Kitchen extensions in Falmouth

Covering Falmouth

Falmouth sits 8 miles south of Truro, with Truro 8 miles to the north and Redruth 9 miles to the north-west.

Because Cornwall covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

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 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.

What will a kitchen extension cost?

Typical ranges for kitchen extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

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

How is a kitchen extension approved in Falmouth?

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 I think about before starting?

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

What happens after I enquire?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Who deals with the council for a project in Falmouth?

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
