Porch entrances for Highgate homes

Homes in Highgate are mostly Georgian houses, Victorian villas, terraces and mansion blocks. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans.

Victorian terraces often have little space between the front door and pavement, so check the porch footprint and distance to the boundary before committing to a design. Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent.

We make sash windows to the original proportions and glazing bar patterns. Where the old frames must stay, secondary glazing fitted inside improves comfort without altering anything from the street. Houses on Archway Road face a lot of traffic, and acoustic glass helps there. Highgate is about 5.2 miles from our factory.

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.

  • Extra space for coats and shoes
  • Buffer against draughts and cold air
  • Secure place for parcels and deliveries

Questions from Highgate

Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in Highgate?

Highgate is a conservation area split between Haringey and Camden councils, with many listed buildings, so we check your property's status and the right council's guidance before quoting. 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 Highgate?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.2 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 Highgate 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 5.2 miles from Highgate. We can also bring samples to your home in Highgate at the free survey.
