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.

What approvals does a kitchen extension need in England?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 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?

Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.

Your questions answered

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.

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.
