Porch entrances in Kingsbury

Around Kingsbury you will mostly find interwar bay-fronted semis, terraces and Arts & Crafts cottages. 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.

Detached houses and cottages usually have room for a larger porch, but one exceeding permitted development size limits will need a planning application. 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.

For standard semis, a straight replacement of windows and front door is simple, and many owners choose white or woodgrain uPVC with a lead-effect pattern to keep the original style. Roe Green Village is a conservation area, so homes there need extra care and a check with Brent first. We come over from Edmonton, about 10.3 miles away, to measure and survey.

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.
