Kitchen Extensions in Ilford
A densely populated area of outer East London with a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes. Ilford has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses near the centre, with interwar semis in areas such as Gants Hill and Barkingside.
On a Victorian or Edwardian terrace, a side-return or rear extension is the usual way to build a kitchen-diner. Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have a rear outrigger and shared party walls, so the design needs to respect the neighbours and a Party Wall Act notice is usually part of the process. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
