The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this bustling, multi-use environment has become a focal point in many modern properties with open-plan designs that can accommodate all the needs and activities of daily life.
Dramatically expanding the ground-floor space and transforming the functionality of your existing living area, kitchen extensions are a popular choice.
Whether you need dedicated dining space, want to spend more time together as a family or would like to add convenient features such as a utility room or downstairs toilet, kitchen extensions are a fantastic way to enhance the style and functionality of your home.
Rear kitchen extensions are ideal for creating an open-plan layout, adding both space and light, whilst back kitchen builds are good options for more compact properties or smaller-scale transformations.
Whatever type of extension you choose, expanding your space and opening the kitchen area offers many benefits, from more natural light and better balance to improved home layout and a more flexible, multi-functional space. A well-designed kitchen extension can improve the overall flow of the home, enhancing daily life even further.
In addition to the transformational practical benefits a kitchen extension brings, it can also significantly increase the value of your property—sometimes as much as 15%, depending on your location.

No home layout is the same and every family has unique requirements. Hence, each kitchen extension looks slightly different from the next. There are many different features to choose from, which can all be customised to suit your needs – but some of the most common types of kitchen extensions include:
Single-story kitchen extensions
Most kitchen extensions are single-storey and typically involve expanding a home's rear or side elevation, providing additional space on one level.
Rear kitchen extensions
Spacious rear kitchen extensions usually run the entire width of a property and can be built out at varying lengths depending on the size needed. These are ideal for homes where a more extensive kitchen-diner is desired. They often use floor-to-ceiling glass doors or ceiling lanterns for added natural light.
Back kitchen extensions
As a more compact sister style to the popular rear kitchen extension, back kitchen extensions are often used in terraced houses and properties with a smaller overall footprint. They provide a sleek way to expand without compromising external or garden space.
Ground-floor kitchen extensions
Ground-floor kitchen extensions seamlessly integrate existing main living areas with open-plan designs, offering flexibility and expanded potential in terms of use. These types of extensions can also help improve a property's flow.
Kitchen and utility room extensions
Sometimes, only a little more space is required to provide some much-needed functional elements for your home. Smaller projects like kitchen and utility rooms extensions are popular for families, providing additional storage and practical space.
Features and finishing touches
A kitchen extension is a blank canvas for whatever design features and practical requirements you're looking for. Bi-fold doors and skylights are common customisations for maximising light and views in extended kitchens. From doors and windows to external materials and internal finishing elements, every aspect of your kitchen extension is designed and tailored-made for you. We also take time during the design and consultation stages to ensure that your new extension complements your existing home design inside and out, providing added value and ease of use.
