Kitchen-diner rear extension in Old Trafford
For homes in Old Trafford, a kitchen-diner rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Old Trafford is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including M17, M32 and M33. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Old Trafford follows the English householder rules.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Old Trafford like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Old Trafford. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier. 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 Old Trafford homes.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Old Trafford
Can you match the brick or stone on my Old Trafford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Old Trafford?
As a guide, £1,790–£2,910 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £21,500–£35,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.

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.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
