- Busy hallways with no storage
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 Leek
Across ST13, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Kidsgrove (9 miles), Longton (10 miles), Stoke-on-Trent (10 miles), Newcastle-under-Lyme (11 miles).
Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What should I budget for a porch extension in Leek?
For Leek we adjust our national guide rates by ×0.97, the factor we use for West Midlands. Figures include VAT; your written quote after the survey replaces them.
