A kitchen that works the way your family does
West Bridgford is full of well-loved period semis, 1930s bays and modern family homes, and many share the same problem: a kitchen that feels cut off from the rest of the house. A kitchen extension solves that by pushing into the garden or side return, giving you the open-plan space that busy households really want.
Most of our West Bridgford kitchen extensions take the form of a rear or wrap-around addition, opening the back of the house into a single light-filled room for cooking, eating and relaxing. We plan around bi-fold or sliding doors, roof lanterns and generous worktop runs so the finished space feels twice the size it did before.
Because we work across NG2 and the surrounding streets, we know the local ground conditions, the common house types and what the Rushcliffe planners look for. That means fewer surprises, a smoother build and a kitchen that suits both your family and the character of your home.

West Bridgford families wanting an open-plan kitchen-diner, homeowners with a tired galley kitchen, and anyone adding value before or instead of moving.
Typical timescale

Do you need planning permission in West Bridgford?
Many single-storey rear kitchen extensions in West Bridgford fall under permitted development, meaning full planning permission is not always required. Detached homes can usually extend up to 8 metres to the rear and semis up to 6 metres under the larger home extension rules, subject to conditions.
All kitchen extensions must still meet building regulations for structure, drainage, insulation, ventilation and electrics. If your home is in a conservation area or has had previous extensions, the rules can be tighter, so we always confirm the position before work starts.

Our old kitchen in West Bridgford was tiny and dark. The new open-plan extension has completely changed how we use the house. The roof lantern makes it so bright, and the team kept everything tidy throughout.
We added a rear kitchen extension with bi-folds onto the garden. Fixed quote, no surprises, and they handled the planning side for us. Genuinely local and easy to deal with.
From survey to handover the whole kitchen extension took about twelve weeks. The finish is excellent and it has added real value to our home near the river. Would recommend to any West Bridgford family.
