Kitchen side extension

Sometimes called a side return extension, this is the most common kitchen extension in London and the South West of London. A side return generally involves building out 1.25m to the side of the property and finishing flush at the back of the main part of the house. Clients can then choose to have either a pitched or flat roof over the extended section.

Regulations often mean pitched roofs have to pitch down to 2.1m on the boundary wall.

The main styles of side extensions include:

Flat roof
Pitched roof

Introduction:

When we meet you at your property, we will discuss your extension options and/or home improvement requirements.

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.

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.
