What is a Porch?
A porch is a practical and stylish extension added to the front of your home, designed to enhance both appearance and functionality. In the UK, porches are commonly built as fully enclosed structures featuring a secure front door, energy-efficient windows, and a choice of roof styles to complement your property. Installing a porch offers several benefits for homeowners. It creates a useful additional space for storing shoes, coats, and parcels, while also forming an extra barrier against cold air and draughts — helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce heat loss. A well-built porch can also enhance home security and significantly improve the kerb appeal of your property. Whether you’re looking to make your entrance more welcoming, improve insulation, or add long-term value to your home, a professionally installed porch is a smart and cost-effective investment.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Porch?
In most cases, porches in the UK fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is not usually required — provided certain size and location limits are met.
- Exceeds 3m² in floor area
- Is within 2 metres of the boundary facing a highway
- Could restrict access or create an obstruction
Regulations can vary depending on your property type and local council requirements. If planning permission is needed, our experienced team will guide you through the entire process.
At Khan Fix Glazing, we take care of all necessary applications and paperwork on your behalf, ensuring a smooth, compliant and hassle-free installation from start to finish.
Added Space
Create a new space to keep shoes, coats and more outside your main home. You’ll not only be freeing up space inside – you’ll also be able to contain those muddy wellies and wet coats, especially useful if your front door opens straight into your living room or kitchen.
Increased Security
A porch adds another layer of security to your home, deterring burglars and intruders. Depending on material and style, our porch doors have a wide range of security features, including Secured by Design accredited 3 -star rated cylinder locks, to keep your home safe and secure.
Quality Build
Built to the highest quality standards, with foundations to a depth of at least 650mm and a thick damp-proof membrane, steps, plastering, lighting and power points if you need them.
Energy Efficiency
Adding a porch adds an insulating layer on the front of your home, helping to reduce heat loss and draughts through your front door. This helps keep your home warmer in winter, reducing the amount of heating you use, which in turn helps lower your energy bills.

Your Questions on Porches Answered by Us
What is the purpose of a porch?
A porch can add useful extra space to your home, and a place to leave shoes or muddy wellies, as well as adding an interesting feature to the exterior. A porch could also increase your home’s energy efficiency as well as security by adding an extra barrier outside your original front door.
How much does a porch cost?
The cost of a porch will greatly depend on its size and location, as well as the style you choose in terms of roof shape and glazing. The materials you choose will also impact the price, such as brick, uPVC, or aluminium.
Do you need foundations for a porch?
Yes, a porch needs to be built on foundations to ensure it’s sturdy and secure. The depth of the foundations will depend on the ground and the size of the porch.
What is a prefab porch?
A prefab porch, or a prefabricated porch, means the structure is built off-site and brought to the property ready to be assembled. This can make for a faster construction of the porch. While we don’t offer prefab porches, we do offer our new modular CosyRoom conservatories, orangeries and rear extensions.
