Covering Penarth
Postcode districts we cover around Penarth include CF64. We also work in nearby Cardiff (3 miles), Barry (5 miles), Cowbridge (12 miles).
Just over the Mid Glamorgan border, Caerphilly is about 10 miles away. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Included in a typical project
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
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.
Planning rules that apply in Penarth
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.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,670 to £3,260 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £39,000 to £49,500 in Penarth, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
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.
