Covering Folkestone
We work in Folkestone (CT19) and the places around it, including Dover, Ashford and Deal.
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 is included in a kitchen extension in Folkestone?
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
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish
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.
| 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 Folkestone?
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.
What can affect a kitchen extension?
- Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
- Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- 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.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
The build is usually £2,600 to £4,000 per square metre including VAT, and the kitchen adds roughly £10,000 to £40,000 depending on the units, worktops and appliances.
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.
