Aluminium and glass verandas in Corby, fixed to the house properly so you can sit out whatever the weather.
A 4m × 3m aluminium and glass veranda typically costs £9,000–£14,000 supplied and fitted, and a 6m × 3m £15,000–£22,000. Side screens, lighting and heaters are priced on top.

Glass verandas in Corby: what is involved
A veranda is an aluminium-framed roof fixed to the back wall of the house, with clear glass or polycarbonate panels and a built-in gutter, so you can sit out in the rain and the kitchen still gets its light.
Corby grew as a steel town: a New Town designated in 1950, with estates such as Kingswood, Lodge Park, Beanfield and Danesholme built for steelworkers, around the older villages of Corby Village, Great Oakley and Weldon. Priors Hall Park in the north east is planned for more than 5,000 homes, and many of its gardens are handed over as bare, compacted plots.
We cover Corby (NN17 and NN18) and the villages around it, including Weldon, Great Oakley, Corby Village, Gretton, Cottingham, Middleton, Rockingham, Stanion and East Carlton.
Ground and conservation in Corby
Corby sits on the Northampton Sand ironstone that fed the steelworks, and large areas around the town were opencast quarried and restored. Ground can change from natural ironstone to clay or fill within a garden, so we dig before we design the base and drainage. Ground in Corby can change within a single garden, so we dig the first post hole as a trial and set the depth of every footing from what we find.
Corby has nine conservation areas, including the Old Village, Cottingham and Middleton, Gretton, Rockingham, Stanion, Great Oakley and Weldon. Its only Article 4 direction (Kingswood) controls houses in multiple occupation and does not affect driveways, porches or extensions.

Permissions in Corby
- PlanningA veranda fixed to the house is treated like a single storey rear extension: usually permitted development if it stays within the extension depth and height limits, does not face a road and is not on a listed house. Open-sided verandas under 30m² are usually exempt from building regulations. Listed buildings and the Corby conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: extensions
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. North Northamptonshire: tree protection
- Building regulationsAn open-sided veranda under 30m² is usually exempt. Closing it in with glass walls can change that, so we check with North Northamptonshire Council building control first.
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
