Verandas 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.

In London a veranda solves the specific problem of the narrow rear garden: cover the patio strip by the doors without giving up light to the kitchen, and the space works in drizzle, which is most of the calendar.

A veranda is the classic way to cover a patio: an aluminium frame against the house with a glass or polycarbonate roof, keeping the rain off without losing the light. It turns the strip outside your back doors into usable space ten months of the year, and it's the natural base for glass sliding doors if you later want the full garden-room effect.

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.

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.

★★★★★Ben LewisOrdered and installed inside a week
Simple ordering process, delivery and installed within the week, very easy to recommend.
★★★★★Sam CreedCarport, Tunbridge Wells
Chose Eden Grove 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.

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
Glass or polycarbonate roof?

Glass looks better, lasts longer and stays clearer; polycarbonate costs less and softens glare. South-facing verandas want ventilation or shading designed in either way, because a glass roof works like a greenhouse in summer.

Glass against polycarbonate, and what it changes

Can a veranda be enclosed later?

Yes. Glass sliding doors and fixed panels retrofit onto the Deponti systems, which is the most common upgrade we fit. Starting open and enclosing later is a sensible way to spread the cost.

How is a veranda different from a pergola?

A veranda is fixed to the house with a solid translucent roof. A pergola can be freestanding and often has an adjustable louvred roof. Which is right depends on whether you want maximum light or maximum control.
