High-quality, fully managed design & build across Cheshire — Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Warrington. Fully managed design & build across Cheshire and the wider North West.
A significant structural renovation of our downstairs — removing internal walls to create a large open-plan living space, a new downstairs WC, new flooring throughout, a brand-new kitchen and patio doors. The quality of workmanship has been outstanding and the project was completed within the agreed timescales. Any minor snags were dealt with promptly, often almost immediately.
We started 2025 with a 2-storey chimney being taken out. The lads did such a good job we gave them the rest of our renovation — two small extensions, a new downstairs toilet and kitchen, upstairs bathroom, a bedroom move and renovation, finishing with a full back garden renovation. We've had many comments on how good the work looks, especially the brickwork.
We've recently had a knock-through between the lounge and dining room along with other internal and brick work. We're extremely pleased with the quality — everything finished to a high standard, the team were professional, tidy and clearly took pride in what they were doing. Communication with Craig was great throughout and they stuck to the agreed timeline.
After getting a few quotes for our kitchen, we chose Cheshire Design & Build NW and I'm glad we did. They turned up when they said they would, kept us updated, and got on with the job without any fuss. The finished kitchen looks fantastic. Reliable, respectful, and they clearly take pride in their work.
Excellent. Craig replied immediately and viewed the job. A detailed price and timeline was sent. Once the job was underway problems occurred — not Craig's fault — new plans were made and the job was done. Communication was 100%, that's important for me, and a cleaner is sent in at the end of the work. A great job done. Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant company, amazing team. Came to fit a lintel for me and brick up the outside of the house. The job was finished quickly and efficiently — very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much, highly recommend.
This company has been the best to work with in terms of professionalism and quality — not like other companies I have worked with in the past. 10/10 service 👍
Highly recommend! Craig was very reliable and the quality of workmanship was outstanding! Thank you!
Great lads, very polite, showed up on time and did a great job.

The extension and the kitchen, one team
A kitchen extension is really two projects that usually get split — a structural build and a bespoke kitchen — handed to two firms who blame each other when the units don't line up with the steel. We do both. One design-to-build team carries it from the first feasibility sketch through the groundworks, glazing and roof to the finished, plumbed-in kitchen — so the cabinetry, the island, the services and the light all land where the design said they would.
It's the work we're asked for most: opening the back of the house into a bright, open-plan kitchen-diner that actually gets used.
Rear, side-return or wrap-around
The right configuration depends on the house and the plot — we work out which at the free site visit.
- Rear kitchen extensions — the full-width extension across the back, opening the kitchen into a dining and living space.
- Side-return extensions — filling in the dead alley down the side of a Victorian or Edwardian house to widen a narrow galley kitchen.
- Wrap-around extensions — combining rear and side-return for the biggest open-plan footprint, suited to larger detached and semi-detached homes.
- Structural openings — steels and knock-throughs tying the new space into the existing house, calculated and drawn by our consultant engineer.
- Glazing & rooflights — bi-fold and sliding doors, Crittall-style screens and flat-roof lantern rooflights for a light-filled interior.
- The kitchen itself — bespoke and mid-market cabinetry, stone worktops, islands, integrated appliances, lighting and flooring, fitted by the same team.

Kitchen Extensions FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?
Many single-storey rear and side-return extensions fall under Permitted Development and don't need a full application, but there are strict size, height and boundary limits — and side-returns on terraces often need care over the party wall. We check this at the free site visit and handle a full householder planning application where one is needed.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
Every kitchen extension is individually quoted — the build, the glazing and the kitchen itself all vary widely by specification. After a free site visit we provide a fully itemised written quotation, breaking out the structural build, the kitchen and the finishes separately, with no hidden costs.
Can you design the kitchen as well as build the extension?
Yes — that's the point of a design-to-build service. We bring the kitchen design, cabinetry and worktops to you as part of the same project, or fit a kitchen you've specified elsewhere. Either way the layout is planned around the new structure, glazing and services from the start.
How long does a kitchen extension take?
Lead times typically run from several weeks to several months depending on scope, with planning and structural drawings adding time up front. We confirm a full timeline as part of the written quotation following the site visit.
Do you build kitchen extensions in Grappenhall and the Warrington suburbs?
Yes — Grappenhall, Stockton Heath, Appleton, Lymm and Walton are our home turf for kitchen extensions. They're mostly 1930s semis and detached houses where a rear or wrap-around extension opens the back of the house into a proper open-plan kitchen-diner, and we know how those properties are built.
Where do you build kitchen extensions?
Across Warrington, Cheshire and the North West — including Grappenhall, Stockton Heath, Lymm, Appleton, Walton, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Knutsford and Hale.
