Kitchen extensions in Hinckley

We take on kitchen extensions in Hinckley as a complete project: survey, drawings, planning or permitted development checks, building control and the construction itself.

Covering Hinckley

We work in Hinckley (LE10) and the places around it, including Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry.

Homes in the East Midlands

Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, with stone-built villages in some areas where conservation controls apply.

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.

  • Planning or permitted development check

Planning and building rules in Hinckley

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.
  • Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

What are the steps?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
  3. Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
  4. 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 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.

Do kitchen extensions need planning permission?

They follow the same rules as any single-storey extension. Many in England are permitted development.
