Porches designed for Richmond homes
Richmond's Georgian and Victorian streets around the Green, the Hill and Kew are among the most protected in London. A porch here is usually a heritage project, and the joinery, roofing and proportions have to be right.
Homes in Richmond range from Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian period 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
Painted timber or oak with slate or clay roofs, often with lead detailing. On Victorian villas, a canopy on traditional brackets is often the best fit.
Planning permission in Richmond
Richmond is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and Richmond 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.
Much of central Richmond, including Richmond Hill and Richmond Green, is in a conservation area and some homes are listed, so planning or listed building consent may be needed. 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.
