What is included
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances

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.
What should I budget for a kitchen extension in Woking?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Woking we use our South East England factor (×1.12). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.
Typical rates in Woking: £2,020 to £3,920 per m² including VAT, depending on specification.
| Size | Essential | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 m × 5 m 15 m² | £30,000 – £35,500 | £35,000 – £45,000 | £44,500 – £59,000 |
| 4 m × 5 m 20 m² | £40,000 – £47,500 | £47,000 – £59,500 | £59,000 – £78,500 |

Will the council need to approve it?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Woking address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Local to Woking
Across GU21, GU22, GU23, GU24, KT14, KT15, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Weybridge (6 miles), Guildford (6 miles), Egham (8 miles), Walton-on-Thames (8 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Hampshire, Farnborough is around 9 miles away. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Your questions about a kitchen extension in Woking
Do you cover all of Woking?
Yes. We cover Woking and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Woking be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Woking, 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 much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £2,020 to £3,920 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £47,000 to £59,500 in Woking, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
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.
