Kitchen-diner rear extension in Heston
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Heston. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Heston (TW4, TW5 and UB2) as part of our Greater London work. We usually keep the working kitchen where the old one was and put the dining table in the new space by the doors, which suits most Heston homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Heston?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Heston is set by England's householder rules and your council.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Heston like to extend?
Heston is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Approvals
Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Heston
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Heston?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
How big should a kitchen-diner be?
Around 25 to 35 m² for the combined kitchen, dining and seating areas suits most family homes. Your survey shows what fits the house.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Heston house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
