Enclose porch

Posted 1 month ago

I recently bought a house which has a small open landing porch at my main door, but it would be much more useful if someone was able to enclose it by extending the sides and putting some sort of roofing over it. Looking for ideas and quotes. No time frame, but of course it will be most beneficial with it being winter now and the porch is quite slippery as it never dries out properly in winter. The wee awning there at the moment does nothing. Thanks 😁
