At 5 Star, we take care of everything you need for your new porch, from building the base and brickwork to installing windows, doors, decorative panels, and the roof. We can even match the new porchโs bricks to your existing brickwork and handle the installation of UPVC guttering, drainpipes, internal plastering, and any necessary electrical work. Our porches are made to the highest standards and are extremely low maintenance.
Porches make life easier
When you weigh up what it costs against its usefulness there is every reason to own one as it will be utilised time and time again, more so than any other home extension.

Common questions about porches
Adding a porch is a simple yet effective way to improve your homeโs appearance, security and comfort. However, homeowners often have questions before deciding whether a porch is right for them. Below are some of the most common questions customers ask when considering a porch from 5 Star.
1. Do I need planning permission for a porch?
In many cases, porches fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission, provided they meet certain size and height limits. However, rules can vary depending on your property type and location. 5 Star will guide you through the requirements and advise if permission is needed.
2. Will a porch improve home security?
Yes. A porch adds an extra layer of security by creating a secondary entrance to your home. With secure doors, locks and glazing, a 5 Star porch helps deter intruders while giving you greater peace of mind.
3. Does a porch help with insulation and heat retention?
A porch acts as a thermal buffer between the outside and your main entrance. This helps reduce draughts and heat loss, keeping your home warmer in winter and improving overall energy efficiency throughout the year.
4. Can a porch be designed to match my home?
Absolutely. 5 Star porches are bespoke and designed to complement your propertyโs style. From traditional to modern designs, you can choose materials, windows, doors and finishes that blend seamlessly with your home.
5. How long does it take to install a porch?
Most porch installations are completed quickly and with minimal disruption. The exact timeframe depends on the design and specification, but 5 Star will provide clear timescales and keep you informed at every stage.
6. Are porches low maintenance?
Yes. 5 Star porches are built using durable, low maintenance materials. Simple cleaning of the frames and glazing is usually all thatโs required to keep your porch looking great and performing well for years.
7. Can I add storage or seating to my porch?
Many homeowners use porches as practical spaces for shoes, coats or storage. Depending on the size and design, your porch can be tailored to include functional features that suit your everyday needs.
8. Will a porch add value to my home?
A well designed porch can enhance kerb appeal and improve functionality, which may increase your homeโs appeal to future buyers. Itโs a cost effective improvement that delivers both practical and visual benefits.
