Pembrokeshire is a county of rendered stone cottages, coastal second homes and exposed weather conditions. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood porch has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For hardwood porches in Pembrokeshire we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Hardwood Porches in Pembrokeshire — common questions
Does the frame need treating?
Oak does not. It will silver over a few years and that is the intended finish. Other species need a finish appropriate to their durability class.
Green oak or dried timber?
Green oak for a traditional framed porch — it is worked wet and moves as it seasons, which is expected and part of the look. Kiln-dried or accoya where the porch is enclosed and the movement would matter.
Can a porch be enclosed and glazed?
Yes. Once it is enclosed it becomes a small building — the glazing, the threshold and sometimes the thermal detail all need thinking through, and permitted development limits apply more tightly.
How long does it take?
Seven to ten weeks. Framing is fast; the base and the roof covering are usually what set the programme, and they involve other trades.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
