Covering Blackpool
We work in Blackpool (FY1) and the places around it, including Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What does a kitchen extension involve?
A kitchen extension is a single-storey extension designed around a new kitchen, usually creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens onto the garden. Planning the kitchen layout at the same time as the building means the drains, steels, windows and power end up where the kitchen needs them.
- Planning or permitted development check
- Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
How much does a kitchen extension cost in Blackpool?

What approvals does a kitchen extension need in England?
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 affect a kitchen extension?
- 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.
From first call to completion
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
The build is usually £2,600 to £4,000 per square metre including VAT, and the kitchen adds roughly £10,000 to £40,000 depending on the units, worktops and appliances.
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.
Who deals with the council for a project in Blackpool?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
