Single storey extensions are a great way to add space and value to your property. A single storey extension can be quite affordable and they're suited to numerous properties. Smaller sized single storey home extensions can be built without the need to make an application for planning permission because they are covered under permitted development rights. Large single storey extensions will still need planning permission. Single storey home extensions can also typically be positioned to either the side or rear of your property. Single storey home extensions can be used to expand kitchens or even to add a downstairs study or utility room.

 

Also, they are often used to make a larger open plan area in the downstairs of the house that could be used as a kitchen diner or living area. Adding roof lamps and bifold doors to your home extension will create a large airy space that provides a seamless transition in to the garden. While single storey home extensions may appear less complicated than other kinds of extension, careful planning remains needed to make sure that the new space is functional and attractive. Qualified architects and contractors can advise you on the most suitable design for your home extension, considering the specifications of the new space as well as the best way to complement the pre-existing building. Your single storey home extension could be designed to accentuate your pre-existing property and employ similar materials for its construction or be designed to contrast, providing an impressive effect by using differing materials.

 

Aspects that effect Single Storey Extension Prices

Very Expensive Groundworks Needed

If it is tough to dig the structures and lay the footing for your extension, then this can enhance the cost of your extensions. This may be the situation if the ground is hard to deal with. Debris in the ground can additionally raise the costs.

  • Caliber of Fixtures as well as Fitting
    After the dimension of the extension, the following greatest variable is the caliber of the surface. Selecting high-end choices can result in the final cost being greater than double what it would certainly be when selecting the basic alternatives.
  • Dimension of Extension
    When you are obtaining an extension on your house, the single most significant variable that will affect the cost of your extension is the size of it. The bigger the extension is, the extra you will end up paying. If the location inside the extension is basic, with no internal wall surfaces, then this will certainly lower the price per m2 slightly. Nonetheless, even with this in mind. The larger the location of your extension, the much more you pay.
  • Kind of Extension
    The kind of extension you select will certainly go a long way towards dictating just how big your extension will be. Side return extensions develop the tiniest extra area so are commonly the most affordable alternative, while a wraparound kitchen area extension will certainly develop the most space and have the most very expensive fittings and also fixtures.
  • Building Regulations
    For the most part, building regulations do not add a lot of cost to a building task. Nevertheless, if you are developing an extension onto an older house, there may be some unanticipated prices. This is specifically true if the residence has not lately been upgraded. Building policies will relate to your whole home, not simply the extension. This can result in the need for electrics to be considered or door replaced.

 

Kitchen Extensions:

FAQs

how much is a ground floor extension?

Generally, extensions can be a very tricky undertaking - where it can be quite difficult to have a clear comprehension of the rules, regulations as well as costs. Therefore before you rush in to kick start your ground floor extension project, it’ll be wise to get a good grip on the cost. In this article, we’re going to give you a rough estimate of the cost of a ground floor extension. Let’s take a look!

Just like several other home improvement projects, the cost of constructing a ground floor extension is based on a number of things which includes the size, materials used, your location, the quality of the tradesmen or company hired and lots more. For instance, if you happen to reside in London, the cost of your ground floor extension is going to be a lot higher than the other regions.

The single cost of a ground floor extension should fall within the range of £1,500 per square metre to about £2,000 per square metre. However, if you happen to live in London or the South East, this price can reach up to £1,900 per square metre to about £2,400 per square metre. These prices are for good quality ground floor extensions only. Basic or low quality extensions would naturally cost less while superior quality extension will cost more.

Now looking at the size of the ground floor extension, if you’re looking for a size of about 5m x 5m, you can expect to pay a price within the range of £32,000 to about £36,000. And as usual, in London or the South East, this price can reach up to £50,000 or even more. And that’s just for constructing the extension. If the other relevant costs like the 10 percent to 15 percent professional fees for the architect, planning application (if needed), building regulations and more, the price goes up.

how much does a kitchen diner extension cost?

If you’re planning to construct a kitchen diner extension, to help you set a budget and start planning you must first have a cost estimate that’ll complete the entire project. If not, there’s a probability that you may have to spend more than would have been necessary or probably break the bank to have the project done. In truth, there’s no single and short answer to this question as the cost of a kitchen diner is largely dependent of several variables. In this article, we’re going to give a good insight into kitchen diner extension cost so as to help you make informed decisions moving forward. Let’s take a look!

On the average, a kitchen diner extension will cost within the range of £25,000 to about £45,000, however if you happen to reside in London, you can expect the cost to be a lot more than that - closer to £60,000. And due to the fact that there happens to be a plethora of options out there, any decision to make be it on the size, tradesman, flooring, finishes or type of the kitchen diner extension, will have a considerable impact on the overall cost of the project. For instance, a basic kitchen diner extension cost can be within the range of £12,000 to about £15,000., while a high end kitchen diner extension can reach a whooping price between £80,000 to about £100,000.

The total cost of your kitchen diner project will rely heavily of the size as well as the quality of the finishes. For example, a kitchen diner extension that’s small and basic is likely to cost about £1,300 to £1,500 per square metre. However, if you’re going for higher quality finishes, you can expect to pay within the range of £1,900 to about £3,000 per square metre.

do i need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

If you’re planning to construct a kitchen extension on your property, one of the first things that comes to mind is whether or not you’ll require a planning permission before you proceed. Generally, kitchen extensions are normally classified as permitted development which allows you to carry out your project without any interruptions from the law or your local authority. In other words, if your extension is meets up with the guidelines of the permitted development rights, you won’t have to apply for a planning permission. However if otherwise, you’ll have to apply for a planning permission to your local council and may require additional reports. And regardless of your position, you’ll always need building regulations approval before you can carry out any kitchen extension project. It may also be required that you’ll have to issue a part wall notice if you’re to build on or close to the boundary with a neighbour.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle and stress involved in applying for a planning permission with your local council, then you must ensure the following:

✓ Your kitchen extension must not be over half of the area of land around your main house.

✓ The kitchen extension must not be side elevation onto a highway or forward of the principal elevation.

✓ The extension must not be taller than the highest part of the roof.

✓ The height of your kitchen extension must not go beyond four metres.

✓ Kitchen extension that’s more than one storey must not go exceed the rear wall of the main house by more than three metres.

✓ Two storey kitchen extensions must not be closer to rear boundary by anything less than seven metres.

✓ The kitchen extension must not include balconies, verandas or any raised platforms.
