Kitchen extensions in Bristol

Homeowners across Bristol can get kitchen extensions from one company: the design, the council approvals and the building work.

Covering Bristol

We cover homes across Bristol, planned from survey to sign-off.

Homes in the South West

In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.

What do you get with a kitchen extension?

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.

  • Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
  • Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
  • Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances

Planning and building rules in Bristol

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 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.

What are the steps?

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  2. We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
  3. Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
  4. 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.

Yes. Bristol is within our coverage for kitchen extensions, along with nearby Bristol and Bristol.
