Working in Aberdare
Site visits are available across Aberdare (CF44). The same team covers Rhondda (4 miles), Merthyr Tydfil (4 miles), Tonypandy (6 miles), Gelligaer (9 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Gwent, Ebbw Vale is around 11 miles away. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
What is included
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.

Kitchen extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Aberdare, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Aberdare?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Aberdare?
Yes. We cover Aberdare and the surrounding parts of Mid Glamorgan. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
Can you fit a kitchen I buy elsewhere?
Yes. We can fit it or work with your supplier’s fitters. We need the layout early so that drains, services and lighting are in the right place.
