Kitchen-diner rear extension in Bebington
For homes in Bebington, 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.
Bebington is covered from our Merseyside round, including CH42, CH62 and CH63. 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 Bebington homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Bebington?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Bebington is set by England's householder rules and your council.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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. 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 Bebington like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Bebington. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
How a kitchen-diner rear extension in Bebington comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Bebington
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bebington?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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 add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Is the site visit in Bebington free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Bebington?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
