Kitchen-diner rear extension in Allerton
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Allerton. 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 Allerton (L18, L19 and L25) as part of our Merseyside work. For Allerton kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Allerton?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Allerton.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Allerton like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Allerton. 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 Allerton
Can you match the brick or stone on my Allerton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Do you handle building control in Allerton?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
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.
