One of the first questions homeowners in Northern Ireland ask is simple: how much does a veranda cost? The honest answer is that it depends on size, roof type and finish, but you can still get a clear sense of the figures before you ask for a quote. Here is a practical guide to veranda pricing in Northern Ireland for 2026.
What affects the price of a veranda?
- Size: the larger the span and projection, the more frame and roofing material is needed.
- Roof type: a glass roof costs more than a polycarbonate roof, and a louvered or folding roof sits at the top of the range.
- Glass options: toughened glass, laminated glass and self cleaning coatings change the price.
- Extras: integrated LED lighting, heating, sliding glass doors and side screens all add to the total.
- Installation: wall type, ground conditions and access on the day affect labour.
Typical veranda price ranges in Northern Ireland
As a rough guide, a compact aluminium veranda with a polycarbonate roof starts at the lower end, a mid sized glass roof veranda sits in the middle, and a large veranda with a louvered or folding roof and extras like lighting and glass doors reaches the upper end. Because every home and garden is different, the most accurate way to price your project is a measured quote. You can compare roof styles on our glass verandas and folding roof verandas pages.
An example: our most popular veranda
Supply only, including VAT and delivery; fitting is quoted after a site survey. Enclosed means glass sliding doors across the front and one side, with a half aluminium, half polycarbonate wall on the other side. Bigger sizes, a glass roof and extras add to these figures, and every project is quoted individually after measuring.
Is a veranda worth the money?
A veranda adds usable living space without the cost of a full extension, and it protects your patio doors and back wall from the weather. For many homeowners it also adds kerb appeal and makes the garden usable for far more of the year, which is where the value really shows in the Northern Irish climate.
Do you need planning permission?
Many rear verandas in Northern Ireland fall within permitted development, but size, height and position matter, and listed buildings and conservation areas have their own rules. We check this with you before anything is ordered, and we recommend confirming with your council’s planning office if you are unsure.
How to get an accurate quote
Measure the width you have to work with, decide roughly how far out you want the roof to project, and think about whether you want a glass or polycarbonate roof. Then use our veranda configurator to set size and finish, or contact us for a free, no obligation quote. You can also explore our core range on the aluminium verandas page, or see them in person at our Ballymoney showroom.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a veranda cost in Northern Ireland?

A compact polycarbonate roof veranda costs the least, a glass roof veranda sits in the mid range, and a large louvered or folding roof veranda with extras costs more.

Which costs less, a glass roof or a polycarbonate roof?
A polycarbonate roof usually costs less than a glass roof. Glass costs more but gives a clearer view and a brighter, more open feel, which many homeowners prefer.
Does a veranda add value to a home?
A veranda adds usable outdoor living space and kerb appeal for a fraction of the cost of an extension, and it makes the garden usable for more of the year, which buyers in Northern Ireland value.
