In short: The Porch Company designs and builds porches in Brentford, London Borough of Hounslow, covering TW8. Most porches here don't need planning permission, take one to two weeks to build, and start with a free home visit. Call 020 8049 1004.
Porches designed for Brentford homes
Brentford sits where the Grand Union Canal meets the Thames. Older streets near the High Street and Boston Manor have small Victorian cottages, while the riverside has newer townhouses with flat fronts and little shelter at the door.
Homes in Brentford range from Victorian cottages, terraces and newer townhouses. We match your brickwork, roof tiles and front door so the porch looks like part of the original house.
Which porch suits your house
Cottages suit a slim canopy or a small brick porch that doesn't crowd the front garden. Modern townhouses suit a frameless glazed or aluminium canopy that keeps the clean lines.
Planning permission in Brentford
Brentford is in the London Borough of Hounslow, and Hounslow 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.
Brentford has several conservation areas around the High Street, the canal and St Paul's, so we check location before design. 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.
