Stroud Porch Extensions (GL5): If you don't want to empty your bank account but are still keen to improve the look of your house in Stroud, one great way is to put up a porch extension. Of all the possible home extension projects, building a porch is one of the easiest and cheapest. A beautiful porch can give a good first impression to anyone visiting your house, will add some value, and should save a fair amount of heat loss.
For the planning and design of a porch it is best to consult with a qualified builder in Stroud. You can also get a wealth of information and inspiration for porches on the internet. In addition, seek the expertise of an experienced architect or designer to gain valuable insights and customise the porch design to your unique preferences and requirements.
If you decide to get the ball rolling and build a porch, you will firstly need to consider your preferred materials for the windows, the ceiling, the door, the roof, the walls and the floor.
At this stage you might also think about electrical sockets, internal design, decoration, furniture and storage options.
Do Porches Need Planning Permission? When you are building a porch onto the front entrance of your property in Stroud, you shouldn't need planning permission if: your residence is a house, and not a flat, maisonette or other type of building, the porch construction doesn't exceed a ground area of 3m2, no portion of the porch construction is over 3m above ground level, no component of the construction is within 2m from the property boundary on which it is being built or within two metres of any highway.
Shoot down to your local planning office if you're unclear about any of this. Ask your chosen Stroud porch builder to help you out with this procedure. To be safe rather than sorry, check!
Building Regulations: You should bear in mind that building regulations and planning permission are two different things altogether. If your project means that any disability access is maintained, the porch area is less than 30m2 and is at ground level and the exterior door stays in place, you will not need building regulations approval. Certain kinds of window and all electrical installations in porches will be needing building regulations approval.
The Benefits: You may be wondering just what benefits can be gained by putting in a porch, these include: decreasing heat loss through your front door, providing somewhere to hang coats, stand wet umbrellas and leave muddy shoes, offering somewhere to park a bike, giving extra character to an otherwise plain doorway, boosting the value of the property, enhancing the property's appeal to buyers should you need to put it on the market, give you a bit of extra storage space and an extra deterrent to burglars.

If you read through the 1st page of listings, you will see that the upper and lower 4 listings will usually be some kind of "paid for" advertisements, whilst a large percentage of the rest will be for major trade portals such as Checkatrade, Rated People, My Builder, Bidvine, TrustaTrader or Quotatis or online directories like Yell, Free Index, Yelp or 3 Best Rated.
