Kitchen Extensions in Earlsfield & Wandsworth — FAQs
A typical kitchen or side return extension costs about £90,000–£100,000 to build, excluding VAT and professional fees. That's the build price; kitchen units, flooring and other second-fix items are supplied by you. Access and logistics can affect the final figure, and you get a fixed quote after a site visit. Our Earlsfield project included a full kitchen renovation with bi-fold doors and underfloor heating.
Most side return and rear extensions in Earlsfield fall under Permitted Development rights. However, some properties in conservation areas or with Article 4 directions may need planning approval. We check the planning position at our free site visit, and we work with your architect on any application.
A typical side return kitchen extension in Earlsfield takes 6–10 weeks. Our Earlsfield project was completed in 8 weeks, including structural work, bi-fold door installation, underfloor heating, and premium kitchen finishes.
A side return extension utilises the narrow alleyway along the side of a terraced or semi-detached house — very common in Earlsfield and Wandsworth. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to significantly increase your kitchen and living space without a large footprint.
