Porch entrances in Islington

The housing in Islington is largely Georgian terraces, Victorian houses, mansion blocks and council estates. 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 match original designs, and supply secondary glazing for listed homes where replacements are not allowed. Parking is limited and heavily controlled, so we arrange permits and access in advance. Islington is about 5.6 miles from our Edmonton factory, close enough for quick aftercare visits.

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
• Smarter, more welcoming front entrance
