Porches designed for Hounslow homes
Hounslow's streets mix tight Victorian terraces near the town centre with wide inter-war roads around Lampton, Heston and Cranford. Many front doors open straight onto a short path, so a porch is often the simplest way to add a draught lobby, a place for coats and shoes, and a cleaner frontage.
Homes in Hounslow range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war family homes. We match your brickwork, roof tiles and front door so the porch looks like part of the original house.
Which porch suits your house
On terraces, a compact brick porch with a lean-to tiled roof keeps the building line neat. On 1930s semis, a part-glazed porch with a hipped roof picks up the shape of the original bay.
Planning permission in Hounslow
Hounslow 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.
Parts of the borough, including areas around older village centres, are covered by conservation area controls, and a small number of homes sit under Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights. 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.
