The Cost of a Kitchen Extension
When considering significant work like this on your home, usually one of the first considerations is the kitchen extension’s cost. This has to be compared to the benefits that the increased indoor space will bring to your family and potentially the increased value of your property once the works have been completed.
If the primary reason for the kitchen extension is to create more space for your household and the other alternative is to move to a new home, you can also factor in the potential costs of moving into your overall calculations when deciding if the kitchen extension price makes sense for you and your family to go ahead.
It’s important that you have a clear idea of the kitchen extension cost before you proceed with any work, and Simply can provide just that. We can carry out a free a site survey and review your plans, or help you design your kitchen extension if you’re not yet sure exactly what form the works should take to best fit with your property and needs.

How much does a kitchen extension cost?
Without first carrying out a full site survey and looking at the planned kitchen extension in detail, it isn’t really possible to provide an accurate quote for the work. Every property is different and the amount of work required to complete a kitchen extension will vary, depending on factors such as the size of the extension, whether it is single or double storey, a rear or side return extension, as well as the specifications for any doors or windows added. Depending on your specific property, there may also be additional ground works required on the site for the proposed extension, which will also come with a cost.
Where you are located in the country can also make a difference. For example, the cost of a kitchen extension in London is likely to be different to the same works in another part of the country.
Whilst usually not significant costs in the grand scheme of things, it’s important to take into account redecoration and potentially kitchen fitting or refitting costs too, as these finishing touches that turn your new extension into a part of your home are an integral part of transforming your space and how you use it.

How is a kitchen extension cost in the UK calculated?
The potential cost of a kitchen extension can be calculated accurately when detailed designs and the full specification are established beforehand, along with a site survey to identify any potential issues before the build actually starts.
The size and scope of the kitchen extension will dictate the amount of work involved, along with the cost of materials, and this is how the build quote is reached.
At Simply, we take all the information we have about your proposed works, carry out a site survey and produce a detailed quote for your specific requirements. Our prices are fixed, although if you make changes to the plan during the build, there may be additional costs.
What’s the average cost of a small kitchen extension?
As detailed above, the cost of a kitchen extension depends on so many different factors that it could be misleading to give an average cost. However, a small kitchen extension could start at anything from around £35,000 + VAT upwards, depending on the scope and specification of the build. For a larger kitchen extension, you could expect to pay anything from £55,000 + VAT upwards.
The cost of a kitchen extension needs to be weighed up against the positive difference that the extra spaces makes to your household. This type of building work can certainly add value to your property in some circumstances, but primarily, most people choose a kitchen extension because it means their home simply works better for their needs, and might mean that they can choose to stay in the home they love even when their living requirements change over time.
