorkshire, is roughly 8 miles from Dewsbury and also on our list. Homes across Yorkshire and the Humber range from back-to-back and through terraces to large suburban semis, and extension options vary with them.
Planning rules that apply in Dewsbury
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² measured externally, no part is over 3 m high, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a road.
The planning position for a specific Dewsbury address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,750 to £14,100 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² (measured externally), no part is higher than 3 m, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a highway. Other nations have similar but separate rules.
