Timber Porches

With proper maintenance, our timber porches are built to last for generations. We use naturally durable hardwoods such as Oak, which are inherently resistant to decay and weathering. Combined with quality joinery techniques and appropriate finishes, many timber porches remain structurally sound and beautiful for 50+ years or more. We provide care guidelines to help you maintain your porch's appearance and longevity.

Many timber porches fall under Permitted Development rights and don't require planning permission, provided they meet certain criteria regarding size, height, and distance from boundaries. However, if you live in a listed building, conservation area, or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), additional restrictions may apply. Our team handles all planning requirements on your behalf, including preparation of necessary drawings and liaison with local authorities.

We primarily craft our timber porches from premium-grade hardwoods including Oak, Sapele, and Idigbo. Oak is particularly popular for its natural strength, distinctive grain, and traditional appeal. All our timber is sustainably sourced and carefully selected for quality, beauty, and structural integrity. We can also source specialist timbers upon request for projects with specific aesthetic requirements.
