Kitchen extensions in Oxford

Kitchen extensions in Oxford from SK Residential: design, approvals and the build handled under one contract, with one point of contact from the first visit to completion.

Covering Oxford

Alongside Oxford, we also cover Abingdon (6 miles to the south), Didcot and Witney.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

What is included in a kitchen extension in Oxford?

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
  • Planning or permitted development check
  • Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation

Planning and building rules in Oxford

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 should I think about before starting?

  • 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.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  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. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
