Covering Bedford

Homes in the East of England
The East of England has a large stock of post-war and modern estate housing alongside period homes in market towns, which makes garage conversions, single-storey extensions and loft conversions popular.
What is included in a kitchen extension in Bedford?
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.
- Combined building and kitchen layout design
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

Planning and building rules in Bedford
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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 can change the price or programme?
- Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
Can I use my own kitchen company?
Yes. We work to their drawings and co-ordinate delivery and fitting dates.
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.
Can you visit a house in Bedford 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.
