    A porch is perfect for those conscious about security...

    The porch you have fitted should not be subject to building regulations if the current front entrance to your house remains in situ which will help avoid any delay in installation time. It will be an extremely secure addition to your home as the windows and doors included in the design feature high security hinges and handles, multi-point locking mechanisms, anti-bump/snap cylinders and dog bolts, just like you would find in any regular windows and doors. This will give you added confidence when leaving any valuables inside the structure.

    A surprisingly affordable investment...

    Many of us aspire to own a conservatory or orangery, more so than a porch as it tends to be more of a functional form of investment. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t become as priceless as a home extension as you can expect to use it time and time again. Its presence will enable you to use it as a storage point and prevent other areas of the house from becoming overly cluttered and cramped full of belongings, particularly useful if you have a large family. The windows, doors and Warm Roof work together to keep the patio thermally efficient too.

    Planning permission & building regulations...

    • More porches do not require planning permission as they are classed as being a ‘permitted development’. This is good news for those eager to have their porch fitted and useable as quickly as possible. A porch is considered to be a ‘permitted development’ if it meets the following criteria: (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.

    • Likewise to planning permission requirements, the vast majority of porches are excluded from building regulations so that long as they measure thirty square metres internally. It must also not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access and the front entrance of the property should remain in situ between the house and porch. The type of glazing chosen and any fixed electrical installations made need to comply with building regulations too.
