Covering St Austell
We work in St Austell (PL25) and the places around it, including Bodmin, Truro and Falmouth.
Projects in Cornwall are taken on by arrangement, and any travel and accommodation costs for the team are shown openly in the quote.
Homes in the South West
The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.
What goes into 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.
- Planning or permitted development check
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

How is a kitchen extension approved in St Austell?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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 can change the price or programme?
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
- Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
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.
Can you visit a house in St Austell 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.
