Choose a Kew Kitchen Extension Specialist
If you can name Kew Gardens as your neighbourhood landmark, you are in one of Britain’s most distinguished residential areas. Living in an affluent suburb like Kew, you want your house to look and feel the best. What if we say your kitchen is the best place to start revamping your home? Kitchen extensions Kew are warranted investments. More and more families find themselves gathering in the kitchen, not just to cook and eat, but to talk, do school homework, catch up on office work, and to spend their leisure time. We provide London’s most stylish extensions with our design-led projects. You are in the creative hands of professional architects and structural engineers who know the best method of delivering masterful spaces.
Tudors, Stuarts, and Georgians all influenced Kew architecture. It is also home to the Kew House, both a futuristic and primordially influenced construction. Whichever the style of house you own, there’s an extension for it.
Side Return
Terraced and semi-detached homes, typically Victorian and Edwardian properties, have unused fringed spaces that can accommodate an extension to the side. By knocking through an existing wall, the kitchen space can stretch a bit further and can become open-plan. A larger kitchen can provide you with an adequately spacious dining area.
Rear Extension
These extensions extend from the back of the house towards the back garden. They can run the full breadth of your property. You can incorporate the garden into the new kitchen by extra-wide patio doors that open onto the outdoors. It is also ideal to set up al fresco dining options.
Wraparound or L-Shaped Extension
It combines both a long Side Return and a Rear extension. You are not just extending kitchen proportions but also add extra living space with this addition. Wraparounds do not require you to sacrifice much garden space to get enough extra room.
Double Storey Extensions
You do not need to limit your home extension just to the ground floor. Double Storey extensions allow more flexibility to create space both on the ground floor and on the top floor. You can add a new bedroom or a bathroom on the top floor with a kitchen extension on the ground floor. Under new rules, these fall under Permitted Developments for detached homes. Semi-detached homes will need planning permission.
Permitted Development applies for house extensions, which means you do not need planning permission as long as you follow recommended limitations and conditions. These include;
- Not living on designated land
- Not living in a listed building
- Extensions cover only half the land area
- Extensions are not higher than the highest part of the roof or the eaves
- No alterations to the existing roof
Wraparound and Two-Storey Side extensions need planning permission. You also require Party Wall Agreements.
We are specialists in period house remodelling and focus on enhancing your home’s architectural quality structurally and visually. Our in-house architects draw up bespoke plans that suit your needs and available space. You also receive an easy payment plan with our two-phase contracts. The Design phase carries the first contract, and you will move on to the Build phase with the second. We also submit all applications related to planning permission and other legal requirements.
It will all start with the initial free consultation we provide all our customers. We offer a free site survey to explore your options and property compatibility. After this, our professional architects start work on the crucial design. We fit the plans and construction features to your budget and requirements. After finalising the plans with local authorities, we move on to the Build stage. You receive full project management from beginning to the end with complete coordination with third party suppliers.
Reading Corner and Homework Station
With large skylights comes the benefit of natural light. You can include a mini library or a place for your children to do homework in your Side Return, Rear, or Wraparound extension. These could fit right in with open-plan designs.
Laundry Room
You need not do your laundry in the kitchen anymore. Find a discreet space with a house extension.
Glass Walls
Floor to ceiling glass walls can make interiors look bigger and exteriors integrated with the outdoors.

How we deliver projects
Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.
1. Design
This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.
2. Planning
At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.
3. Technical
Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.
4. Pre-build
90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.
5. Build
One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.
6. Handover
As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
