Kitchen extensions in Greater Manchester

Covering Greater Manchester

We cover Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Oldham, Wigan and Bolton, and the towns around them.

Homes in the North West

Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.

What goes into 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.

How much should I budget for a kitchen extension?

What kitchen extensions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

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.

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.

What are the steps?

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.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
