Types of Kitchen Extension and How much does it cost?

One of the most popular residential projects you might see in the UK is the kitchen extension job. And this is because there are plenty of benefits of extending your kitchen space, from opening up space for a kitchen island to more light.

But kitchen extension comes with many questions such as how much it costs, where to start, whether we need permission or not, etc.

So, let’s find the answers to some of these questions to help you perform kitchen extensions (job) for a new and fantastic experience.

• Pitched Roof
  

  

  If you want to extend your space into the rear of your property, go with Pitched Extension. Because this type of extension provides higher ceiling space, thus making your kitchen even more spacious than its flat-roof counterpart.

  Also, with Pitched Roof Kitchen Extension, you retain the original character of your home yet enjoy more space in the kitchen.

  This extension offers better weather resistance and requires less maintenance due to the use of durable material. But because of the same reason (material) and complex building process, this can cost you higher than a flat-roof extension.

• Flat Roof
  

  

  Flat Roof Kitchen Extension is the first choice for single-story and smaller projects. This trendy kitchen extension is cost-effective and offers a contemporary look to your property.

  Due to less material (and structural work) requirements- you can expect them to be cheaper than their Pitched Roof counterparts. However, If the budget permits and you can adjust with a bit lower ceiling height, you can also try modern industrial materials for a Flat Roof Kitchen extension.

• Skylight

  

  If you are fond of more natural light in your kitchen and add an impression of an ample space- you can Skylight Kitchen Extension. This extension can be tried along with classic rear or side extensions.

  This extension can add dramatic transformation if you combine your kitchen and dining space into an open plan design or with another extension type.

  This extension helps you add more space and ventilation. Plus, unless you live in a flat or a listed building, you rarely need planning permission for Skylights.

  Apart from this extension, there are some more kitchen extensions, such as Kitchen Garden Room Extension, Orangery Kitchen Extension, and Kitchen Conservatory Extension, which you can also try.

The cost to add Kitchen Extension depends on many aspects. For example, the type of extension, property location, complexity of the project, the material involved, project size, etc.

Still, to help you with a rough idea of cost involvement- a professional kitchen design & construction agency can cost you anywhere between £30,000 and £150,000 to add a ground floor side extension (in the kitchen).

So, if you also have a plan for kitchen extension, you can connect with PGK- a leading brand in German and Classic English Kitchen projects in the UK.
