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 goes into a kitchen extension?
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.
- Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

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.
What should Denton 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.

Your questions answered
Do kitchen extensions need planning permission?
They follow the same rules as any single-storey extension. Many in England are permitted development.
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 Denton 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.
