Kitchen extensions in Dover

Covering Dover

Dover sits 36 miles east of Maidstone, with Folkestone 7 miles to the south-west and Deal 8 miles to the north-east.

Homes in the South East

Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.

What does a kitchen extension involve?

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.

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

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 change the price or programme?

Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

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.
