Kitchen extensions in South Glamorgan

Covering South Glamorgan

We cover South Glamorgan, including Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major, and the towns around them.

Homes in South Glamorgan

Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.

What is a kitchen extension?

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.

Planning and building rules in South Glamorgan

Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.

Wales has its own permitted development rules, set by the Welsh Government. Small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application, but the limits differ from England's and there is no larger-extension prior approval route, so we check the current Welsh rules for your house before drawings are finalised.

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.

Kitchen extensions: common questions

Can I use my own kitchen company?

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

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.

Who deals with the council for a project in South Glamorgan?

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