Local advice

Porch entrances for Cockfosters homes

Homes in Cockfosters are mostly 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built flats. 1930s semis with recessed or arched entrances suit infill porches that close the recess with a new glazed frame and door, rather than a separate structure.

Detached houses and cottages usually have room for a larger porch, but one exceeding permitted development size limits will need a planning application. Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent.

That is why bifold and sliding doors are popular requests, often alongside a full set of replacement windows and a new composite front door. We make all of these in Edmonton, about 5.5 miles away. The person who measures your home works with the team who builds and fits it, so nothing gets lost in between.

A porch adds an enclosed entrance at the front or back of your home, creating a buffer against weather, draughts and noise, plus space for shoes, coats and deliveries. We design and build porches with made-to-measure frames and doors, suiting terraces, semis and detached homes alike.

Questions from Cockfosters

Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in Cockfosters?

Most Cockfosters homes can have like-for-like replacements, but some streets are within Enfield Council conservation areas and Trent Park is protected, so we check first. A porch on a house is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 square metres, no part is over 3 metres high and it is at least 2 metres from a boundary with a highway, and ground-level porches under 30 square metres are generally exempt from Building Regulations if the existing front door is kept.

How soon can you fit porch entrances in Cockfosters?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.5 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

Do I need planning permission for a porch?

Not usually for a house, if the porch has no more than 3 square metres of ground floor area, is under 3 metres high and is at least 2 metres from any boundary with a road or footpath. Flats, listed buildings and some conservation areas in Cockfosters have different rules, so check before building.

Can I see samples before I decide?

Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 5.5 miles from Cockfosters. We can also bring samples to your home in Cockfosters at the free survey.
