How much does a porch cost in Teesside? (2026)
A porch in Teesside costs £3,500 to £7,000 for uPVC, £5,000 to £9,000 for brick, £7,000 to £12,000 with a downstairs WC, £8,000 to £15,000 for a porch extension, £1,500 to £3,500 for a roof replacement and £200 to £1,500 for repairs in 2026.
Why porches are the cheapest space you can add
A porch sits at the bottom of the home-extension cost ladder because the footprint is tiny and the structure is simple. Where a single-storey extension runs £1,800 to £2,500 per square metre on Teesside, a brick porch typically works out nearer £1,500 to £2,000, and a uPVC porch well under that. For £3,500 to £9,000, the price of a family holiday, you get a draught lobby, storage, security and a transformed frontage, which is why porches remain one of the highest-satisfaction projects homeowners commission.
The money in a porch goes on five things: the groundwork and base, the walls or frames, the roof, the glazing and door, and the finishing. Understanding those five tells you everything about whether a quote is honest.
What actually moves the price
The base
Every porch needs proper footings, typically 600mm to one metre deep depending on ground. Budget £800 to £1,500 for foundations and the floor slab. A quote that glosses over the base is pricing a porch that will crack at the house junction within a few winters.
The roof
A flat EPDM roof is the cheapest sound option; a pitched roof tiled to match the house adds £800 to £1,500 and transforms how the porch reads from the street. The roof is the part of the job the neighbours see, and the difference between \"new porch\" and \"always was there\".
Glazing and frames
White uPVC is the baseline. Coloured or woodgrain frames add ten to fifteen per cent, and upgrading to a composite door within a uPVC porch adds £300 to £600. Brick walls cost more than frames but last longer and carry a WC or extension later.
The extras people forget
Electrics for a light and socket (£150 to £300), internal plastering and flooring (£300 to £800), making good the hallway side, and on WC porches the drainage run, which alone can swing the price by £3,000 depending on where the soil stack sits.
How to judge a quote
Four things separate a real quote from a number on the back of a card: the foundations and floor build-up in writing, the roof specified by material rather than adjective, the frames or brickwork named, and finishing included rather than assumed. If any of the four is missing, ask why. Prices on this page are reviewed quarterly and reflect what Teesside contractors actually charge, not national averages.
