New porch installation Bury St. Edmunds
A custom porch adds style, creates valuable space, and offers a dry, welcoming entry for guests.
I’ve installed many porches and ‘lean-to’ structures around Bury St. Edmunds, helping people improve their homes and provide added insulation and noise protection.
Why Add a Porch to your home?
Adding a small enclosed porch is a quick and popular way to improve your home.
Reduce drafts and cold
Reduce heat loss and drafts and create an insulating barrier.
Extra storage space
Perfect for keeping your living spaces clean and organized.
A welcoming space for guests
A porch can improve the look of your home and make it feel more welcoming.
Protection for the elements
A porch provides shelter at your entrance and a spot for wet coats and shoes.
Improved security
Porches give you an extra security barrier and let you see visitors before opening the door.
Noise insulation
Ideal for homes on busy roads or noisy areas.
Also – good news – most porches don’t need planning permission! They are usually considered permitted development as long as they don’t exceed 3 square metres.

Previous glazing installations by the Property Doctor.
“The work carried out by Andy was excellent. He is very professional and polite. He cleaned and tidied everything when he finished for the day. I will use his expertise again in the near future. Thank you Andy for a good job done.”
“Andy is brilliant for both indoor and outdoor jobs. He did an excellent job fitting some storage cupboards and another time replaced 13 fence posts with high quality posts, after gale damage. Can’t recommend him enough.“
“I can highly recommend Andy, who is very reliable and a great problem solver across a wide range of interior and exterior home maintenance challenges. He is now my go-to person for all property repairs.“
Side and Rear Porches
Porches aren’t just for front doors.
A porch or door canopy on your side or back door can be just as handy.
Keep muddy shoes out of sight and out of the house.
Add a bright nook for enjoying garden views or catching fresh air.
Improve security on more secluded and vulnerable entrances.
Make your room feel more room and light.
Create a sheltered outside spot for a cup of tea or a smoke.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my painting project take?
It depends on factors like room size, prep work, and weather (for exteriors). I’ll give a clear timeline after assessing your space.
Do I need to move furniture myself?
I’m happy to handle light moves and cover furnishings. If you can clear the area beforehand, it speeds up the process.
Can I stay home during painting work?
Yes, though you’ll need to account for paint odors and drying times. I do my best to minimize disruption.
Do you handle exterior painting in winter?
Usually, it’s best to wait for dry, mild conditions. We can plan around the forecast to get the best results.
