UPVC & Brick Porches

It will only be a few days after your porch installation being completed that you will discover how useful an addition it is. You can use it as a storage point, and it’s an attractive way to introduce guests to your living space. Our porches are also extremely energy efficient, and you can be thankful to the roofing system and windows and doors for that. All you should feel in the little bit of time spent within the porch is warmth. Your home will look so much more welcoming with a porch and that’s reason enough to buy one.

While a porch doesn’t quite match a conservatory or orangery for glitz and glamour, you shouldn’t turn your nose up at the idea of integrating one at home. Considering the inexpensiveness of a porch, it can have a dramatic impact on the kerb appeal of your house and the way you live your life within it. The space inside of a porch will also prove invaluable. It should free up room in other internal areas because certain items of clothing can be kept inside of it. We also fit a Warm Roof to each of our porches to help make the structural design thermally efficient and ensure it feels comforting.

We receive a high number of requests for our UPVC porches from householders that want a porch they know will require minimal cleaning and is certain to retain its visual appeal. UPVC also has fantastic thermal qualities and will keep the cost of your energy bills under better control. Your heating system needn’t come under additional strain because of the addition of a porch, and the UPVC material can be credited for that. We can mould and shape UPVC pretty easily, which lets Amber create decorative gable ends and a curved external bead, when stipulated of course.

Times have changed and you can now have UPVC porches finished in a much wider choice of colours, even some of the most unique colours you can think up. Our standard colour range includes several timeless favourites such as White, Whitegrain, Cream and Chartwell Green. But, these colours are fast being challenged by the emergence of Black, Grey and Irish Oak.

It is unlikely that you will need to obtain planning permission to build a porch at your home as it will likely fall under Permitted Development Rights. This will heavily work in your favour as it avoids any potential hold-up with the project and having to wait for a planning application to be assessed by your local authority. Your porch will be a permitted development so long as (1) the internal ground floor area does not exceed three square metres; (2) no part of the porch is more than three metres above ground level; (3) no part of the porch is within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling and the highway.

Building Regs – Conversely, if the porch doesn’t require planning permission, it will also probably be exempt from building regulations too, providing it is less than thirty square metres in size, measured internally. The main front entrance door between the existing house and new porch much remain in situ, and the new porch must not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access. Needless to say the fitting of glazing and any fixed electrical installations much comply with the relevant section of building regulations.
