Porch entrances in W3

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.

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. Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent.

Few places have as many railways, with the Elizabeth line, Central line, District and Piccadilly lines and the Overground all passing through, along with the A40 Western Avenue and Uxbridge Road. Acoustic glazing is often requested. Acton is about 11.1 miles from our Edmonton factory, and we plan visits to fit around the traffic.

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
• Smarter, more welcoming front entrance
