Kitchen extensions in Stowmarket

Covering Stowmarket

We work in Stowmarket (IP14) and the places around it, including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Diss.

Homes in the East of England

Across the East of England, newer estates often have integral garages and room for rear extensions, while older towns have Victorian terraces and conservation areas that shape what can be built.

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.

What is the guide price for a kitchen extension in Stowmarket?

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

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 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.

What are the steps?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
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.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
