What is a porch?
A porch is a room that stands at the front of a house. They are generally used as a space to remove footwear and jackets, or leave umbrellas to dry when coming in from the rain.
Porches will keep you from tracking dirt and other outside elements into the house. They're also useful for drying off pets after rainy days or muddy walks.

Operational Excellence
Our porches are designed to protect against the outside elements. We can incorporate any specific ideas you may have and can tailor custom design work to your needs and fit in with the appearance of your home.
Perhaps you're in need of a bench to sit on when taking off footwear, or could make use of shelves for shoes and pegs for coats and umbrellas.
Our team are highly skilled tradespeople, adept and qualified to undertake construction projects, as accredited by City & Guilds and NVQ.
Our professionals have spent years designing and creating porches to suit the needs of our clients. We aim to craft to individual requirements, meaning each porch is unique to the house it has been made for.
If you have your own ideas for how your porch should be designed, our staff will work with you to achieve your vision as best as possible.
Over the years Sam has replaced the stair banister rails and spindles from a cheap painted pine to solid oak. He has fully replaced our kitchen, and all the doors in the house from standard panel doors to oak doors.
We have always found Sam and Vic to be polite, professional and courteous and a pleasure to have around.
The quality of work that they produce is second to none, so I would not hesitate to recommend Sam and his team.

He has worked closely with us throughout the renovation process. He engaged in conversation with us at different stages, understanding our specific needs and incorporated our ideas into the project. He is particularly capable in mapping out workable solutions and managing the complex logistics. His vast variety of skillsets and knowledge in smart home systems helped to transform our living space and enhance the quality of everyday operations. With Sam’s experience and vision, he has improved our spatial layout, overall ambience, and increased energy efficiency in our home.
His proactive thinking mindset, trusted reputation, commitment to customer service and attention to detail has driven our project to meet our high standards. If you are thinking of renovation or a total transformation of your home, we highly recommend Sam. He is a professional and trustworthy person who delivers outstanding service with passion and consistency.

A little while later we decided it was about time we had a second loo (growing family: grandchildren!). Naturally we thought of Sam & Co so they came round to look at the “site”. The choice was between inside the garage or, at the other extreme, behind the extension-block. After some walking round and chatting Sam went away to work on it. In a short time he came back with ideas and a list of pros-and-cons. We chewed them over and decided on the “inside the garage” option. It was soon started and before long we had our “room within a room”. Sam arranged for all the “other disciplines” people to make their contributions at the appropriate times (plumber and drainage before electrician, e.g.). The finishing touches, like the tiling surround of the sink, the heated towel rail, the ceiling-mounted fan heater, were all attended to with due discussion and execution (some last-minute adjustments going very smoothly). We had arranged that we would finish off by doing the painting ourselves, so the fact that the copper pipes are still bare has nothing to do with Team Calico. The final sign-off was simple and on schedule.
Another job that they did for us was renovating the doors upstairs. That involved cleaning, smoothing and painting. That all went off totally efficiently and expertly done.
All in all we were very pleased with the friendly attitude, wealth of ideas at the design stage, expert execution, helpful and considerate conduct (everything was left clean and tidy at the end of each day) throughout the jobs.

Sam and his team at Calico have completed several pieces of work for my Wife and I: -
New double plug fitted instead of a single plug in the lounge and dining room
Replaced the conservatory lights with newer ones
Additional light switch in the garage
TV bracket fitted in the conservatory, wires chased out and made good
Tap replaced in the kitchen
Replaced en-suite sink push waste
Easing of the en-suite door
Replacing of the skirting and windowsill in the en-suite
All these jobs required varying skills; as per the other work Sam has carried out for me I cannot thank him enough for doing a fantastic job, the work was on time, to the quoted price and I was kept informed regularly of the progress made.
I have several larger Projects, which I am getting Sam to quote and carry out.
We aim to keep our online portfolio of projects up to date in the hope our completed projects speak for themselves.
Whether you are a homeowner, investment or management agent, we treat every customer with the same level of commitment and every project with the same passion for perfection. We hope you find this evident in our portfolio provided for your review.
We know reputation matters. With experience in all areas of construction, every aspect of our projects are completed to the same high standards for complete peace of mind.
