Bespoke Porch Construction Across Greater London
A carefully designed porch can improve the appearance of a property entrance while creating a more practical and protected transition between the exterior and the home.
General Space Construction provides porch construction and entrance improvement services for homeowners, landlords and property professionals across Greater London.
Our porch service can cover the project from the initial preparation and construction stages rather than only installing glazing or finishing an existing structure. Depending on the agreed design and scope, work can include base preparation, structural construction, roofing, glazing, doors, flooring, tiling, electrical work, lighting and final decoration.
Every entrance is different. The design needs to consider the style of the existing property, available space, access, levels, surrounding steps, door positions and the way the completed porch will connect with the house.
A porch may be undertaken as an individual project or incorporated into wider refurbishment and exterior improvement work around the property.
Whether you are looking to create a new enclosed entrance, replace an outdated porch or improve the appearance and practicality of the front of your home, contact General Space Construction to discuss what you would like to achieve.
Complete Porch Construction Services
From initial preparation to glazing and final finishing, we can coordinate the different elements required to create a porch that complements the property and improves the entrance.
Construction of new porch structures designed around the available entrance space, existing property and agreed project requirements.
Preparation and construction work required to create an appropriate foundation and structure for the new porch.
Installation of glazing, doors and enclosed entrance elements according to the agreed porch design and specification.
Roofing, junctions and exterior details designed to create a more protected transition between the property and outside.
Flooring, entrance tiling, external steps and transitions incorporated into the porch and surrounding access area where required.
Electrical alterations, lighting, decorating, sealing and finishing details required to complete the porch interior and exterior.
From the Existing Entrance to a Completed Porch
Porch construction involves more than adding glazing in front of an existing door. The new structure needs to connect carefully with the house, surrounding entrance, ground levels and external finishes.
Before work begins, the available space and existing property need to be assessed. The position of the main entrance, nearby windows, exterior steps, boundaries, drainage and access can all affect the most appropriate design and construction method.
Depending on the project, the porch may require preparation and base work, structural construction, roofing, glazing, door installation, flooring, tiling, electrical alterations and final decoration.
These stages need to be considered together. The glazing and entrance doors must work with the structural openings, the finished floor needs to meet the existing threshold appropriately, and roofing and external junctions need careful detailing.
General Space Construction provides a range of wider refurbishment and property-improvement services, allowing the porch to be coordinated with associated work to entrances, steps, tiling, flooring, electrical installations and decoration.
By approaching the entrance as one complete project, we can consider both the practical purpose of the porch and how the completed structure will complement the existing property.

Why Choose General Space Construction for Porch Construction?
A new porch needs to feel like a considered part of the property rather than an unrelated structure added to the front entrance. The construction, glazing, roofing, flooring, steps and surrounding finishes all need to work together. General Space Construction combines porch building with broader refurbishment and exterior-improvement experience, allowing us to consider both the structure itself and the way it connects with the existing property.

“Peter did the tiling for our ground floor bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. His work was absolutely top-notch — he was meticulous, paid incredible attention to detail, and went the extra mile to make sure the tile patterns were perfectly matched. His pricing was fair, and he was also flexible with our schedule, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We were so pleased with the quality of his work that we asked him to come back to do the tiling for our patio and front garden. We’d highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and detail-oriented tiler.”

“Piotr undertook the tricky task of tiling our porch and we couldn’t be happier. Having been let down by two other tilers, Piotr gave us a very reasonable quote, clearly knew what he was doing, turned up on the date promised and completed the work on time and without any drama. The finish is perfect and the quality of his work cannot be faulted. Thank you Piotr, really appreciate everything you did.”

“Peter is an absolute professional. He has been perfecting his craft for the last 20 years, and so he is not only incredibly quick, but brilliant. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, fitting in our smaller job where he could at a weekend! And he came back to help us finish off our tiny downstairs loo with great grace and kindness. His work is completely beautiful, and second to none, and he is completely brilliant. He is also a really wonderful person to have in your home. I can recommend him absolutely, and we are so delighted with the work that he has done for us. THANK YOU, Peter!”

“Peter did redone my bathroom, very helpful person with attention to detail. A friend recommended him. Far better than others we’ve dealt with before. Had a small issue a month after the work, wasn’t sure if he would come from my experience with previous tradesmen. But came through and sorted it out. Would recommend to others.”

Peter has provided his services and expert tradesman ship twice for me over the past 18 months; once for a shower room and secondly for a bathroom; the former using the big 600×1200 tiles and the latter using 600×300 tiles with added detailing tiles. Peter’s work is exceptional, his attention to detail is outstanding and his patience is of the highest order. Totally trustworthy and a very nice person indeed. His skill and workmanship are second to none and I would have no hesitation in having Peter provide his services again and again…

“ I recently hired Piotr to clean some very old and heavily stained tiles in my home. The job was quite challenging due to the extent of the staining, but Piotr handled it with remarkable professionalism and skill. He was punctual, and took the time to explain everything about the job to me. His expertise produced fantastic results – the tiles look absolutely great now. I would definitely use Piotr’s services again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a tiling specialist. His work exceeded my expectations. ”

Easily the best tiler I’ve ever worked with. He is careful and methodical and the end result is outstanding. He is also very friendly and reliable. An absolute pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using him again. Highly recommended. You won’t regret it.”

“Peter and the General Space Construction team were brilliant. They came to and were prompt, efficient and did a brilliant job. They made some helpful recommendations about trim and groating which was very foreign to me and were very expert and professional. Our kitchen looks great now. I would definately use them again. Thank you”

“We’ve used Peter a number of times and every time and we’ve been impressed by his work. The most recent job being the tiling of an ensuite bathroom which turned out excellently, his expertise and experience is clear to see in his work. An extra thank you for recommending the added design feature of adding the floor tile within the shower niche and also the perfect grout colour to work for the tiles. From our experience, we’d be more than happy to recommend Peter for any tiling requirements, we’ll be sure to use him again. David & Alexia”
