Are you dreaming of a bigger kitchen? Want more space to cook, eat and hang out with family? Our kitchen extension services in Derby can make that dream come true!
At Derby Kitchen Fitter, we know how important your kitchen is. It's the heart of your home where memories are made. But if your kitchen feels cramped or outdated, we can help transform it into something special.
Our team has been building kitchen extensions across Derby and surroundings like Long Eaton, Borrowash, and Sandiacre for over 10 years. We handle everything from start to finish - design, planning permission, building work, and fitting your beautiful new kitchen.
Why Choose a Kitchen Extension?
A kitchen extension gives you more than just extra space. Here's why Derby homeowners love them:
- Creates a bigger, more usable cooking area
- Opens up your home for modern family living
- Adds natural light with windows and skylights
- Boosts your property value (potentially 20-25% more!)
- Cheaper than moving to a bigger house
Our customers in Ilkeston, Heanor and Ripley tell us their kitchen extensions have changed how they live. Imagine family meals in a spacious kitchen-diner or entertaining friends in your open-plan kitchen-living space!
Kitchen Extension Ideas for Derby Homes
Every home in Derby is different, and we'll work with you to design the perfect kitchen extension. Here are some popular options:
Single Storey Kitchen Extensions
The most common type we build in Derby. Perfect for creating an open-plan kitchen-diner that leads to your garden. Our recent projects in Beeston and Carlton have transformed traditional houses with stunning single storey extensions.
Rear Kitchen Extensions
Extend into your back garden to create a spacious family hub. We can add bi-fold doors to connect your new kitchen to the outdoors - brilliant for summer BBQs! Our rear kitchen extensions in Nottingham and Derby have completely changed how families use their homes.
Side Return Kitchen Extensions
Got unused space at the side of your house? We can turn it into valuable kitchen space! Side return extensions are popular in terraced houses around Derby city centre, creating surprising amounts of extra room.
Small Kitchen Extensions
Even adding 1-2 metres can transform your kitchen. We've completed small kitchen extensions in Borrowash that made a massive difference without taking too much garden space.
L-Shaped Kitchen Extensions
Combine a rear and side extension for maximum space. Creates an amazing open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Our L-shaped kitchen extension projects in Derby have become the envy of the neighbourhood!
Kitchen Conservatory Extensions
Bring the outdoors in with a light-filled conservatory extension. Perfect for creating a bright dining area connected to your kitchen. We've built beautiful kitchen conservatory extensions in Ripley that look stunning all year round.
Glass Kitchen Extensions
Create a wow factor with floor-to-ceiling glass. These modern extensions flood your kitchen with natural light. Our glass kitchen extensions in Alfreton feature the latest energy-efficient glazing.
Kitchen Orangery Extensions
A more substantial alternative to a conservatory with a lantern roof and solid corners. Gives a luxury feel to your extended kitchen. Our orangery kitchen extensions in Derby suburbs have transformed ordinary homes into something special.
Kitchen Extension Cost in Derby
The question everyone asks first: how much will it cost? Kitchen extension prices in Derby vary depending on:
- Size of the extension
- Type of extension
- Quality of materials and finishes
- Complexity of the design
- Ground conditions on your property
As a rough guide, our kitchen extensions in Derby typically cost:
- Small kitchen extension (10-15m²): £25,000-£40,000
- Medium kitchen extension (15-20m²): £40,000-£55,000
- Large kitchen extension (20-30m²): £55,000-£80,000
These prices include design, building work, plastering, electrics, plumbing, and basic decoration - not the kitchen units themselves. Every project is unique, so we'll give you an exact quote after visiting your home.
Our Kitchen Extension Process
When you choose Derby Kitchen Fitter for your kitchen extension, we make the process as smooth as possible:
1. Free Consultation
We'll visit your Derby home, listen to your ideas, and discuss what's possible. Our experts can suggest options you might not have considered and help you get the most from your budget.
2. Design & Plans
Our designers create detailed kitchen extension plans showing exactly how your new space will look. We use 3D drawings so you can visualise the finished extension before work starts.
3. Kitchen Extension Planning Permission
Many kitchen extensions in Derby fall under 'permitted development' rights, meaning you don't need planning permission. But if your extension is large or you live in a conservation area (like parts of Duffield), you'll need approval.
Don't worry - we handle all the paperwork! We submit planning applications, deal with building regulations, and make sure everything's legal. We've got great relationships with Derby City Council planning department.
4. The Build
Our skilled builders will construct your extension with minimal disruption. We keep mess contained, work considerate hours, and try to keep your kitchen usable for as long as possible during the build.
5. Kitchen Installation
Once the extension is built, we install your new kitchen. As kitchen fitting specialists, we take extra care to ensure everything is perfect - from cabinets and worktops to plumbing and electrics.
6. Final Touches
We complete all decoration, flooring, lighting and finishing touches. Then we thoroughly clean up and invite you to inspect your amazing new kitchen extension!
Kitchen Extension Designs That Work
When planning your kitchen extension in Derby, consider these design tips:
- Open-plan layouts - Remove internal walls to create flowing spaces
- Bi-fold doors - Connect your kitchen to the garden
- Roof lanterns - Bring in natural light from above
- Kitchen islands - Create a focal point for cooking and socialising
- Zoning - Define cooking, dining and living areas with lighting and flooring
We've helped hundreds of Derby homeowners create their dream kitchen extensions. Our designs combine practicality with the wow factor!
Kitchen Extension Before and After
The transformation is always incredible! Take our recent project in Long Eaton - we turned a cramped, dark kitchen into a stunning open-plan space that doubled the ground floor living area. The family now has a beautiful kitchen-diner where they spend most of their time.
Or the Victorian terrace in Derby where we added a side return extension. The narrow, outdated kitchen became a light-filled family hub with space for cooking, dining and relaxing.

Do I Need Planning Permission for a Kitchen Extension in Derby?
It depends on the size and location of your extension. Generally, in Derby:
- Single-storey rear extensions can extend up to 3m (or 4m for detached houses) without planning permission
- Side extensions can be up to half the width of the original house
- Extensions must use similar materials to your existing house
- Height restrictions apply (no higher than 4m)
- Different rules apply in conservation areas or for listed buildings
We'll advise you on planning requirements during our initial visit. If permission is needed, we'll handle the whole process - drawing up plans, submitting applications, and dealing with any queries from the council.
How Long Does a Kitchen Extension Take?
Typical time frames for our Derby kitchen extensions are:
- Planning and design: 4-6 weeks
- Getting planning permission (if needed): 8-10 weeks
- Building the extension: 8-12 weeks
- Installing the kitchen: 1-2 weeks
So from the first meeting to the finished extension, allow 4-6 months. We'll give you a detailed timeline at the start of your project and keep you updated throughout.
Will a Kitchen Extension Add Value to My Property?
Absolutely! A well-designed kitchen extension is one of the best investments you can make in your Derby home. Estate agents tell us a quality kitchen extension can add 20-25% to your property value.
Beyond the financial return, our clients in areas like West Bridgford and Beeston say their kitchen extensions have transformed family life. The extra space and light makes everyday living more enjoyable.
Can I Live at Home During a Kitchen Extension Project?
Yes, most families stay at home during kitchen extensions. We try to keep disruption to a minimum by:
- Setting up a temporary kitchen when possible
- Keeping dust and mess contained
- Working considerate hours
- Maintaining access to essential facilities
There will be some noise and disruption, but our team are known for being tidy and respectful. We understand we're working in your home, not just on a building site.
