The work involved with building a porch
How much does a porch cost?
The average cost of building a porch in the UK is £3,500 for a porch which measures 3 square metres in ground floor area and is constructed from a dwarf brick wall, a uPVC door, partial glazing around the perimeter and a tiled roof. Although this is an average porch cost for the UK, porches do vary significantly in their style, dimensions and specification. Hence, there are a couple of variables which will determine your total porch cost. Please see our separate guide to the cost of porches for full details.
How long does a porch take to build?
The duration of a porch building project is determined by its size and complexity. Whilst the average 3 square metre porch with uPVC glazing will take two weeks to complete, larger and more elaborate porches can take up to four weeks to build.
