Kitchen-diner rear extension in East Molesey
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 East Molesey and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
East Molesey is covered from our Surrey round, including KT7, KT8 and KT10. For East Molesey kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in East Molesey?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in East Molesey.
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. 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 East Molesey like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of East Molesey, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in East Molesey
Do you handle building control in East Molesey?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in East Molesey free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
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.
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 East Molesey?
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.
