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
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish
How much should I budget for a kitchen extension?
Typical ranges for kitchen extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Kitchen extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Extension build | £2,600 to £4,000 per m² |
| Kitchen supply and fit, mid-range | £10,000 to £20,000 |
| Kitchen supply and fit, high-end | £20,000 to £40,000 |
Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Bude?
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.
What should Bude homeowners check first?
- Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
- Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
What people ask before starting
Can I use my own kitchen company?
Yes. We work to their drawings and co-ordinate delivery and fitting dates.
Is underfloor heating worth it?
In large open-plan rooms with big glazed doors it frees up wall space and heats evenly. We include it as an option.
Can you visit a house in Bude 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.
