Kitchen Extensions in Hoddesdon
A Hertfordshire town with a mix of post-war and modern housing. Hoddesdon has older buildings along the High Street and a large amount of 20th-century housing, from interwar semis to post-war estates.
In market towns, a rear kitchen extension keeps the front of the house unchanged. Market-town streets mix period and modern homes, so what suits one property on a road may not suit its neighbour; the survey looks at your own roof and structure. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
Planning and approvals for kitchen extensions in Hoddesdon
Planning applications are decided by Broxbourne Borough Council, and the older core of the town is more tightly controlled than the newer estates. Single-storey rear kitchen extensions can often be built under permitted development within the depth and height limits, while larger or side extensions may need permission.
We confirm which approvals apply to your Hoddesdon property at the survey, and we prepare and manage the applications for you.
What we check at your Hoddesdon survey

Kitchen Extensions in Hoddesdon: FAQs
Who decides planning applications for kitchen extensions in Hoddesdon?
Planning applications are decided by Broxbourne Borough Council, and the older core of the town is more tightly controlled than the newer estates. Single-storey rear kitchen extensions can often be built under permitted development within the depth and height limits, while larger or side extensions may need permission.
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.
Do you cover Hoddesdon and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work in Hoddesdon and nearby places including Broxbourne, Ware, Harlow, Cheshunt. Message us on WhatsApp or use the quote form and we will arrange a free survey of your property.
