Kitchen extensions in Taunton

Covering Taunton

We work in Taunton (TA1) and the places around it, including Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and Tiverton.

Homes in the South West

In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.

What is included in a kitchen extension in Taunton?

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.

How is a kitchen extension approved in Taunton?

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. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What can affect a kitchen extension?

Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.

Questions about a kitchen extension in Taunton

How much does a kitchen extension cost?

The build is usually £2,600 to £4,000 per square metre including VAT, and the kitchen adds roughly £10,000 to £40,000 depending on the units, worktops and appliances.

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.
