L-shaped/wrap around kitchen extension

An l-shaped, or wrap around, kitchen extension is where the extension not only goes into the side addition but also wraps around the back extending sometimes three or four meters into the garden which can provide a huge kitchen living area looking out onto the garden. Usually side returns apply a maximum of around 2m wide in London so the additional space to the rear allows a much more sympathetic space conducive with the way most families want to live, allowing cooking whilst keeping an eye on the children watching tv or playing in the garden through folding sliding doors. There are two roofing options - either a flat or a pitched roof. Our favourite is the flat roof which enables the same ceiling height in both the old part of the space but also the new, giving you a seamless sleek look. This type of extension makes it harder for a layman to see which sections are old and which are new, especially when the new structural beam is also pushed up to be flush to the ceiling. Bear in mind this would involve some remedial work upstairs in the back rooms but it does give an incredible finish. An l-shaped or wrap around extension will require either the neighbours joint planning permission or an existing structure next door of a height higher than 2.1m on the boundary.

nuspace extension steps:

1
Introduction:
When we meet you at your property, we will discuss your extension options and/or home improvement requirements.
2
Suitability:
We will identify whether your space is suitable to extend and, if so, will carry out an initial survey and discuss the next steps.
3
Extension process:
We will prepare a quotation for you to review and upon acceptance, will arrange a meeting with our Architect and determine the best extension design based on the property and your needs. The next step is to apply for Planning Permission (where necessary), Party Wall Agreements (where necessary) and Building Control. At nuspace we will coordinate all the information required and once in place, will agree a date to commence your works. We will book a Prestart Meeting to introduce you to your Foreman and Project Manager, and schedule the scaffolding (where necessary) to be erected. Once done, materials will be ordered and the works started. Your office-based Project Manager will visit your project every week/fortnight (depending on the stage of works) and keep you informed on the progress to ensure your extension is built exactly as you are expecting.
