Kitchen-diner rear extension in Wolverhampton
Thinking about a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wolverhampton? An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
We cover Wolverhampton (WV2, WV3, WV4 and WV6) as part of our West Midlands work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wolverhampton follows the English householder rules.
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 Wolverhampton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Wolverhampton. 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 Wolverhampton
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wolverhampton?
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 fit the kitchen?
Yes, whether you buy it yourself or we supply it. We take the measurements from the built shell, not the drawings.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Wolverhampton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
