A Kitchen Built for Modern Family Life
A kitchen extension is a single-storey addition, usually to the rear of your home, that gives you space for a larger kitchen combined with a dining and living area. It is one of the most popular ways to add both space and value to a family home.
Most kitchen extensions replace a small, closed-off kitchen with a bright open-plan room. We often add bi-fold or sliding doors and roof lights to bring in daylight and connect the room to the garden. The result is a space that works for everyday meals, homework and entertaining alike.
Kitchen extensions are best for growing families, keen cooks, and anyone whose current kitchen feels dark or too tight for how they live. They suit terraced, semi-detached and detached homes across the local area.
Best For
Families who want an open-plan kitchen-diner, homeowners with a dated galley kitchen, and properties with unused side or rear garden space.
Typical Timescale
Most kitchen extensions take 10 to 14 weeks on site, depending on size, groundworks and kitchen fit-out.
Why Choose a Kitchen Extension
- More usable space – a single room for cooking, dining and relaxing that suits busy family life.
- Added value – a well-built kitchen extension is one of the strongest returns on investment for a home.
- More natural light – roof lights and large glazed doors make the whole ground floor feel brighter.
- Better garden connection – open the doors in summer and let the kitchen flow straight onto the patio.
- A modern, sociable layout – cook while staying part of the conversation instead of shut away.
- Room to add features – space for an island, a pantry, a utility area or a proper dining table.

Do You Need Planning Permission?
Many single-storey kitchen extensions fall under permitted development, which means full planning permission is not always required. The exact rules depend on how far the extension projects, its height and whether your home is in a conservation area or listed.
Whatever your situation, we check the rules for your property during the survey and manage any applications for you. Every kitchen extension we build meets building regulations for structure, insulation, drainage and ventilation.
Good to Know
Even under permitted development, larger rear extensions may need approval through the neighbour consultation scheme. We handle this paperwork as part of the job.
