Kitchen-diner rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design, get the approvals for and build kitchen-diner rear extensions in Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Stoke-on-Trent and its postcode districts ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4 are part of our Staffordshire coverage. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Stoke-on-Trent extend: the back kitchen in post-war semis and estate houses is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent follows the English householder rules.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Stoke-on-Trent like to extend?
Stoke-on-Trent has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Stoke-on-Trent
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.
Do you handle building control in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
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.
Is the site visit in Stoke-on-Trent free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
