Porches designed for Twickenham homes
From the riverside around Twickenham Green and Strawberry Hill to the family roads of Whitton, Twickenham is mostly Edwardian and inter-war housing with generous front gardens. That leaves room for a full enclosed porch without crowding the path.
Homes in Twickenham range from Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis and detached 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
Edwardian terraces suit timber or oak canopies. 1930s semis suit an enclosed brick porch with a hipped tiled roof matched to the main house.
Planning permission in Twickenham
Twickenham 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.
Richmond Council has a high number of conservation areas, including Twickenham Riverside and Strawberry Hill, and checks front changes carefully. 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.
