Porch entrances for Holloway homes

The housing in Holloway is largely Victorian terraces, converted flats and council estates. 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. For landlords, a porch can create a draught lobby protecting the entrance to a shared house, but check fire safety and escape routes before enclosing space.

Noise is often the first thing people mention. Bedrooms facing the A1, Camden Road or Seven Sisters Road can be transformed with acoustic double glazing, or with secondary glazing behind the existing sashes. Parking is tight on most streets, so we sort out bay suspensions or permits before fitting day. The drive from our factory is about 4.9 miles.

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.

  • Buffer against draughts and cold air
  • Secure place for parcels and deliveries

Questions from Holloway

Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in Holloway?

Some Holloway streets are in Islington Council conservation areas, so we check whether your road is covered before quoting, particularly for front windows. 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 Holloway?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 4.9 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 Holloway 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 4.9 miles from Holloway. We can also bring samples to your home in Holloway at the free survey.
