Why extend your kitchen?

More space, more light and better everyday living

London homeowners choose kitchen extensions because they solve the problems of narrow rooms, poor layout, limited storage and disconnected living spaces.

Open-plan living

Create a generous kitchen, dining and family area where cooking, entertaining and relaxing can happen in one connected space.

Natural light

Rooflights, glazed doors and wider openings help bring daylight deep into the home and improve the flow to the garden.

Added value

A well-designed kitchen extension can make your London home more attractive to future buyers while improving your daily lifestyle.

No need to move

Gain the space you need without leaving your location, schools, neighbours or the area you already enjoy.

Our services

Kitchen extension services in London

Every home is different, so we help you choose the extension type that gives the best layout, budget and long-term value.

Rear kitchen extensions

Extend into the garden to create a spacious kitchen diner with large doors, rooflights and a strong indoor-outdoor connection.

Side-return extensions

Use the narrow side passage common in London terraced homes to turn a cramped kitchen into a wider, brighter living space.

Wraparound extensions

Combine rear and side extensions to maximise ground-floor space and create a large open-plan kitchen and family room.

Double-storey options

Where suitable, we can help you explore adding space above the kitchen extension for bedrooms, bathrooms or office space.

Kitchen renovation

We can coordinate the extension shell with the kitchen layout, electrics, plumbing, heating, flooring and final finishes.

Design & build

Our complete design and build approach keeps design, planning, construction and project management joined up from the beginning.

Design & build excellence

One team from first idea to finished kitchen

With our design and build service, you do not need to manage separate designers, builders, engineers and trades. We coordinate the full journey so your extension is planned properly and built efficiently.

We consider layout, light, storage, glazing, heating, drainage, structure and finishes early, so your kitchen extension is not only beautiful, but practical to build.

Planning & regulations

Kitchen extensions built on the right approval route

Many single-storey kitchen extensions can be possible under Permitted Development, but every London property must be checked carefully. Conservation areas, boundary positions, height, depth, materials and previous extensions can all change the answer.

  • Planning permission checks for larger or sensitive extensions
  • Permitted Development advice for qualifying single-storey projects
  • Building Regulations and Building Control coordination
  • Structural calculations for openings, steels, foundations and roof design

Questions homeowners ask

Kitchen extensions London FAQs

How much does a kitchen extension cost in London?

Costs vary by size, specification, glazing, structural work and finish. Basic kitchen extensions may start from around £30,000, while larger or higher-spec London projects can cost significantly more. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing your home and requirements.

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

Many single-storey kitchen extensions can fall under Permitted Development if they meet the limits for size, height, location and materials. Larger extensions, conservation areas and double-storey work usually need planning advice or full permission.

How long does a kitchen extension take to build?

A typical single-storey kitchen extension often takes around 8 to 12 weeks on site, depending on structure, specification and access. Design, planning and approvals can add extra time before construction starts.

What type of kitchen extension is best for a London terrace?

Side-return and rear extensions are popular for London terraced houses because they can widen narrow kitchens and create open-plan kitchen dining space with better light and garden access.

Can I live in my home during the kitchen extension?

In many cases, yes, but there will be disruption, especially when the existing kitchen is removed or structural openings are made. We plan access, safety, temporary facilities and communication to make the process as manageable as possible.

Will a kitchen extension add value to my property?

A well-designed kitchen extension can improve both lifestyle and resale appeal. Value depends on the quality of design, finish, location and how naturally the extension works with the existing home.

Do you handle Building Regulations?

Yes. We can coordinate structural calculations, insulation, drainage, fire safety, electrics and other Building Regulations requirements so your extension is compliant and ready for inspection.
