Kitchen extensions are the most popular reason people choose to extend their properties.
Whether it’s to enhance the experience of cooking, allow an auxiliary dining area for family evening meals or create a merged kitchen–diner for hosting a special social occasion, they’re a great way to maximise the potential of your home and get the most enjoyment out of it.
As well as adding more space it can also increase the value of your home, if you decide to sell, too.
But in order to get it right, emphasis needs to be on the design. Poor design, and you’ll end up with an incomplete extension causing a hole in your head and your wallet. Good design, and it’ll be the best home improvement you’ve ever made.
This is vitally important since not only will the finished kitchen likely form the focal point of the home, but because making changes to the layout and design once the initial project is completed can prove difficult and expensive.
Here at Chaudhary Construction Company Ltd., we are experts at building various types of extensions all over Hampshire and the UK.
But before beginning your building project, it is imperative to have a think about your living requirements, and what types of extension would fit into your space.

What type of kitchen extension do I need?
Kitchen extension 1010 – don’t dive right in without doing the research.
Kitchen extension costs can be relatively high, and with the multitude of different extension types and styles to choose from, it’s vital to work out which will suit your project best.
Here’s just a small selection of the types of extensions you could opt for, including a rear and side extension, small extension, conservatory or roof extension, bifold doors, single story extension and many more.
Rear and Side Extension
A rear and side extension is typically carried out on detached properties.
As the name suggests, they extend out from the back and side(s) of your property to create an open plan living space. Not only do they extend the size of your house, but they can completely transform its look and feel.
Like any project the cost of a rear and side extension depends on its size, but on Hampshire properties it varies between £30,000–£40,000.
Small Extension
If you don’t have much outer space but are craving that little bit more wiggle room inside your home, a small extension may be perfect for you.
These types of extension allow for the installation of sky lights and the ability to add a little personality to your kitchen.
Plan for around £1,500 per m² for building work for a basic single storey small extension.
Bi-Fold Doors
Looking to bring the outdoors in and improve the flow of your home?
Bi-fold doors open fully to connect your kitchen, extension and garden, which will allow guests to flow through your new-found space while letting in more light as a result. It’s no surprise they are one of the UK’s most popular home improvements.
The cost of bi-fold doors depends on how many glazed panes you require and the type of finish you want to achieve. The more elaborate your project, the more you’ll pay.
