Porches designed for Chiswick homes
Chiswick has some of West London's best-kept period streets, from the red-brick terraces of Grove Park to the Arts and Crafts houses of Bedford Park. Buyers here notice the front of a house, and a well-made porch adds to its value.
Homes in Chiswick range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and large period 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
Traditional oak frames, hand-made clay tiles and lead flashings suit most of W4. For Victorian terraces, a tiled canopy on carved brackets keeps the original door on show.
Planning permission in Chiswick
Chiswick 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.
Large parts of Chiswick, including Bedford Park, Strand on the Green and Grove Park, are conservation areas, so planning is often needed and we prepare the drawings. 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.
