Kitchen-diner rear extensions in Newport and Monmouthshire
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design and build rear extensions across Newport and Monmouthshire, from Newport and Abergavenny to Chepstow, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Newport extend: the back kitchen in older terraces and post-war semis is rarely big enough for a table. Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Newport and Monmouthshire. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

Do you need planning permission in Newport and Monmouthshire?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can often be permitted development if it projects no more than 4 metres beyond the rear wall and is no more than 4 metres high. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions, so anything bigger needs a householder planning application.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
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.
Can I have underfloor heating?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating in the new screed is the usual choice, often with the old room's radiators kept or replaced.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.

We cover 6 towns and districts in Newport and Monmouthshire, including Newport, Abergavenny and Chepstow.
