There are a few options for kitchen extension including a side return extension, wrap around extension, rear and side extension which can be confusing, read on for explanations of each.

Rear Kitchen Extension

A rear extension is a simple add on to the end of the property, can usually give approximately another 5 metres to the home, many opt for large roof windows to let in natural light.

Rear extensions mostly have flat roofs, centre pitched roofs or a Monopitch roofs.

Side Return Extension

This is the most common type of extension in South West London. This involves extending the building by 1.25m to the side and finishing flush to the back of the main part of the property. The roof will then be typically flat or pitched.

Wrap around Kitchen Extension

A wrap around is essentially a combination of both of the above options, it extends to the side and back providing a huge amount of kitchen or living space.
Our team can talk you through the options if you’re undecided based on your property and needs.

Single Storey Extension

Planning a single storey extension for your home? Whether it be for a kitchen, dining room, living room or perhaps a play room, it’s a great way to improve your homes layout and increase your space and property value.

A single storey rear extension is most popular, as outlined above mostly used as a single story kitchen extension and are a great alternative to moving house when you want more room for your growing family. With so much choice and options from natural light options through roof lights and very popular bi-fold doors.

The cost of your single storey extension will depend on the size and scale of your project, type of property and if any ground preparations may be required.

Single story extensions are usually calculated based per square metre, the average size of single storey extension is 4mx5m costing around £30,000 – depending on adds on such as plumbing, electricity, painting/decorating, VAT, and any relevant fees or permits.

Double Storey Extension

Is a single storey extension still not enough space for your growing family? Why not consider a double story extension, obviously this will be cost a lot more and be a bigger project – the end result will increase your space by a huge amount.

For terraced houses most two story extensions are created at the rear of the property – and are often used to extend the kitchen and add another bedroom on the second storey.

For a Semi-detached house, this can often include a two storey side return and gives you a lot more freedom usually with the permissions and size of your extension.

As with a single storey extension, you need consider your needs carefully before you start.

If the ground floor will be for the kitchen extension, do you need space for a utility room or storage? Will the second storey used for an extra bathroom, bedroom, office? The function of each room can determine the end price – based on its requirements – i.e electricity, plumbing, window options.

If you’re adding an extra bedroom, you may not necessarily need a second bathroom installation, you could make one large bedroom, or a bedroom and a play room, or perhaps a walk in closet. The options are endless.
