Kitchen extensions in Aston

Covering Aston

Aston is about 1 miles north-east of Birmingham. We also cover Birmingham (1 miles to the south-west), Smethwick and Acocks Green.

Homes in the West Midlands

Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.

What is included in a kitchen extension in Aston?

We design the room and the kitchen together, so the island, sink and appliances line up with the structure rather than fighting it. You can use your own kitchen supplier or have us supply and fit one. Either way we co-ordinate the trades so the room is finished in one sequence.

Planning and building rules in Aston

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What should Aston homeowners check first?

Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

Your questions answered

How long will we be without a kitchen?

Usually only the final few weeks, when the old kitchen comes out and the wall is opened. We can help set up a temporary kitchen.

Do kitchen extensions need planning permission?

They follow the same rules as any single-storey extension. Many in England are permitted development.

Can you visit a house in Aston to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
