Local Considerations for Solihull
Kitchen extension design in Solihull needs to account for plot orientation, garden depth and the existing property layout. Large detached often have separate kitchens and dining rooms that benefit hugely from being opened into one large space with a rear extension and bi-fold doors. Properties near Solihull town centre, Knowle village may be in areas where glazing style and materials need approval from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. South and west-facing gardens in the B90, B91, B92, B93, B94 area are particularly suited to large glazing panels that maximise natural light throughout the day.
Our Work Around Solihull
Kitchen extension projects in Solihull most commonly involve a single storey rear extension with large-format glazing — bi-fold or sliding doors — opening onto the garden. Removing the original rear wall with a structural steel beam creates the open-plan flow between kitchen, dining and living areas. Roof lanterns and skylights add natural light from above. Underfloor heating is fitted in the screed before the final floor finish. Side-return extensions on terraced and semi-detached properties recover wasted alley space for additional worktop and storage. Larger kitchen-diners on detached modern executive homes sometimes include a utility room, boot room or WC within the same extension footprint. We coordinate appliance delivery, worktop templating and kitchen fitting to align with the build programme.
