Kitchen Extension

An extension specifically designed to enlarge or create a new kitchen - often an open-plan kitchen-diner that blurs the boundary between kitchen and living space. Kitchen extensions typically include bifold or sliding glazed doors onto a garden, roof lights for natural light, underfloor heating, and a significant investment in kitchen furniture and appliances. Kitchen extensions command the highest value uplift of any type of residential extension.
