Cost of a side extension

5 years ago

Hi looking to do a similar side extension. I know in this house the whole house was refurbished but what would be a reasonable budget for just the kitchen side extension.

Hi there,

Thank you for getting in touch. The cost for the kitchen side extension was £80k. Please note this was 10 years ago. Budget requirements may have changed in the meantime.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further details.

Kind regards

Possible kitchen extension and costs

It’s never cost effective to pay top price for a beautifully finished home and then to change everything. However sometime we are prepared to do it in order to be in the right location. All building work is possible but it’s difficult to guess costs without knowing what work will be required. A simple extension behind the utility room could cost £15k. But if you need to rework all the steel in the house, move all the plumbing and electrics, replacing floors, buy lots more kitchen cabinets and work surface the cost could be tens of thousands more. It might be more cost effective to build backwards rather than to the side So you need to ask yourself if having an island is a deal breaker because without it this existing space is plenty big enough to have a dining table and sofas without extending.

I think you have to say whereabouts in the country you are. In London, it’s going to cost you about 180K. And if you have the manhole cover on your side rather than your neighbours, it can be more tricky.

We kept a narrow path (680mm min at drainpipe, 750-800 elsewhere) and it proved more useful than imagined as the back garden needed a lot of work post renovation (clearing unreusable building waste and barrowing in compost and plants). I think you could benefit from a super skinny side extension keeping a path but as you've flagged, the costs might not add up. Also, looking at where your bathroom is, I'd want to check where the drains run beforehand as I suspect it'd be expensive if they're where your foundations would go. Here's my suggestion anyway! To the left of the front door would be a small open area with a door to a cloakroom which sits alongside the stairs. My friend has just done that, and having two directions of travel from the front door makes the house feel much grander. The cloakroom would be narrow but I think Karen's right that 700 would be adequate plus you could put a standard lintel in the wall adjoining the stairs and take back what was the external wall to create extra width for the sink. The utility becomes just a laundry room, but serves the key purpose of getting the noisy washing machine out of the open plan room, and could have a door if you want to keep your bins on the path. Run the foundations straight as no reason to dogleg. I'd second Jonathan's idea of moving the kitchen to the centre. I'd add a clerestory window to the side by the corner dining area.
