House, Kitchen Extensions

Our house extensions can save you money

On average, it is £1,500 cheaper per square metre to increase the ground space of your existing home, rather than moving to a property with a floor area comparable to the house plus its finished extension. And by extending a home you already know, you can turn your property into the house you’ve always wanted. You won’t just save money on upsizing: you’ll keep everything you already love about the place you live in already.

Why go through the stress of moving when you can enhance your living space with a house extension? Whether you're dreaming of a modern kitchen extension or need extra room for a growing family, a tailored extension seamlessly integrates with your current home layout, offering a flexible, personalized solution.

Are you dreaming of more space in your home, but dreading the thought of moving? You're not alone. Many homeowners feel their needs and lifestyle have outgrown the confines of their current living space. Yet, few relish the idea of uprooting their lives for a new location. Enter the kitchen extension—a brilliant solution that adds space, value, and a fresh new look to your cherished home.

Increased Space Without Moving

One of the main advantages of a kitchen extension is the ability to increase your home's space without having to move. Whether your family is growing, you love entertaining, or you simply crave more room to spread out, a kitchen extension can provide the additional space you need. Imagine having an open kitchen-dining area where you can host gatherings or a spacious kitchen island that becomes the heart of your home.

Added Value to Your Property

A well-executed kitchen extension doesn’t just bring immediate benefits; it also adds significant value to your property. Homes with spacious, modern kitchens often attract attention in the real estate market. A thoughtfully designed extension can make your home more appealing to potential buyers, should you decide to sell in the future.

Enhanced Functionality

With more space comes more possibilities for functionality and design. A kitchen extension can allow you to add features you've always wanted, such as a larger pantry, additional storage, or high-end appliances. It also provides an opportunity to create a harmonious flow between your indoor and outdoor spaces—imagine opening up to a patio or garden through elegant bi-fold doors.

Customised to Your Lifestyle

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of a kitchen extension is the ability to customize the space to fit your specific lifestyle needs. Whether it’s a cozy breakfast nook, a sleek modern design, or a rustic farmhouse vibe, the extension can be tailored to reflect your personal taste and functional requirements.

Planning Your Kitchen Extension

Setting a Budget

The first step in planning your kitchen extension is setting a realistic budget. Consider not just construction costs, but also design fees, permits, and potential furnishings. Remember that while a kitchen extension can be a substantial investment, it's one that pays dividends in comfort, enjoyment, and property value.

Choosing the Right Design

Design is crucial when extending your kitchen. Work with architects and designers to ensure that your new space complements the existing structure of your home. Consider the layout, natural light, and how the extension will integrate with other areas of your home. It’s essential to strike a balance between aesthetics and practicality.

Hiring the Right Professionals

Successful kitchen extensions require skilled professionals. Hiring experienced contractors, architects, and designers is vital. Look for reputable professionals with a proven track record in home extensions. Check reviews, ask for references, and ensure they understand your vision for the space.

Obtaining Permits

Before construction begins, it’s crucial to obtain any necessary permits. Regulations can vary significantly depending on your location. Ensure your extension complies with local building codes and zoning laws to avoid potential legal issues down the road.

Conclusion

Transforming your home with a kitchen extension is an exciting and rewarding endeavor. It allows you to enjoy increased space, enhanced functionality, and a design that speaks to your lifestyle. By carefully planning and working with the right professionals, you can create a stunning kitchen extension that not only meets your current needs but also adds long-term value to your beloved home.

Look after the heart of your home with our extraordinary kitchen extensions

The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home. A place where your family lives, loves and laughs on a daily basis. It’s not just the room where you cook food –
it’s often the place where you eat, entertain and even work. Our kitchen extensions are designed to help you make the most of the space available, creating a light, beautiful heart for your property.

London’s period properties often have small ground floor kitchens, which can be extended by building out into their long gardens or side passageways.
The result is a bright, airy and modern living and cooking area that brings family and friends together. We’ve created kitchen extensions in keeping with the period nature of London properties, and we’ve also designed spectacular modern cooking and eating areas for London homes. We’ve even created kitchen extensions with glass walls and roof lights, bringing the night sky right into your dining area. There’s no limit to what we can achieve for you!

Change the way you look at space with a side extension

London properties often waste ground space with unused side returns, which are perfect for increasing the footprint and value of the home. A side house extension can add significant extra footage to your property, and is perfect for extending living areas and kitchen areas, or adding an office, extra bedroom or bathroom.

Side house extensions are also ideal for creating extra area on first and second floors. Increase the storeys of your extension to maximise internal space.

Planning comes with every house extension

Every house extension we create includes all the planning permissions you need. We’ll get your planning permission in plenty of time, and keep Building Regulations informed of the progress to your work, with all relevant site inspections booked and managed by your project manager. Our management staff are all qualified and experienced structural and civil engineers, and our planning and design staff are well-known to the local authority departments responsible for granting your applications.

We take care of everything - all you have to do is enjoy your newfound space.

We know structure

Many house extensions, particularly side and back extensions to Victorian and Edwardian London properties, require structural alterations. Our management staff are qualified to design, apply for permission and install minor and major structural solutions, including cantilevers and RSJs. We undertake a full structural survey of your property at the planning stage of your house extension, and build the remedies into your design. From foundations to rafters, there’s no problem we can’t overcome.

We come recommended

Our clients are delighted with the work we do, and we believe that’s the best recommendation of all. We’ll be happy to arrange for you to visit some of our previous projects, and hear real endorsements from the people who matter – our customers. And it’s not just the quality of the finished extension that our clients are so happy with. We work hard to keep disruption to a minimum and efficiency at a maximum, resulting in outstanding value and reliability.

We're experts in creative space use

London’s streets are full of properties whose potential isn’t being used. Our designers and project managers are geniuses with space. We can use master carpenters to create fitted furniture for your house extension, maximising the use you get from smaller or oddly-shaped ground areas, and open out existing rooms into new footprints that bring them to life.
