Porches Liverpool

Porches are small house extensions that are placed in front of your home’s main entrance. They’re practical spaces that can store coats or shoes and can also provide an extra buffer of insulation for your home, reducing any draught that might come from opening the front door.

A good size porch is no larger than 3 square metres. Any larger and you would need to apply for planning permission, which would increase the total cost of the build.

Porches cost between £3,000 and £5,000 depending in the UK. This is assuming that the porch is 3m², made of brick, with a concrete floor, tiled roof and composite door.

A self-assemble UPVC porch can cost between £900 and £1,500. This package would include UPVC frame, full-height glass sides and a double glazed door. Assembling a UPVC porch may also require DIY skills, tools and time to complete.

Porch types can be defined by the roof style and are suited to different homes. For example, a pitched roof is a good choice when the porch is placed to the side of the home, due to planning restrictions. Whereas a gable-ended pitched roof is better suited for homes that have the requisite space between boundary and highway to extend outwards.

A brick porch costs starts at £8,500. Costs vary depending on the features that you are looking to include. For example, if you’re looking to feature custom glass in your doors or pay for a Rockdoor, for added security, you may find that you pay more for your birch porch.
