I just want a timber porch!

As I have a dog now, I would really like to add a porch to the front of the house, more as a safety thing, so she can't dash out if one of the kids leaves the door ajar.
We are constrained by having a shared access drive which my front door opens onto..so need a slim (depth wise) porch..would like enclosed and preferably wood.
I did look at PVC but had a local quote which was absolutely ridiculous for what it was, and not very attractive, so would much rather go with oak. I have seen some that come in kit, self build form, but if anyone has any recommendations for someone who can build me a wooden porch.. please share (either Oxfordshire area or similar)

Can't help you but do check if you need planning for changes to the front of your house no matter how small.

Personally I'm surprised if oak comes in cheaper than PVC but I'm with you, it'd look so much nicer. I 2nd what the above poster says about checking with the council. They can get quite sniffy about stuff that faces the street.
