Covering Hartlepool
Hartlepool sits 18 miles north-east of Darlington, with Billingham 7 miles to the south-west and Middlesbrough 8 miles to the south.
Homes in the North East
The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.
What do you get with 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.
- Combined building and kitchen layout design
- Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances

Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Hartlepool?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 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 change the price or programme?
- Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.

- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
