Porch Extensions · Hertfordshire

A warm welcome and practical new entrance.

A porch does more than shelter the front door. It adds character to your home's facade, gives you a place for coats, shoes and parcels, and creates a proper first impression, all in a relatively small footprint.

Discuss Your Porch Extension

Beautiful homes. More space. Expertly built.

The Opportunity

Your front door could do more for your home.

A cold draught every time the door opens, coats piled on the banister, parcels left on the step. Many homes have an entrance that doesn't quite work.

A well-designed porch solves all of that. It creates a buffer between outside and in, gives you practical storage, and adds a considered, welcoming detail to the front of your home.

It's a small addition that makes a real difference to how your home feels every single day.

FAQS

Porch extension questions, Answered.

Do I need planning permission for a porch?

Many porches fall under Permitted Development if they're under three square metres, below a certain height and more than two metres from a boundary facing a highway. Larger or more prominent porches may need permission. We'll advise on your specific case.

Porches are one of the smaller extensions we build, so costs are relatively modest compared to a full extension — though they vary depending on size, materials and glazing. We'll provide a clear quote after assessing your home.

A porch is typically a quick project, often taking a week or two of construction depending on size and complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline.

Absolutely. We match brickwork, roof tiles, windows and doors so the porch looks like a natural part of your home, not an afterthought.

A well-designed porch adds kerb appeal and practicality, which can support your home's value. The key is designing it to complement the house, not clash with it.

That's completely normal. We'll explore what's possible for your entrance and help you decide, with no pressure.
