There’s no doubt that a porch attached to your home can enhance its overall outlook, but that’s rarely what motivates someone to invest in one. It’s more because it gives you an additional area where you can safely store any personal items that may presently be taking up essential space inside your home; thereby helping to reduce clutter. Large families and those who regularly invite people around will find a porch to be particularly useful and you’d be surprised at just how affordable a porch installation can be.

We offer two types of Warm Roof covering, lightweight tile and lightweight slate. Our lightweight tiles come in five varied colours, whilst our lightweight slate looks virtually identical to natural slate such is the amount of time and effort put into its production. Both are completely weather-proof and maintenance-free.

Lightweight Tile - There’s no denying that traditional slate when first fitted looks exceptionally pleasing on the eye. However, as time goes by it often cracks and loses the visual appeal it once had. Our lightweight tiles are designed to endure; thereby suffering no such problems, even years down the line. These tiles also look exactly like the real thing thanks to their incredible detail; with curves and peaks present throughout the material. An impressive 20 colours are available, including plum, brick red, stone black and pewter grey.

Lightweight Slate - A lightweight tile is all its takes to secure warmth in conservatories, orangeries, porches and other types of home extension. Taking very little time to install, there is also virtually no maintenance. When it comes to colour, you can choose from umber, green, charcoal, red and ebony.

Generally, most porches are classed as being a ‘permitted development’ and not subject to any planning permission requirements. This means the installation process can be conducted quickly and efficiently. Porches categorised as being a permitted development meet the following guidelines; (1) the internal ground floor area does not exceed three square metres; (2) no part of the porch is more than three metres above ground level; (3) no part of the porch is within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling and the highway.

Building Regs - Likewise to planning permission, most porches are exempt from building regulations if they are less than thirty square metres in size when measured internally. The main front entrance door between the existing house and new porch much remain in situ, and the new porch must not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access. Needless to say the fitting of glazing and any fixed electrical installations much comply with the relevant section of building regulations.
