Homes in London
Much of London’s housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which is why side return extensions, rear dormers and mansards are so common. Many streets are in conservation areas, and several boroughs use Article 4 directions that remove some permitted development rights.
What do you get with a kitchen extension?
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.
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

Planning and building rules in Northolt
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 affect a kitchen extension?
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
- Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
What happens after I enquire?
- 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.
Questions about a kitchen extension in Northolt

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

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