What is included in a kitchen extension in Portrush?
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.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
What will a kitchen extension cost?
Typical ranges for kitchen extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Kitchen extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Extension build | £2,600 to £4,000 per m² |
| Kitchen supply and fit, mid-range | £10,000 to £20,000 |
| Kitchen supply and fit, high-end | £20,000 to £40,000 |
Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Portrush?
Projects in Northern Ireland need planning clearance from one of the eleven councils and building control approval, also from the council. The Party Wall etc. Act does not extend to Northern Ireland, so work near neighbours is agreed directly and documented carefully.
In Northern Ireland permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application. Building control approval from the council is still needed.
What should I think about before starting?
- Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
- Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
Questions about a kitchen extension in Portrush
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.
Can you visit a house in Portrush to quote?
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.
