Situated in a neighborhood of grand Victorians, this shingled Foursquare home seemed like a bit of a wallflower with its plain façade. The homeowner came to Cummings Architects hoping for a design that would add some character and make the house feel more a part of the neighborhood.

Please call us on 0800 999 0909, send us a message online or book an appointment and we can begin the process of generating a comprehensive quote for your new uPVC porch. The owners of this beautiful historic farmhouse had been painstakingly restoring it bit by bit. One of the last items on their list was to create a wrap-around front porch to create a more distinct and obvious entrance to the front of their home. We successfully created a place for the client to enjoy with her future grandchildren that’s filled with nostalgic nods to the memories she made with her own grandmother. Our porches are made-to-measure based on your preferences and specifications.

There are many benefits involved when you upgrade from a timber porch to a uPVC porch. Front porch features Modern conservation practice insists on the replacement of materials with like materials. When wrought iron is available for the repair and replication of wrought ironwork, why use mild steel? We recommend a full visual inspection 6 – 10 weeks after installation to ensure there is no discolouration/oxidation from water ingress which may occur in some of the tighter joints, or from chips/scratches that may have been missed initially. After the introduction of mild steel, cheap because of its ability to be mass produced, wrought iron, and the craft skills associated with it, gradually disappeared in accordance with the general decline of craft standards in the twentieth century, until the last ironworks ceased production in 1974.

We have had many people who asked us what changed on the house but did not know what we did. When we told them we put the porch on, all of them made the statement that they did not notice it was a new addition and fit into the house perfectly.” Generally speaking, a porch can be built without building regulations if its base is under 3 square metres. However, you should ensure that the porch’s glazing and any fixed electrics also comply with building regulations before construction begins. Failure to comply with building regulations could see your porch be forcibly removed. Door canopies are a great choice to add a touch of style, shelter and shade to the entrance areas of homes and buildings. We offer an array of roof options to give you the freedom to choose what you prefer. Our most cost-effective option would be our galvanised mild sheet roof (see below for more information about this type of roof).

As we move forward, out of COVID-19 restrictions, we believe 2022 is the year of straight lines. Arched windows were certainly popular in the 90s and 2000s and they still look great on certain homes. However, switching out the ornate starburst windows for contemporary and clean straight-line designs can instantly give your home an updated look. Modernise your porch; take it into the future and keep it there.
