These are general UK ranges. We build across the North West, including Darwen, Blackburn and the wider Lancashire and Greater Manchester area - site access, local trade rates and travel distance can move your actual price within (or occasionally outside) the range above.
Key points
- Materials - uPVC sits at the affordable end, with brick-built and oak-framed porches costing considerably more.
- Size - permitted development caps a porch at 3m² floor area, so most stay small by design.
- Whether it includes a new front door and glazing, or reuses the existing door.
- Foundations - a solid-based, brick-built porch needs proper footings; a lightweight canopy doesn't.
