Kitchen extensions are one of the most ordinary types of extensions in the UK, aside from a conservatory. If you want something like a rear extension<\/strong>, you must understand what is involved, the various factors to be taken into account, and the expense. This guide looks to answer the question – ‘how much does a kitchen extension cost’ including different considerations, such as planning permission, professional fees, and material costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Would You Consider a Kitchen Extension?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes in UK households, the kitchen is one of the smaller rooms, and the extra space has instead been used in larger living rooms and bedrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, many UK households have a smaller kitchen<\/a> with virtually no room for a dining table or breakfast bar. This inconvenience means eating in other rooms like the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, kitchen extensions are incredibly desirable. Firstly, you are adding entirely new space<\/strong> to your house, which means that you can convert your existing kitchen into a kitchen with a dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, it could also mean that you can simply have more space, storage, and appliances in your kitchen. For example, you could fit more kitchen units into the extension and thus have more storage for your cutlery, pans<\/a>, and appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A kitchen extension gives you more freedom and space<\/strong> to enjoy your cooking. In most instances, a kitchen extension will also significantly improve the value of your home if you should wish to sell it in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Permission and Building Regulations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
