Kitchen-diner rear extension in Wombourne
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Wombourne. 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 Wombourne (WV5) as part of our West Midlands work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Wombourne extend: the back kitchen in red-brick terraces and 1930s semis is rarely big enough for a table.

How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Wombourne?

| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £23,000–£37,000 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £38,000–£62,000 |

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wombourne?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Wombourne needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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 Wombourne like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Wombourne. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
