Glass verandas in Langham
Aluminium and glass verandas in Langham, 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 Langham: 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.
Langham is a large village just north west of Oakham, long known as the home of Ruddles brewery, with ironstone and limestone houses in the centre and later housing around it. Plots are often generous enough for sweeping drives and full rear gardens.
We cover Langham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Barleythorpe, Ashwell, Whissendine, Cold Overton and Knossington.
Ground and conservation in Langham
Langham sits on the edge of the Vale of Catmose clay, where water drains slowly, and its brook has a history of exceeding its bank capacity. Base depth and drainage decide most designs here. On the clay around Langham, which shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters, posts and pads go deeper and sit in concrete below the movement, so they stay plumb.
Langham has a conservation area with an Article 4 direction. Rutland's Article 4 directions can cover front walls, gates and fences, parking spaces, porches and roofs, so we check the Langham direction before designing anything facing the road.

Permissions in Langham
- 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. Langham's Article 4 direction brings some work facing a road, footpath or open space under planning control, so we check it against your address first. Planning Portal: extensions
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Rutland County Council: tree works
- Building regulationsAn open-sided veranda under 30m² is usually exempt. Closing it in with glass walls can change that, so we check with Leicestershire Building Control Partnership (LBCP) first.
