Porch entrances for Kensington homes
Homes in Kensington are mostly stucco terraces, mansion blocks, mews houses and converted period flats. 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. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans.
We plan access, parking and building-management requirements before fitting day so the work runs smoothly in busy streets.
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
Questions from Kensington
Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in Kensington?
Large parts of Kensington are covered by conservation areas and many buildings are listed, so we confirm requirements with Kensington & Chelsea Council and the freeholder 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 Kensington?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 10 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.
What door should I choose for my porch?
A composite or uPVC door matched to the frame colour is a common choice, with your existing front door kept as an inner door. This creates a draught lobby and keeps your home secure. Keeping the existing door also helps the porch stay exempt from Building Regulations.
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 10 miles from Kensington. We can also bring samples to your home in Kensington at the free survey.
