Choose an Acton kitchen extension specialist

Acton is a residential hotspot of West London with easy transport links. The area features Edwardian, Victorian, and mock Tudor properties. Whether it is for raising a family, running a business, or working in London, Acton serves all your needs well. And there is no reason why your house should let you down when your neighbourhood is ideal. If space is your biggest worry, let us put your mind at rest with problem-solving kitchen extensions Acton. Modern-day kitchens demand two things to be the success spot of the house – multifunctionality and sociability. You can achieve both by opening up spaces to enhance usability. The open-plan addition that accommodates your kitchen, dining area, and sitting area offers the perfect setting for socialising and spending time together as a family. We have transformed Victorian and 1930s homes across London with bespoke designs that spell out each client’s needs and tastes.

Don't move. Extend in style

We can save you the hassle that comes with moving not to mention the heavy stamp duty! Adding an extra loft bedroom or enlarging the living kitchen dining space on ground floor is an economical way of transforming your home to suit growing needs. The projects can range from £40-100K depending on your requirements and can be completed within 8-16 weeks.

Single-storey extensions

The Side Return – The L-shaped garden of the Victorian terraced homes leaves enough space on the side to extend. It allows your kitchen to widen, and with interior walls knocked through can form one big room fit for an open-plan design.

Rear Extension – Built towards the back garden, it can extend from wall to wall. This extension can add more open floor space and better garden integration. Rear extensions are especially beneficial for Victorian and Edwardian properties in linking the awkward spaces at the back for a more unified and free-flowing space.

The Wraparound – If you are looking for maximum space for a single-storey extension, this is the type to choose. It incorporates both a Side Return and a Rear Extension. You can add a new bathroom, WC, a playroom, a utility room, or even a small home office.

Double-storey extension

It is a two-level extension built either on the side of the property or the back. This method doesn’t take too much from your garden and use the same foundation and roof to create twice as much space.

House extensions are allowed under Permitted Developments. However, limitations do apply. If,

  • you live in a designated area
  • your property is a listed one
  • your extension exceeds half the area of the existing house
  • the new addition is higher than the highest part of the property
  • the extension is higher at the eaves than the existing eaves
  • the new structure comes within 2m of the boundary, the height at the eaves exceeds 3m
  • the extension is at the forward of the principal elevation or fronts a highway at the side elevation; you need planning permission.

Our expertise in designing and building home extensions spans more than a decade. We have improved an array of London homes to afford more space and functionality while optimising pleasing aesthetics. With us, you are not just getting professional extension building, but also the convenience of admin management. We take care of all the planning applications, method statements, Thames Build Over Agreement, Party Wall Agreements, and relevant logistics. You also get a full-time project manager to oversee building work and to coordinate with third party suppliers.

We start with an initial consultation that helps you decide the best way to build your house extension. The second step is to determine the suitability of your Acton house for a kitchen extension. We provide a free survey and a detailed quote, which outlines the cost fully transparently. When we get the ‘go-ahead’ from you, the Design phase begins. Once the finalised designs and plans get the green light, the Build phase begins. We prepare two contracts for both stages, so you can opt-out if you don’t want the building to commence.

Lounge Room

When you add a rear extension or a Wraparound, leave out the last strip of space for a lounge area that benefits from the garden views. It can even become a sunroom with bi-fold doors and oversized roof lights.

Glass against the brick

Preserve the architectural integrity of your home by using black-framed glass walls for the extension against the brick of the original house. It offers a sophisticated contrast while complementing the brickwork.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
