What we take care of
- Design to suit the house style
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Front door, glazing and electrics
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.
What should I budget for a porch extension in Warwickshire?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Warwickshire we use our West Midlands factor (×0.97). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.

|---|---|---|
| Essential | Small brick or glazed porch, up to 3 m² | £3,850 – £6,350 |
| Standard | Brick porch with tiled roof and composite door | £5,800 – £9,250 |
| Premium | Larger porch with WC or oak frame and premium glazing | £8,700 – £14,550 |

Local to Warwickshire
Towns we cover in Warwickshire include Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Bedworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Atherstone. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Planning and approvals in Warwickshire
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 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.
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).
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
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.
