Glass verandas in Uppingham
Uppingham is built on a hill, and that shapes almost every veranda we plan here. A frame fixed level to the back wall can end up with one post far taller than another, and a gutter that has to discharge on the downhill side. None of this is a problem if it is drawn up properly before anything is ordered. The aluminium frame is made to measure, so posts, beams and roof fall are set to your ground rather than to a standard kit.
Around the High Street and the Market Place, many houses have a rear courtyard rather than a garden, and a veranda can turn a small walled yard into a dry room outside the kitchen. On the Victorian and interwar roads out of town and the later estates to the north and east, gardens are larger and the brief is more often a covered dining area off the back doors. We cover Uppingham and the villages around it, including Lyddington, Seaton, Glaston, Wing and Morcott.
What makes Uppingham different
Uppingham stands on the Northampton Sand ironstone, which usually drains better than the Vale clay around Oakham but varies within a single street, so we dig at each post position rather than assume. The town's slopes push surface water downhill, which means the downpipe must lead somewhere sensible, not towards a neighbour's wall or back to your own door threshold. Where the house is old ironstone or limestone, we fix the wall plate into sound stone and dress the flashing into a mortar joint so rain cannot track behind it.
A typical Uppingham veranda covers a walled rear courtyard or the first strip of a sloping garden behind a stone or interwar brick house. It often needs posts of different heights to cope with the fall, a wall plate fixed into older masonry, and a downpipe taken to the lower side of the plot. Polycarbonate is sometimes the better roof where the frame spans a narrow yard and a lighter panel helps.

Permissions in Uppingham
- 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 Uppingham 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. 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.
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
