Kitchen-diner rear extension in Risca
For homes in Risca, 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.
Risca is covered from our South Wales Valleys round, including NP11. 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 Risca homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Risca?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Risca follows the Welsh householder rules.
The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings 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 Risca like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Risca. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

Do you fit the kitchen?
Yes, whether you buy it yourself or we supply it. We take the measurements from the built shell, not the drawings.
