Glass verandas in Weldon
Glass verandas for Weldon's stone houses and the newer estates that join it to Corby, built on footings designed for the village's quarried ground.
A 4m × 3m aluminium and glass veranda in Weldon 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, and the fixed price comes in writing after the visit. The main local issue is ground: Weldon was quarried for centuries, so rock, clay and fill can all turn up in one garden.

Glass verandas in Weldon
Weldon is famous for Weldon stone, the limestone quarried here for centuries, and its historic centre is built of it. Around that centre, later estates now join the village to Corby. Between them, the houses we fit verandas to range from old stone homes in the conservation area to modern brick semis and detached houses, and each needs the wall plate fixing and the frame proportions worked out for that particular building.
On the estates, the brief is usually a covered patio outside the back doors that makes the garden worth using on a damp evening. In the stone centre, it is more often a matter of fitting something modern behind an old house without it shouting. Both get the same powder-coated aluminium frame, a glass or polycarbonate roof and a built-in gutter. We also cover Great Oakley, Little Oakley, Deene, Brigstock and Stanion, with Corby and Kettering close by.
What makes Weldon different
Weldon sits over the limestone and ironstone that were quarried here, and ground can change from natural rock to clay or fill within a garden. That is exactly what a veranda footing has to cope with, because each post must stand on something that will not settle. We dig at the post positions to see what is there. The Willow Brook runs past the village, where the Environment Agency operates the Weldon flood storage reservoir, so the downpipe route is designed rather than assumed.
A typical Weldon veranda is a 4m × 3m frame over a patio behind an estate house on the Corby side of the village, or fitted behind a stone house in the old centre. It involves footings dug to suit the ground found, a wall plate and flashing into brick or stone, a glass or polycarbonate roof, and a downpipe to a soakaway or drain.

Permissions in Weldon
- 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 Weldon 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.
