What is included
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Design to suit the house style
- Planning check against the porch limits

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.
Extensions in and around Gelligaer
Site visits are available across Gelligaer (CF46, CF82). We also work in nearby Blackwood (2 miles), Pontypridd (6 miles), Caerphilly (6 miles), Risca (8 miles).
Ebbw Vale, in Gwent, is roughly 8 miles from Gelligaer and also on our list. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
Planning and approvals in Gelligaer
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development within size and boundary limits similar to England's. We check the current Welsh limits for your address.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Our process, step by step
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
We visit your Gelligaer home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
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
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about a porch extension in Gelligaer
Will my neighbours in Gelligaer be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Gelligaer?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Gelligaer, 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 much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,700 to £13,950 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
