UPVC & Brick Porches

It’s only once you have a porch installed at your house that you begin to understand how handy it is to have one. It will totally transform your front entrance and will be a great location for storing various items of clothing e.g. coats, jackets, shoes etc. Our porches also make the grade when it comes to thermal efficiency due to the high insulating materials and glass we use to build them. Adding a solid tiled roof to a TradeMark porch also enhances the thermal comfort provided by these dependable structures.

UPVC is the most frequently requested building material for our porches and it comes as no shock as householders are well aware of the weather-resistant and energy efficient qualities of the profile. A UPVC porch needs very little attention and will keep the entrance into your home pleasantly comfortable by shutting out draughts, causing a drastic cut in fuel costs. The flexibility of UPVC enables us to produce porches with decorative gable ends and a curved external bead, should you request it.

It will likely be the case that your new porch will not require planning permission due to it falling under Permitted Development Rights. In this scenario, the porch can immediately be constructed without any delay. It will qualify as 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 - Planning permission isn’t the same as securing building regulations approval – don’t make the mistake of confusing the two! Porches are completely exempt from building regulations when they are less than thirty square metres in size, measured internally. You must also ensure that the main front entrance door between your house and the new porch remain in situ, and the porch mustn’t affect any ramped or levelled access. Any fitted glazing or fixed electrical installations must also comply with current building regulations.
