Porches designed for Acton homes
Acton's terraces around Acton Town, South Acton and the Poets' Corner area are mostly Victorian and Edwardian, with inter-war houses further north. Many still have their original recessed doorways.
Homes in Acton range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and inter-war houses. We match your brickwork, roof tiles and front door so the porch looks like part of the original house.
Which porch suits your house
Timber canopies and small brick porches suit the terraces. Inter-war houses suit an enclosed porch with leaded or plain glazing.
Planning permission in Acton
Acton is in the London Borough of Ealing, and Ealing Council handles planning. Under permitted development, a porch normally needs no planning permission if its floor area is 3 square metres or less, no part is over 3 metres high, and it is at least 2 metres from a boundary with a road.
Acton has conservation areas, including Acton Town Centre and Mill Hill Park, where front alterations need care. We check your address before we quote and, where planning is needed, we prepare the drawings. Read our porch planning guide for the full rules.
What it costs
Price depends on size, materials and finish. A simple canopy costs far less than an enclosed brick or oak porch. After a free visit we give you a fixed written price, with no pressure to go ahead. Call 020 8049 1004.
