Porch entrances in Mile End

The housing in Mile End is largely Victorian terraces, post-war estate flats and canal-side new builds. 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. Modern homes often suit simple flat or lean-to roofed porches with a composite door, keeping the entrance tidy and in line with the house style.

The A11 is one of East London's busiest routes, so acoustic glazing is a popular request for front rooms. For flats, we will help you get freeholder or landlord consent sorted and plan lift or stair access before we bring the frames over from Edmonton, about 5.8 miles away.

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
• Secure place for parcels and deliveries
• Smarter, more welcoming front entrance
