Brick porches in Cambourne & South Cambridgeshire
A brick porch does two jobs at once: it gives you somewhere to keep coats, shoes and parcels out of the hall, and it lifts a standard developer frontage into something that looks like yours. On the near-identical house types around Cambourne, a well-built porch is one of the most cost-effective ways to make a home stand out on its street.
Brick-built porches
A proper brick porch has footings, cavity brickwork matched to the house, a tiled or slated pitched roof, and a solid or glazed door, rather than a bolt-on plastic canopy. Built to match, it looks original.
Front-elevation & facing work
Beyond porches, we do the facing brickwork that changes how a house presents: rebuilt or extended bay work, feature brick detailing, new openings and tidying up tired or mismatched frontages.
What does a brick porch cost?
A porch is priced by size, roof, door and glazing, so a small open porch and a large enclosed one (say, with a WC or storage) are very different jobs.
We’ll give you a fixed written price after a quick visit to measure up and talk through the look you’re after.
Common questions
- How much does a brick porch cost to build?
- It’s driven by size, roof, door and glazing, so an open porch and an enclosed one differ a fair bit. We quote a fixed price after measuring up, rather than a figure that might not match what you want.
- Do I need planning permission for a porch?
- Porches under three square metres of floor area, under three metres high and not too close to the highway are generally permitted development, but we’ll confirm against your specific frontage and Cambourne’s estate rules at the visit.
