Kitchen Renovations & Extensions in Essex

While our core strength lies in construction, we recognise the importance of seamless collaboration. We have a network of trusted architects and designers we can recommend to assist with your project’s initial design and planning stages. We’ll work closely with these professionals to ensure a smooth transition into construction and that your vision is fully realised.

Transparent pricing and proactive cost management are cornerstones of our approach. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote upfront, outlining all anticipated costs. Throughout the project, we’ll closely monitor expenses, track any changes or additions, and communicate with you transparently to ensure your project stays within budget.

We believe in open and transparent communication. You’ll receive regular updates on your project’s progress, including detailed reports, photos, and on-site visits as needed. We also encourage open dialogue throughout the build, so you’re always aware of what’s happening and can address any questions or concerns promptly.

Yes, every project at Belvia has a dedicated project manager who will serve as your main point of contact. Your project manager will oversee the entire process, ensuring seamless coordination, clear communication, and timely execution. They’ll be readily available to answer your questions, address any concerns, and keep you informed every step of the way.

We take environmental responsibility seriously. We manage waste disposal in accordance with all local regulations and industry best practices. We strive to minimise waste wherever possible and recycle or repurpose materials whenever feasible. We’ll ensure your site remains clean and organised throughout the project, and we’ll leave your property in pristine condition upon completion. We will discuss any skip requirements with you before starting the project.

In many cases, you won’t need planning permission for a kitchen extension if it falls under permitted development. This usually covers single-storey extensions that stay within set limits, for example, extending no more than 3 metres from the rear of a semi-detached/terraced home or 4 metres from a detached home, keeping the height within limits, using similar materials, and ensuring the extension doesn’t take up more than half of your garden.

However, you will need planning permission if you’re planning something larger or more complex, such as extending beyond these limits, adding another storey, altering the roof significantly, or building in a restricted area.

If you’re unsure whether your plans qualify as permitted development, it’s best to check with your local council or speak to a member of our team who can advise you based on your specific requirements and layout. Even when planning permission isn’t required, building regulations approval will still be needed before work starts.

Absolutely! We can work with your existing layout or completely reconfigure the space. During the consultation, our designers will assess what works best for your needs and budget.

Kitchen extensions can vary greatly in price, with the cost being dependent on the size, specifications, and structural requirements. Get in touch with a member of our team for a free quotation.

Kitchen renovations can typically be completed in 3-6 weeks, while extensions and more complex projects can take 8-20 weeks. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline when we take on the project.
