A popular option for homeowners looking to enhance the appearance of their property while maintaining an open entrance design. Featuring a roof structure supported by pillars or posts, open porches provide shelter while preserving the original feel of the entrance.

Edwardian porches offer a classic and elegant appearance with a square or rectangular design and a pitched roof. This style maximises internal space while creating a balanced, symmetrical look that suits many traditional homes.
Victorian porches feature a more decorative design with a traditional pitched roof and elegant detailing. Ideal for period properties and homes with classic architecture, adding character while creating a welcoming entrance.

Canopy porches provide a stylish shelter above your front door without fully enclosing the entrance. Supported by posts or brackets, they protect your doorway from the elements while enhancing the overall appearance of your home.

In many cases, planning permission is not required for a porch in the UK, as most small porch extensions fall under permitted development. However, certain size limits and conditions must be met for this to apply. Generally, a porch can be built without planning permission if it meets the following guidelines:
If your porch design stays within these limits, it can usually be installed without formal planning approval.
Planning permission may be needed if your proposed porch exceeds the permitted size limits or if your property is located in a conservation area, listed building, or special planning zone. In these cases, additional rules may apply.
At Gill Glazing & Home Improvement, we help homeowners across the West Midlands, Worcestershire and Warwickshire design porches that comply with current building guidelines. If planning approval or building regulation checks are required, our team can guide you through the process to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Selecting the right porch depends on your available space, design preferences, and how you plan to use the area.
A porch should complement the existing architecture of your home to create a natural and balanced appearance.
If you need additional storage space or improved insulation, an enclosed porch may be the best option.
Using strong materials such as brickwork, uPVC frames, and quality glazing ensures your porch will stand the test of time.
