What is included in a kitchen extension in Lancaster?

A kitchen extension is a single-storey extension designed around a new kitchen, usually creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens onto the garden. Planning the kitchen layout at the same time as the building means the drains, steels, windows and power end up where the kitchen needs them.

Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Lancaster?

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 should Lancaster homeowners check first?

Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
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.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

What people ask before starting

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.

Is underfloor heating worth it?

In large open-plan rooms with big glazed doors it frees up wall space and heats evenly. We include it as an option.

Who deals with the council for a project in Lancaster?

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