How much do Porches cost?

Tesco_points_addict

OK i know that question is a bit like how long is a piece of string but i've really no idea! We would like a porch to house our coats, smelly dog stuff etc. when we return from walks, but i have no idea how much these things cost. I would hate to waste somones time asking for a quote and not nearly be able to afford it!

I recently was quoted (as a ball park figure only) between £6 - £8 thousand pounds for a small porch. Not very definitive but might give you a slight idea? I have a feeling there will be cheaper out there though.

nearly as much as a conservatory!
from 1500 to 3000 quid. diy price.

Awww err 6 - 8k thought I could get a full conservatory for that! Glad I asked here or i would have looked like a goldfish gorping at the sales man! x

ps
a new porsche is about 34000 quid, minimum.

Ok another question then, we have space in our side return for a smallish extension, would prob. only do single story - 1 to 1 and half rooms, any ideas on rough price for single and double story?

depends where you live?
big variation on builders cost from here in the NW to london prices.

I think as a rough guide single extensions are about £1,000 per square meter.

So 5 x4 meters is 20 meters = £20,000.

But I could be wrong

Better saving the porch money and having an extension, maybe..... howabout story?
You guys are so great thank you x

im seriously thinking of buying that diy porch.
ive already done the base, just havent got the dosh for the actual porch yet.

but my FIL has just had a fairly decent inheritance left him. so with some luck i might be able to borrow an interest free loan?
my house is up for sale and i reckon the porch will be a nice selling point?

Would it add on enough though if you are selling?
