Covering Redcar
Alongside Redcar, we also cover Middlesbrough, Hartlepool (8 miles to the north-west) and Billingham.
Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Stone-built terraces are typical of many West Yorkshire towns, while red brick dominates in Hull and much of South Yorkshire, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension here.
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.
- Combined building and kitchen layout design
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
What is the guide price for a kitchen extension in Redcar?

What approvals does a kitchen extension need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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?
- 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?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
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.
Do kitchen extensions need planning permission?
They follow the same rules as any single-storey extension. Many in England are permitted development.
Who deals with the council for a project in Redcar?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
