Glass verandas in Kettering
Aluminium and glass verandas in Kettering, 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 Kettering: 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.
Kettering has Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas close to the centre and along the Headlands, interwar and post-war estates, Barton Seagrave to the south east, and Hanwood Park on the east side, planned for up to 5,500 homes.
We cover Kettering (NN15 and NN16) and the villages around it, including Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Geddington, Broughton, Cransley, Pytchley, Rothwell, Desborough and Mawsley.
Ground and conservation in Kettering
Ground around Kettering ranges from ironstone to clay, and new-build plots are often compacted subsoil under a thin layer of topsoil. We check what is under each garden before choosing the base and the drainage. Ground in Kettering 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.
Kettering has 26 conservation areas, including the town centre, Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Geddington and Rothwell. Its Article 4 directions are site-specific, mostly older ones covering individual streets or buildings, so we check your address before designing anything that faces the road.

Permissions in Kettering
- 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 Kettering 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.
