Kitchen-diner rear extension in Dukinfield
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Dukinfield. 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 Dukinfield (OL6, OL7 and SK16) as part of our Greater Manchester work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Dukinfield extend: the back kitchen in stone and brick terraces is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Dukinfield?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Dukinfield follows the English householder rules.
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.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
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 Dukinfield like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Dukinfield. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Dukinfield
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.
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.
Should the sink face the garden?
If the plan allows, an island sink or hob facing the glass is a common choice. It needs a floor-level drain run, which is easy to lay in a new slab.
Is the site visit in Dukinfield free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
