Choose an Ealing Kitchen Extension Specialist
If you ask us to name a wholesome West London area, we would say Ealing has it all – the metro vibe, leafy suburbia feel, and even the country life in its small villages. It doesn’t matter which Ealing quarters you belong to; a spacious home can offer the flexibility to choose your way of life and adapt to changing times. The kitchen is central to a contemporary home, and a well-sized kitchen serves all the needs of a family by stretching its functions even further. Kitchen extensions Ealing solve your need for space without making life too complicated. We have extended hundreds of homes across London, and we have seen how even the most basic extension can make life so much easier for homeowners. You, too, can benefit from the extra floor space with a well-planned house extension. Let’s start with the basics;
A Side Return
It is the infill of the passage between your house and your neighbour’s. Typically Victorian and Edwardian homes use this method to increase property size. It is one of the most common domestic extension types to take advantage of if you live in a semi-detached or terraced home.
Rear Extension
This addition at the rear end of the house extends on to the back garden. When there is no chance for a Side Return option, this becomes the most common option. For most terraced properties, it is the only ground floor extension to consider.
Wraparound
These combine both a Side Return and a Rear extension to wrap around the house. You get double the amount of space that allows for more floor plan features. You can add a sizable dining area, a utility room, a guest bedroom, or even a play area.
Two-Storey Extension
There’s no need to limit your extension in Ealing to just to the bottom half of your house. With a two-storey extension, you add more space top to bottom. It is the most suitable option if you don’t want to use up too much of your garden space.
Not for most extensions. You can add Side and Rear extensions to your Ealing home without planning permission. Double Storey Side extensions and Wraparound extensions do need planning permission. Applying for planning permission is carried out by Good Design & Build to eliminate any chance for error and to speed up the process. Permitted Development rights apply when;
- Your property is not in a designated area
- Side extensions can only extend to half the width of the existing property and cannot exceed 4m in height
- Rear home extensions must not extend 4m beyond the Rear wall of a detached house, or 3m for other house types
- Multi-storey extensions cannot exceed 3m beyond the Rear wall or be within 7m of any boundary opposite the rear wall of the property
- Multi-storey extensions must have a matching roof pitch to the original house
We work with some of the country’s best builders, architects, and engineers. Our meticulous plans are 100% bespoke and created for your lifestyle. Our pre-build services include assistance with party walls agreements, Thames Build Water agreement, preparing method statements, and submitting building control applications. We also provide fully-dedicated project management available round the clock.
The first consultation is free, so is our site visit and the itemised quote. When you decide to go ahead with your project, we offer you our first contract for the Design phase. Once the designs are to your satisfaction and have received approval, we move on to the second contract for building work. There is no pressure to sign it unless you want to continue with us.
- By including a loft conversion for your home, you are allowing more free-flowing space downstairs for the extension to accommodate.
- A full-width rear extension allows for a garden-integrated office space.
- You can use complementary but contrasting material for your extension with planning permission.
A Side Return will cost around £35,000, while a Rear extension can cost £40,000. A more spacious Wraparound will see you spending £55,000, and a Double-Storey extension costs around £75,000 or more.

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.
