in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
My overhead porch has a large hole in in I suspect its rotten was thinking of just removing it and replacing with upvc cladding to match the rest. Can anyone give me any idea who I would be best contacting to get this done and what sort of price I can expect to pay?

many thanks

    do you mean this style?
    if so, then a complete fibreglass porch is about 150 quid off ebay.
    fitting is simple enough. handyman about 50/100 quid.

    cant the old one be repaired?

    Any competent handyman should be able to do it.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
