About This Service
Kitchen Extensions Specialists in Essex
A kitchen extension is usually a single-storey addition to the rear or side of the house, built to create an open-plan kitchen-diner. It often involves removing part of the existing back wall and fitting structural steel, so the old and new spaces become one room. Rooflights or a lantern, and wide glazed doors to the garden, bring in light. Many single-storey rear extensions can be built under permitted development, within the depth and height limits, and others need a planning application or a neighbour consultation. Essex Loft Extensions designs and builds kitchen extensions across Essex and Hertfordshire, from structure and building regulations to plastering, electrics and finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?
Many single-storey rear extensions can be built under permitted development, subject to depth and height limits and the type of house. Side extensions, two-storey work, and homes in conservation areas or with removed rights may need planning permission. We check at the survey.
Will I need to remove a wall?
Usually part of the existing rear wall is opened up so that the old kitchen and the new space become one room. This needs a structural engineer to calculate the steel, and building regulations approval.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
In most cases yes, though the kitchen is out of use for part of the project. We plan the work to keep disruption as low as we can.
Can the kitchen itself be supplied?
We build and finish the extension, including plumbing and electrics. Kitchen units are chosen and fitted as agreed at the quote stage.
