What are kitchen extensions?

Kitchen extensions are a great way to add more space to the kitchen, whether you want a bigger island or just need more storage. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters is here to answer all of your questions about kitchen extensions and help you make the best decision for your home.

Benefits of kitchen extensions

Many benefits come with adding an extension to your kitchen! You can create a large open-plan living area, which will be perfect if you entertain at home often. It’s also easier on the eye when it comes to decorating because there aren’t any harsh boundaries between rooms-everything flows together beautifully no matter what style you opt for. If children regularly use the kitchen as their playroom, then this could be ideal too, because they won’t feel so separate from adults.

When are kitchen extensions not advised?

It’s important to consider the practicalities of having a larger living space and whether it makes sense for your family or would create more problems than benefits. For example, if you have an older home that isn’t easily accessible, then this could cause complications with building work as well as other areas, such as parking, especially if you live in a city. In addition, there is always going to be disruption when making changes like these, so although it might seem worth it now later on down the line, you may rethink what was initially done!

What is involved in kitchen extensions?

Many things need to be considered before starting any type of extension project. They include

Planning

In the planning stage, we provide a free consultation where we discuss with you any possible changes to the kitchen. We will also be able to give advice on what materials are best suited for your extension, depending upon usage and the overall design of the kitchen.

Design

This is perhaps one of the most important stages when it comes to planning an extension. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters can work closely with our clients to help create something that not only meets their needs but exceeds all expectations. Our expertise allows us to plan each stage thoroughly, creating designs that cater specifically to your taste and style preferences. This helps generate an attractive product that leaves consumers excited about moving into their new home.

Loyalty Kitchen Fitters are flexible when it comes to installation to accommodate the needs of our clients. We have a variety of different tradesmen who work alongside Loyalty, able to complete projects within established lead times that may be required by you!

We want your extension experience to run as smoothly and stress-free as possible whilst maintaining high-quality results at all stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need plans for a kitchen extension?

This largely depends on the design of your home and whether you are planning to build an extension at all. Loyalty recommends that if there is any doubt about this, speak with a local architect or surveyor who will be able to advise you accordingly.

Where do I start with a kitchen extension?

What is the average cost of a kitchen extension?

It’s important to have an idea of your budget before you begin. On average, Loyalty Kitchen Fitters’ kitchen extensions start at £18,500-so it does depend on what requirements and specifications you have in mind. We’ve seen a huge variety of budgets being invested in our clients’ new kitchens, but we always work within each client’s individual needs and preferences!

How do I survive a kitchen extension?

Kitchen extensions can be stressful at times, but there are lots of ways to ensure that the entire process is as smooth as possible:

– Keep organised with all documents by using one document box for each area (planning permission, plans etc.).

– Make sure every room has adequate ventilation

– Ensure that you have a clear idea of the final design before work begins.

– Make sure to keep your kitchen appliances covered with dust covers when they are not in use during construction periods.

This will ensure that no damage is caused and prevent any unnecessary stress! If this doesn’t help, Loyalty Kitchen Fitters offers a complete project management service for homeowners looking for even more support. This includes preparation, full planning permission process where necessary, installation and handover alongside our excellent customer care throughout each step of the way.

Are kitchen extensions worth the hassle?

In most cases, yes. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters have completed over 500 projects and we’ve seen that kitchens can be extended both upwards and outwards depending on your space requirements. Whether you’re looking for more storage or want an open-plan living area, our team of experts can help create it!

How long does a kitchen extension take?

Again, this depends on the project. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters complete all kitchen extensions within an average of 12 weeks-but some projects can take longer for a variety of reasons, including holiday seasons and availability with our suppliers.

Does a kitchen extension add value?

Yes. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters have completed kitchen extensions for thousands of homeowners to increase their home value and extend the usable area available in properties.

Do I need an architect for a kitchen extension?

It is not compulsory but advised as their expertise will result in fewer issues with local authorities such as planning permission. Loyalty Kitchen Fitters also work closely with architects who are happy to draw up plans at no cost if needed, so don’t worry about costs, we will keep you updated.
