GS Renovation fits kitchens in Dartford, from a replacement within the existing footprint through to a kitchen built into a new rear extension. The building work, the first fix and the units are run as one programme by one contractor, so the gaps between trades are somebody's responsibility. Abdelaaziz Saaid brings over 30 years of hands-on experience, and quotations are free and carry no obligation.
A kitchen extension in Dartford is judged first on its depth
Depth is where the planning conversation starts. The Dartford Plan to 2037 states that single storey extensions to the rear of semi-detached and terraced properties should generally not be greater than 3.5 metres in depth on a common boundary. A larger extension has to be demonstrated to have no adverse impact. That figure sets the shape of the room before a single unit is chosen.
It matters more to a kitchen than to a general living space. An island needs clear width around it, a run of units needs an uninterrupted wall, and appliances need to sit near the drainage and the gas. Settling the extension depth first, then laying the kitchen out inside it, avoids a plan that only works on paper. We build to the approved drawings.
Who the kitchen is for changes what it should cost
The answer moves the specification further than the room size does. The Dartford Plan to 2037 records 2021 census data on tenure in the borough. Owner occupied and mortgaged properties make up approximately two thirds of the housing stock, with private rented at 18.1 per cent and social rented at 13.8 per cent. A kitchen for a house you intend to live in for fifteen years is a different specification from one going into a let.
We will say which is which at the quotation stage. Solid worktops, soft close hinges and integrated appliances earn their money in a home you are keeping. In a rental, durability and easy replacement matter more than finish. The carcasses, the worktop and the appliances are the three decisions that move the price, so we set them out separately and you can see what each one costs.
- Wall removal between the kitchen and dining room
- Pantry, larder and utility room integration
- Waste, water and gas runs moved before the units are set
- Plumbing, electrics and appliance integration
- Tiling, flooring and feature lighting
