Kitchen extensions in Halifax

Covering Halifax

Alongside Halifax, we also cover Brighouse, Huddersfield (5 miles to the south-east) and Cleckheaton.

Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber

Across Yorkshire and the Humber, older stone and brick terraces sit alongside inter-war semis and newer estates, and dormers and rear extensions are designed to suit each.

What is included in a kitchen extension in Halifax?

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 is a kitchen extension approved in Halifax?

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. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What should Halifax homeowners check first?

Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

How does the project run?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

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.

Who deals with the council for a project in Halifax?

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