Is a small kitchen extension worth it?

Even a modest kitchen extension can make a huge difference. A small side return or rear extension can open up your home, improve flow, and boost natural light.

It can also increase property value by up to 15%, making it a smart long-term investment.

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

Many kitchen extensions fall under permitted development, meaning you won’t need full planning permission. However, it depends on size, height, and proximity to neighbours.

Your builder can help confirm local council requirements and handle any applications.

Top Tip

Another important part of a kitchen extension is natural light — it can completely transform your new space. Consider skylights, large windows, or bifold doors for an open and inviting feel, year-round.

FAQs about kitchen extension builders

  • Most kitchen extension projects take 2–6 months, depending on size, design, and material availability. This includes consultation, planning, construction, and finishing stages.

  • It's usually possible to live at home during a kitchen extension. Your builder will plan work in stages to minimise disruption, though you may temporarily lose kitchen access during structural phases.

  • A well-designed kitchen extension can increase property value by 10–15%, especially if it creates an open-plan living space.

  • You won't always need an architect for a kitchen extension, but it’s wise for complex or bespoke designs. Many builders can help with architectural or design services.

  • A smaller or simpler single-storey kitchen extension could be achieved with a £30k budget. For larger or higher-spec designs, you may need a higher budget. Always compare detailed quotes to understand what’s possible.

  • The 50% rule refers to permitted development limits, which cap how much you can extend without full planning permission based on your original plot size. Always check with your local council or builder before finalising plans.
