Every oak porch is designed with the individual property in mind, considering proportions, roof form, and how the structure frames the front door or entrance. We take into account details such as approach, steps, and surrounding walls so the oak framed porch looks like it has always belonged there.
By carefully balancing height, width, and detailing, we aim to create entrances that feel inviting and well integrated, rather than like an afterthought added to the façade.

An oak porch provides useful shelter from the weather at your doorway, but it can also transform the look of the front of your home. Oak porches work well with both traditional and more contemporary properties, bringing warmth and texture while remaining understated.
Used thoughtfully, an oak porch can help define the main entrance, give a sense of depth to a flat front elevation, and create a more considered approach to the house.
If you are considering different oak porch ideas, we can help you think through options and help you settle on an option you feel suits your property best. The aim is always to achieve a design that you're happy with and uses the space in the best way for you.
Our design team can prepare clear drawings so you can see how your chosen oak framed porch will look in place, making it easier to refine proportions and details before any work begins.

With longstanding experience across Kent and Sussex, we are familiar with the variety of building styles found in towns, villages, and rural settings. This helps us design oak porches that sit comfortably alongside local architecture and nearby properties.
Where needed, we can also offer guidance on planning considerations or any conservation sensitivities that might apply, helping your project move forward with confidence.
1. Initial Discussion
We begin by talking through your ideas, how you use your entrance, and what you’d like an oak porch to achieve for your home.
2. Site Visit & Assessment
A visit to your property allows us to review access, levels, and existing features, helping us shape suitable options for size and placement.
3. Design & Drawings
We prepare design proposals and drawings so you can see how the oak framed porch will look against the existing façade and make any adjustments needed.
4. Planning & Permissions
If planning or other permissions are required, we can help you understand what may be needed and provide supporting drawings or information.
5. Construction & Installation
Once the design is agreed, the porch is carefully constructed and installed, with attention to detail at every stage of the work.
6. Final Checks & Guidance
On completion, we carry out final checks and can provide general guidance on looking after your new oak porch over time.
