Kitchen extensions in Chester-le-Street

Covering Chester-le-Street

Chester-le-Street sits 23 miles north of Darlington, with Washington 4 miles to the north-east and Houghton-le-Spring 5 miles to the east.

Homes in the North East

In the North East, terraces, semis and bungalows all offer room to extend, with stone-built villages and conservation areas in parts of County Durham and Northumberland.

What is 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.

Planning and building rules in Chester-le-Street

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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 change the price or programme?

Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.
