Kitchen extensions in Northumberland

Covering Northumberland

We cover Northumberland, including Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington and Bedlington, and the towns around them.

Because Northumberland covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

Homes in the North East

Housing across the North East ranges from colliery terraces and Tyneside flats to suburban semis and modern estates, each with different options for extending.

What does a kitchen extension involve?

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.

What approvals does a kitchen extension need in England?

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

What can affect a kitchen extension?

Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

Questions about a kitchen extension in Northumberland

Can I use my own kitchen company?

Yes. We work to their drawings and co-ordinate delivery and fitting dates.

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.

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
