Cardiff Porch Extensions (CF1): There are many ways to improve the appearance of your home in Cardiff, adding a porch extension is one easy way to do this that doesn't break the bank. In fact building a porch is among the easiest and most affordable home improvement projects you can carry out. An eye-catching porch gives a good first impression to anyone visiting your home, will add some value, and can save a fair bit of heat loss.
If you need some assistance with the planning and design of your proposed porch, a competent builder in Cardiff should be able to help. You can also get a wealth of inspiration and information for porches on the internet.
Before any building work starts on your porch you must consider your preferred materials for the door, the roof, the floor, the ceiling, the walls and the windows.
It would be as well to also think about electric sockets, internal design, decoration, storage possibilities and furniture.
Is Planning Permission Needed for a Porch?

It's probably best to pop along to your local planning office before pressing ahead with your porch. Your chosen Cardiff porch builder will be happy to help you with this procedure. Be sure, and check!
Building Regulations: Building regulations approval is of course an altogether different thing to planning permission.
