What Youâll Be Getting with Our Porch Building Kits
As well as a completely cost-effective feature for your home, youâll also be getting a range of other benefits that come from buying a timber framed porch. Youâll be getting these right from the start, too, because we prime each of our porch building kits for easy assembly using a series of traditional jointing techniques.
These techniques allow each part of the frames to slot neatly together, giving you the ease of a swift, simple build. If youâve had some previous DIY experience and you follow the instruction manual weâll provide with the kit, you should be able to install your porch in no time at all.
If youâve been thinking of building a porch for some time and you already have your own ideas in mind for its design, we can also help you make them a reality. Weâre fully prepared to offer bespoke designs when you know these would best fit your property, so please donât hesitate to get in touch if youâd like this service.
Weâll price your product based on the size of the porch (offering a similar estimate to ready-made porches of the same size), so youâll never have to worry about going over your planned budget just because you want something bespoke.
Why Choose Us for Porch Kits in the UK?
Our porch prices arenât the only reason customers across the UK consistently choose us for their own home improvement needs, either. There are many reasons they continue to make us their first choice, a few of which weâve detailed below for your consideration:
Our Sustainably Sourced Products: Every type of porch kit we produce is manufactured from the finest Douglas-fir and green oak we have available, which all comes from a specially designated site in France. All of these are cultivated to be as tall, straight, and strong as possible, so that more of the wood can be used in our work and less is wasted during manufacture.
For every tree we use in our work, we also make sure that three more are planted in its place. This keeps our work sustainable and allows us to keep competitive prices.
Offering Expert Timber Grading: Once the wood has reached our site, itâll be checked over and thoroughly inspected by our team of carpenters and timber graders. Theyâll look for flaws, warps, or other faults that could affect the strength of a kit. If any weak pieces are found, these will be responsibly recycled instead.
Precision Manufacturing: Our work is aided by state-of-the-art machinery, which offers highly accurate and efficient results at every stage. This rules out human error and mistakes which might otherwise happen when cutting the frames, so youâll be guaranteed a perfectly strong kit that fits together as it should.
A Q-Mark Certified Process: Everything we do is carried out to guidelines and standards set by BM TRADA. This is widely considered one of the strictest and most respected certification panels in the UK, so you can feel confident knowing that your back or front porch has been made to industry standards.
Porch Building and Getting Planning Permission
In most cases, you should find that our porch kits wonât need planning permission before you install them on your property. However, this does only apply if the design falls within the measurements allowed for permitted development. If youâd like to find out more about this before ordering a kit for your back or front door, please see our advice on planning permission and porches.
It should also be noted that youâll need to pay a fee to submit a planning application. This will be ÂŁ172 in England, ÂŁ166 in Wales, and ÂŁ202 in Scotland. To find out more about planning permission in your local area, please speak with your local authority. Theyâll be able to provide you with more specific information.
Whatâs the Average Cost of an Oak or Timber Porch in the UK?
In the UK, you can normally expect to pay ÂŁ1,500 or more for an oak or timber porch on its own. On top of this, youâll most likely also have to pay for the porch roof to be pitched, for the base, blockwork, and concrete paving, and for any costs involved with third party labour. Altogether, you may find that costs to build your porch could exceed ÂŁ4,000.
With our service and by using our porch cost calculator, youâre more likely to find the kit design you need at a price that fits your budget, because weâll keep all the costs together, from the porch roof down to the bricks it will sit on. As weâre providing you with a kit you can build yourself, weâll also be helping to cut out the costs involved with third party labour, so you can more easily keep to the budget youâve got in mind.
