Covering Ewell
Postcode districts we cover around Ewell include KT17, KT18, KT19. The same team covers Epsom (2 miles), Banstead (3 miles), Leatherhead (5 miles), Esher (5 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Greater London border, Worcester Park is about 2 miles away. The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.
Planning rules that apply in Ewell
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 Ewell address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
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).
When a porch extension makes sense
- Busy hallways with no storage
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
What happens next
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Questions people ask about porch extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Ewell, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Ewell?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Ewell be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £4,450 to £16,800 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.
