Single storey extensions are a great way to add space and value to your property. A single storey extension is often very cost effective and they are suitable for many 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. Substantial single storey extensions will still need planning permission. Single storey home extensions can also often be positioned to either the side or back of your property. Single storey home extensions are often used to expand kitchen areas or even to add a downstairs study or utility room.

 

Also, they are often used to create a larger open plan area in the downstairs of the house that may be used as a kitchen diner or living area. Adding roof lights and bifold doors to your home extension will generate a huge airy space that provides a seamless transition into the garden. While single storey home extensions may appear less complicated than other sorts of extension, careful planning remains essential to ensure that the new space is practical and attractive. Competent architects and building contractors will be able to give you advice on the best design for your home extension, taking into account the needs of the new space as well as the best way to complement the existing building. Your single storey home extension could be designed to complement your present property and employ similar materials for its construction or be designed to contrast, offering an impressive effect by using different materials.

 

Factors that impact Single Storey Extension Prices

There are a couple of variables to bear in mind when you are setting your budget. The main factors that influence the cost of a single storey extension are the size and the coating. Yet there are other factors that it deserves remembering while you are making your plans.

Very Expensive Groundworks Needed

If it is challenging to dig the foundations as well as lay the footing for your extension, after that this can enhance the cost of your extensions. This could be the situation if the ground is difficult to deal with. Debris in the ground can additionally increase the prices.

  • Quality of Fixtures and also Fitting
    After the size of the extension, the next largest factor is the quality of the coating. Picking high-end alternatives can result in the last price being more than double what it would certainly be when picking the fundamental options.
  • Size of Extension
    When you are obtaining an extension on your home, the single largest variable that will affect the price of your extension is the size of it. The bigger the extension is, the a lot more you will end up paying. If the location inside the extension is simple, with no internal walls, then this will certainly lower the price per m2 somewhat. Nevertheless, despite this in mind. The larger the location of your extension, the a lot more you pay.
  • Sort of Extension
    The kind of extension you choose will go a long way in the direction of determining how huge your extension will be. Side return extensions produce the tiniest added space so are often the least expensive choice, while a wraparound kitchen extension will develop one of the most area and have one of the most costly fittings as well as fixtures.
  • Building Regulations
    In many cases, constructing guidelines don't include a great deal of cost to a building task. Nonetheless, if you are developing an extension onto an older house, there may be some unexpected prices. This is particularly real if the residence has not lately been updated. Building regulations will relate to your entire house, not just the extension. This can result in the requirement for electrics to be taken a look at or door changed.

 

Kitchen Extensions:

Kitchen extensions largely fall under the areas of single storey extensions, although all type of property extensions could be used to include added room for a kitchen.

As an approximate guide, a single floor extension will set you back from ₤ 1,000 - ₤ 2,000/ m2, with a fundamental build at the reduced end of the scale and a superb build high quality at the higher end at a variety, with expenses of ₤ 2,500/ m2 plus.

Greenhithe (population 4,700) is a village in the District of Dartford in Kent, England. It is located east of Dartford, in the civil parish of Swanscombe and also Greenhithe. Greenhithe's economic situation no longer depends on river trade, this having been replaced by the M25 motorway, the brand-new Broadband 1 Ebbsfleet International station as well as the Bluewater complex. The whole area is being redeveloped as part of the Thames Gateway regeneration. Its supporter councils and also government enrollers thus intend to bring in more abundance as well as revenue generation, especially through the interaction with the substantial mall. This is reflected in boosted residential or commercial property evaluations, and also somewhat greater investing than in 20th century overspill estates which had a tendency to line the estuary. Its high street is less considerable a destination than Bluewater, which is supplemented by a supermarket in the village. Greenhithe railway station apart, there is little in the area aside from housing.

FAQs

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.

How long does a small extension take?

If you’re planning to build a small extension on your property, you’ll most likely want to know the length of time it’ll take to complete the home extension. Just like many other home improvement projects, it’s impossible to provide a specific number of day in which your project will be completed as the duration is based on a number of influencing factors. This includes the size of the development work as well as whether or not you plan to live in the house when the work is being done. In this article, we’re going to give you a breakdown of the processes that’s involved in building a small single storey extension alongside the duration for each so you can have an idea of how long your small extension project will take. Let’s take a look!

✓ A small single storey extension will normally take about 3 months to be completed.

✓ Site preparation is the first step in the process and it’ll take up to 2 weeks the dig out the footings and prepare foundations. Followed by a further 2 weeks to fit the damp course as well as any drains required around the extension.

✓ The 5th week is spent on working on the external walls and putting in place blockwork to deliver cavity wall insulation.

✓ The next 2 weeks will be spent on installing the roof structure as well as internal walls.

✓ Once done. The builders will make the structure weather proof and electricians or gas fitters will be on site to add power to the extension. This will be followed by internal walls’ plastering as well as breaking into your main house.

✓ After this, when the plaster is dry and decoration completed, units or furniture will then be installed.

how much does a kitchen extension cost?

Being the most used room in a house, it’s little surprise kitchen extension are usually one of the most popular requests in the UK. They do not only open up a frequently used space in your home, but also goes a long way to add value to your property. However, to know the value that’ll added you must first determine the cost of building such an extension before moving forward. Generally, a typical kitchen extension will cost within the range of £20,000 to about £50,000 plus VAT, based on the size of your project as well as your location.

In reality, a single accurate cost of a kitchen extension will vary depending on a lot of influencing factors, one of which is the type of the extension. Let’s take a look!

✓ Rear extension. You may want to consider this type, if you do not have sufficient space for a side return. This will extend your kitchen into your garden which implies that you’re going to give up some green space to make this a reality. The average price to have this done in London will be about £30,000 or more including VAT, and about £20,000 plus VAT or more in other areas.

✓ Side return extension. This, normally, isn’t a huge add to your property, but will create a lot of space for your kitchen while also be a lot reasonable in terms of cost. This type will extend your home into an alleyway at the side of your property if any is available there. On average, the cost of the side return extension should be about £50,000 plus VAT in London and a lot less in the other regions.

how much does a single storey house extension cost?

If you’re planning to build a single story house extension, this is one of the first questions that usually comes to mind to help you set a budget and start to make plans. But as simple as it seems, a single accurate answer can not be provided due to the fact that there are several variables that can play a key role in influencing the price of a single story house extension. These variables includes the size, location, design or specification as well as the build route. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a rough estimate that you can work with to put you on the right path.

The main determinant of the cost of a single storey extension is the size of the build, while the next most relevant factor is the quality of the finish you opt for. For a small extension, you can expect to spend a sum within the range of £14,000 to £17,000. Meanwhile for a larger single storey extension, if you opt for a large wrap around the extension with a great amount of glass to be incorporated in both the walls and roof, you can expect to pay a sum within the range of £80,000 to £120,000.

Overall, the average cost of a single story house extension is usually within the range of £34,000 to £37,000. For this price, you should get a standard sized rear or side extension which also includes the cost of a kitchen - it’s the most commonly use for a single story extension especially in the UK.

There are some additional costs you may also need to factor in to your extension budget. These includes surveys, architect fees, planning application fee (if needed), insurance and Party Wall Agreement (if needed).
