Planning and Design

Before you start any construction, it’s essential to have a clear plan and design in place. Consider your budget, available space, and your desired outcome. It’s a good idea to think about the type of materials you want to use, the layout of your kitchen, roofing, heating, flooring and how much natural light you want to let in.

Building Regulations

It’s important to make sure that your kitchen conservatory extension complies with local building regulations. Conservatories fall under permitted development rights so you may need to obtain planning permission, especially if you live in a conservation area or listed building.

Materials

The materials you use for your kitchen conservatory extension will play a crucial role in its durability and aesthetics. Consider using high-quality, energy-efficient materials that can withstand the changing weather conditions, such as uPVC, aluminium, timber and double-glazed windows. You may also want to consider using glass roofs to allow more natural light into your kitchen.

Ventilation

An important consideration for a kitchen conservatory extension is ventilation. The kitchen area generates heat, steam, and cooking odours that can quickly build up in an enclosed space. Proper ventilation will help to eliminate these problems and create a comfortable living space.

Functionality

When designing your kitchen conservatory extension, consider its functionality. Think about the layout of your kitchen, the storage space you need, and the appliances you want to include. Consider whether you want an open plan kitchen, a kitchen island, a breakfast bar, and how you want to incorporate these features into your design.

By following our guide, you can build and design your dream, modern kitchen conservatory extension that suits your style and requirements.
