Carports in London

We come out from Faversham on the A2 and M2, which puts the south-east boroughs within an easy run. Surveys further west and north are batched into the same trip, so there is sometimes a few days' wait for a slot.

Where London parking is off-street it's precious, and a slim aluminium carport protects the car without the planning weight of a garage. Tight frontages suit the wall-mounted formats; the survey settles run-off and fixings.

An aluminium carport is the practical cousin of the veranda: the same engineered frame and roofing, positioned to keep frost off the windscreen and weather off the paintwork. No planning-heavy garage build, no annual maintenance, and the space doubles as covered standing room for bikes, bins and everything else British weather ruins.

The London picture

Planning: London has more conservation areas per square mile than anywhere else we work, and a number of boroughs run Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights altogether. We check the borough's position before quoting rather than after, because in London it is the single thing most likely to change the answer.

How it works

Five steps, and the first one costs nothing.

  1. 01

    Free site survey

    No cost

    Three things decide a carport: whether your drive takes the fixings, where the water goes, and the height you need.

  2. 02

    Size and quote

    9 widths

    Bays, span and projection, sized to your vehicles rather than a catalogue. A wide opening with no centre post costs more.

  3. 03

    Built to order

    3 colours

    150 x 150mm posts, made to the surveyed sizes and powder-coated in one of three RAL colours.

  4. 04

    Installed

    Fitted by us

    Posts fixed, roof sealed, LED lighting wired in and the drive left clean.

  5. 05

    Accredited frames

    BS EN1090

    BS EN1090 accredited frames. Ask us what the manufacturer warranty covers before you order.

What customers actually said

Quoted word for word from our Google Business Profile, with the job each one was. Names included because they are already public there.

★★★★★Sam CreedCarport, Tunbridge Wells
Chose Eden Grove for our carport in Tunbridge Wells because they're accredited installers and the build quality clearly justified it. No pressure, every question answered, and the powder-coated finish looks high-end. Added real value to the house. Brilliant.
★★★★★Ben LewisOrdered and installed inside a week
Simple ordering process, delivery and installed within the week, very easy to recommend.

Want yours priced properly?

The survey is free and settles the three things that decide the job: ground fixings, water run-off and height. No obligation either way.

The detail

The ranges we fit
Do I need planning permission for a carport?

Usually not; most fall under permitted development within the standard height limits. Forward-of-the-house positions and conservation areas need checking, which we do at the survey.

Carports and permitted development, in plain English

Can it fix to my existing driveway?

Usually. Posts need sound fixings, and the survey confirms whether your drive surface can take them or whether pads are needed.

What is the roof made of?

It depends on the range. The Pinela system is roofed in steel with an anti-condensation layer, which is what stops drips landing on the car on cold mornings. Polycarbonate and glass suit carports doubling as entrance canopies, where light matters more than insulation. The survey settles which one fits your drive.
