    Porch builders in Caithness: Homeowners vs renters

    Homeowners

    • You’re responsible for the project, including planning permission (if needed) and costs.
    • Most small porches don’t need permission if under 3m² and within certain height limits, but always check with your local authority.

    Renters

    • Porch installation usually isn’t your responsibility.
    • Any upgrades or extensions must be agreed with your landlord or managing agent.
    • If repairs to an existing porch are needed, report them directly to the property owner.
