Kitchen-diner rear extension in Rugeley
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Rugeley. 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 Rugeley (WS15) as part of our Staffordshire work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Rugeley extend: the back kitchen in red-brick terraces and 1930s semis is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Rugeley?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Rugeley is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Rugeley like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Rugeley. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Rugeley
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Rugeley?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Do you handle building control in Rugeley?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
