Kitchen Extension in Haringey | RCB Design & Build
Kitchen extensions remain the single most popular renovation in Haringey — typically a 25–35 m² rear or side-return scheme combined with knocking through to the existing reception room. RCB Design & Build delivers kitchen extension projects right across Haringey (N8) from our Dartford base — typically on site within 48 hours of enquiry, with a fixed written quotation in 5 working days. Our typical kitchen extension project in Haringey costs between £63,000 and £138,000 in 2026, with most Victorian and Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis landing around £100,500. We are FMB, TrustMark, Checkatrade and TrustATrader accredited and operate as a Principal Contractor under CDM 2015.
Crouch End and Muswell Hill carry strong demand for high-spec rear extensions, full refurbs and mansard lofts. Working out of London Borough of Haringey's area, we know the planners, the local building inspectors, and the named conservation officers — that personal relationship cuts weeks off the consenting timeline. Our typical Haringey project is on Victorian and Edwardian terraces within easy reach of Finsbury Park or Crouch End Broadway, and we work with a small panel of trusted London-area subcontractors we have used for years.
What's included in our kitchen extension price
Foundations, steel beam(s) for knock-through, single-storey extension build-up, structural glazing or aluminium sliding doors, screed, MVHR or trickle ventilation, first-fix M&E. Second-fix kitchen units and worktops are supplied by the client to your chosen designer's spec. Our written quotation covers labour, first-fix materials, project management, scaffolding, skips, Building Control fees and statutory inspections. Second-fix materials (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, tiles, paint, sanitaryware) are supplied by the client as a deliberate cost-control measure — this typically saves homeowners £8,040–£15,075 in trade markup. We exclude planning fees, party-wall surveyor fees and structural engineer drawings, which we coordinate at cost.
Haringey planning, party walls and Building Regs
Crouch End and Muswell Hill conservation areas have strict design rules — bay-window pattern, roof pitch and material must match. The single biggest decision is glazing — full structural sliding doors, a roof lantern, or a corner glazed bay. Each drives the structural and thermal envelope. Note that Haringey has multiple conservation areas — design must match prevailing materials, roof shape and fenestration. Party Wall Awards are typically needed for any excavation within 3 metres of a shared wall — we coordinate the surveyor and serve notices. Building Control is lodged at the start, with inspections at foundation, damp-course, pre-plaster and completion stages.
Timeline and process for Haringey projects
Kitchen extensions run 10–14 weeks on site, with the kitchen fit happening in the final 2 weeks. We schedule cooker, sink and fridge final positions early to lock the MEP first fix. We hold a weekly call with the client throughout, send a written progress report with photos every Friday, and the lead PM is always reachable on WhatsApp. From N8 postcodes we can have someone on site within 48 hours of a phone call.
Guarantees and after-care
Every project we deliver in Haringey is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Where we install manufacturer-warranted systems (roofing membranes, windows, MVHR), the manufacturer warranty (typically 10–25 years) runs alongside. As an FMB member we can also arrange an FMB-backed 2-year insurance warranty on qualifying Haringey schemes — worth considering for any project above £50,000.
