Adding a patio awning is one of the most effective ways to extend your living space, but prices can vary wildly. You might see DIY kits for £300 online, while a neighbour pays £5,000 for a premium installation.
This guide breaks down exactly what you get for your money at each price point, helping you budget specifically for your project in Bristol, Cardiff, or the South West.
Awning Price List by Type
| Awning Type | Estimated Cost (Fitted) | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-Level Manual | £800 - £1,200 | Open cassette, manual crank, basic fabric |
| Mid-Range Electric | £1,800 - £2,800 | Semi-cassette, motorised, remote control |
| Premium Full Cassette | £3,000 - £5,500 | Full enclosure, wind sensors, LED lights, premium acrylic |
| Glass Veranda | £6,000 - £12,000+ | Permanent structure, glass roof, year-round use |
What Affects the Price?
- Cassette Type: A "Full Cassette" completely encloses the fabric and arms when retracted, protecting them from UK weather. This costs 20-30% more than an "Open" or "Semi" cassette but doubles the lifespan of the fabric.
- Fabric Quality: Cheap awnings use polyester which fades in 2 years. Premium brands (Markilux, Weinor) use "solution-dyed acrylic" which stays vibrant for 10+ years.
- Motorisation: Adding a Somfy motor usually adds £300-£500 to the bill, plus the cost of an electrician (approx £150-£250) to run a fused spur to the outside.
- Installation Complexity: Fitting to a standard brick wall is standard. Fitting to a bungalow (soffit brackets), single-storey extension (spreader plates), or through external insulation will add £200-£500 in bracketry and labour.
