Who a porch extension suits
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- 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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Extensions in and around Pontypool
We cover Pontypool and the postcode districts NP4. The same team covers Cwmbran (3 miles), Newport, Gwent (8 miles), Ebbw Vale (9 miles), Abergavenny (9 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Mid Glamorgan border, Risca is about 7 miles away. 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.

We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
