Its staggering Victorian properties add to its appeal. Living in period properties, although it has a special privilege to it, can sometimes restrict you from enjoying 21st Century living. However, these properties also afford you space for kitchen extensions Twickenham and a loft conversion or two.

Single Storey Extensions

Side Return – Victorian properties usually have a side alleyway that can accommodate an extension to the side. By knocking through to the new addition, you are creating a much larger kitchen/dining/living area.

Rear Extension – built at the rear, this can extend from border to border. It becomes an option when there is no space for a Side Return or if you want to save the bordering garden space. A Rear extension with bi-fold doors and roof lights can seamlessly merge with the outdoors.

Wraparound Extension – by connecting a Side Return and a Rear extension, a much bigger space that wraps around the house gets created. It allows room for a living area, dining, and kitchen area.

Double Storey Extension – it is a two-level extension that joins the house at the rear or the side.  It can save the garden space, but at the same time, increase the square footage of your home.

A house extension is a Permitted Development in most cases. Wraparound and Two-Storey Side extensions do require planning permission. Other types are possible to build without permission. You also need Party wall Agreements from your neighbours as shared borders are involved in the construction. You lose PD rights if;

  • Your property is on designated land, or the property is listed
  • The exterior work of the extension differs from the main house
  • A Side Extension or Rear Extension is more than 4m in height
  • A Rear extension extends beyond the Rear Wall of a detached house by more than 4m and 3m of any other property type
  • Double-storey extension extends beyond Rear wall by more than 3m and exceeds 7m of the border opposite the rear wall of the property

We are specialists in Victorian and 1930s property remodelling. Our first-rate bespoke designs aim to maximise available space to bring you optimum satisfaction. Our knowledge of local planning guidelines ensures that the designs are snag-free and suitable for your Twickenham house. We never demand total obligation when we draw up contracts. There are separate contracts for two crucial stages, one for the Design phase and the other for the Build stage. Materials we source for our work is the best your money can buy, and we also work with third-party suppliers to procure high-quality products. We offer easy payment plans and fully transparent costs. You also receive a project manager to oversee the work and assistance with planning permission.

The entire process starts with your free consultation with us. During this, we learn about what you want to achieve with your extension, and you receive a transparent overview of how we intend to carry out work. If you are happy to proceed with us, we provide you a free site visit and a no-obligation quote. Once we enter the Design phase, we carry out a comprehensive architectural survey of the property and finalise designs with the local planning authority. Building work will only begin after you approve the Build contract.

Picture Window – a generous-sized glass window with a window seat is aesthetically pleasing and offers views of the garden and outdoors for you to enjoy.

Rustic country-feel with wood – a timber and glass extension against the brick, especially, red brick of Edwardian properties, offers a nature-inspired contrast.

Double-storey rear extension with master bedroom – a second-floor bedroom with Juliet balcony overlooking the garden is both panoramic and cosy.

A kitchen extension cost varies from £35,000 to £75,000 depending on the size and design features employed.

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.
