Glass verandas in Corby
Corby's housing is mostly post-war and modern: the New Town estates built for steelworkers at Kingswood, Lodge Park, Beanfield and Danesholme, and now the large Priors Hall Park development in the north east. These houses have straightforward brick back walls, which suit a veranda well. The aluminium frame fixes along the wall on a proper plate with flashing above it, the posts stand at the front, and the glass roof falls gently to a gutter built into the beam.
The usual reason people ask is simple: the back garden gets used for a few weeks a year and they want more from it. A veranda gives a dry place for a table outside the back doors without making the kitchen dark, and side screens, LED lighting or heaters can be added to suit. We work across Corby and its older villages too, including Corby Village, Great Oakley, Gretton, Cottingham, Rockingham and East Carlton.
What makes Corby different
Corby sits on the Northampton Sand ironstone that fed the steelworks, and large areas around the town were opencast quarried and restored. Under one garden you can find natural ironstone at one end and clay or fill at the other. A veranda's posts carry the outer edge of the roof, so each footing has to reach ground that will not settle. We dig at the post positions, look at what comes out, and design the footing depth and the downpipe route from that.
A typical Corby job is a 4m × 3m veranda across the back of a New Town semi or a newer Priors Hall Park house, over an existing patio or a new one laid at the same time. It involves footings at each post, a wall plate and flashing into the brickwork, a glass roof and a downpipe. Near the Willow Brook, the water route gets extra attention.

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.
