Planning permission?

Usually permitted development; conservation areas may need permission

How long does it take?

2–5 days typical, plus design and approvals time beforehand.

DIY vs Professional

Difficulty: Pro required. UK building regulations and Part P/Gas Safe rules mean most of this work must be done by registered professionals. Even where DIY is permitted, paying a pro is usually faster and more reliable.

How to save money

Anchor to the wall where possible — looks tidier and is cheaper than free-standing
Always choose a powder-coated aluminium frame for UK weather
Glass roofs need annual cleaning — factor in maintenance
Order side blinds with the original install — retrofit is more expensive
Use a recognised installer (FENSA / Verandair-certified) for warranty

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for a veranda?

Most verandas are permitted development if attached at the back, under 3 m high, and within 50 % of the garden’s area. Front-of-house verandas usually need permission. Always check with your local council.

Is a veranda waterproof?

Yes — modern aluminium and glass-roof verandas have integrated guttering and downpipes. Side panels keep most rain off in moderate wind.
