- Why Us
A Stress-Free Process, From Start to Finish
In most cases, porch extensions can be built under Permitted Development rights, but certain limitations must be followed. The porch must not exceed a specific height, ground area, or distance from the highway. It’s essential to ensure your design meets these requirements before beginning construction.
At Two Kings Construction Ltd, we take care of the entire planning process for you — from creating detailed technical drawings to managing planning applications. Our goal is to make the process completely hassle-free, allowing you to focus on your routine while we handle all the permissions and construction details with minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a porch extension?
Most porches fall under Permitted Development rights, provided the ground floor area doesn’t exceed 3 square metres, the height stays under 3 metres, and it’s set back at least 2 metres from any highway. We confirm exactly what applies to your property during your free survey.

Cost depends on size, materials and glazing. Every quote breaks down materials cost, labour cost, and any government documentation costs separately, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
How long does a porch extension take to build?
A typical porch extension takes around 1–2 weeks to build once any required approvals are in place.
