Porch Extensions Gillingham

You will need a qualified builder in Gillingham to assist you with the design and planning or your porch. There's also such a lot of information online that it would be a mistake not to go there for some inspiration and innovative ideas.

One of the first details that you'll need to consider if you choose to take the plunge and build a porch is what materials you'd prefer to use for the roof, the walls, the door, the floor, the ceiling and the windows.

More things to think about include: internal design, storage options, furnishings, decoration and power sockets.

Is Planning Permission Required for a Porch? You probably won't need planning permission to build a porch on the front entrance to your property in Gillingham if: your residence is a house, not a flat, maisonette or other form of building, no section of the porch construction is within 2 metres of any highway or 2 metres from the boundary of the property on which it is being built, no component of the porch is over 3m above ground level, the external floor area of the construction isn't over 3m2.

Before proceeding with your porch construction, it is always a good idea to shoot down to your local planning office. Your chosen Gillingham porch builder should be willing to liase with the planning office. Be sure, and check!

Building Regulations Relating to Porch Construction: You shouldn't confuse building regulations with planning permission, since the two are entirely separate. Building regulations approval should not be needed if the external door stays in place, the porch area is less than 30 square metres and is at ground level and all current disabled access is preserved. All electrical installations and certain types of windows in porches will be needing building regulations approval.
