Kitchen Extension Builders in Fulham (SW6)
Professional kitchen extension builders in Fulham, South West London.
Why Choose All Well for Kitchen Extensions in Fulham?
Fulham kitchens are where we bring out the premium specifications. The Victorian terraces along Munster Road, Bishops Road, and towards Parsons Green have period proportions that deserve an extension to match, proper steelwork, high-quality glazing, underfloor heating, and a kitchen that's designed rather than just fitted. We've built extensions here ranging from compact side returns to full wraparounds.
Every project comes with a fixed-price contract, single project manager, and full certification including Building Control sign-off.

Kitchen Extensions Tip for Fulham Homeowners
Hammersmith and Fulham Council has extensive conservation areas across Fulham, and the planning team is particular about design quality. Extensions in conservation areas need to use materials that match or complement the existing house: stock brick, timber or Crittall-style glazing, natural slate or lead roofing. Outside conservation areas, standard permitted development is available. Fulham's London Clay subsoil requires foundations of 1.2-1.5 metres, and properties near mature trees along the Fulham Palace Road may need deeper piled foundations.
Kitchen extension types for Fulham's SW6 Victorian terraces
Three patterns cover most of what we build in Fulham, and the right one depends on your plot and what you're trying to achieve.
Wraparound and rear-only kitchen extensions in SW6
Wraparound extensions are the flagship Fulham project. The Victorian terraces along Munster Road, Bishops Road, and the streets towards Bishops Park have generous side returns and deep rear gardens that suit combined side-and-rear wraparounds of 25-40 square metres. Typical specification includes Crittall-style glazing, roof lanterns, and underfloor heating, with structural steelwork, foundations on Fulham clay, glazing, electrics, plumbing, and finishes all part of the build. Build time 14-18 weeks. Rear-only extensions of 3-4 metres are common on tighter terraces near Fulham Broadway and towards Parsons Green, 12-14 weeks. Hammersmith and Fulham's permitted development process covers the standard 3-metre rear extension on terraces.
Side return kitchen extensions on Fulham plots
Side return extensions suit properties with deep rear gardens but narrow plots, build time 10-12 weeks. Because the side return shares a boundary wall with the neighbouring property, party wall agreements are required. We handle the party wall notices as part of the project setup.
Premium glazing, finishes, and fixed-price contracts for Fulham kitchen extensions
Fulham clients typically specify the premium end of every component, and we're set up for that. Every project is fixed price, with the price confirmed after a free site visit and unchanged unless the specification does.
Glazing, kitchen, and underfloor heating specification
Glazing is usually steel-framed Crittall-style with thermally broken frames and double or triple glazing (U-value 1.2-1.4 W/m²K), supplied by Crittall, Fabco Sanctuary, or Industrial Sashes. Roof lanterns are from Atlas, Lonsdale, or Vitral. We're FENSA-registered and the registration is included in every project. Kitchen units come from a bespoke joinery supplier, customised to the extension geometry. Worktops are typically natural stone, Calacatta, Carrara, or Statuario marble, or engineered alternatives from Caesarstone or Silestone. Underfloor heating is standard, fitted to the new extension and often retrofitted to the existing kitchen and dining areas during the same project.
Building regulations sign-off and what's included in the contract
Electrics are signed off under BS 7671 by our NICEIC-registered electrician. Plumbing and gas connections are signed off under Gas Safe regulations. Building Control inspections at structure, insulation, and completion are included, and the completion certificate is delivered at handover. Fixed-price contracts cover everything: labour, materials, structural engineer calculations, FENSA registration, Building Control fees, planning fees, and any conservation area or Listed Building Consent applications. The price is confirmed after a free site visit and doesn't change unless the specification does.
Hammersmith and Fulham planning rules and foundation depths for kitchen extensions
Fulham sits under Hammersmith and Fulham Council, which is particular about design quality, especially within its conservation areas. The London Clay subsoil and the proximity of the Thames add practical considerations that need resolving before a contract is issued.
Conservation areas, permitted development, and flood risk in Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham has extensive conservation areas across the borough: Fulham Park Gardens, Studdridge Street, Hurlingham, and several others. Within these areas, exterior alterations must use materials that match or complement the existing house: stock brick, timber or Crittall-style glazing, natural slate or lead roofing. Front-facing changes are virtually never approved; rear extensions are usually approved with appropriate materials. We design to the council's published guidelines from the outset, and our submitted designs typically get approved without revisions. Properties within 200-300 metres of the Thames may sit in Flood Zone 2 and need a Flood Risk Assessment as part of the planning application. The Environment Agency's flood risk maps confirm the zone designation, and we coordinate the assessment as part of the planning process.
Foundation depths on Fulham clay and rebuilding Victorian rear additions
The London Clay subsoil in SW6 requires foundations of 1.2-1.5 metres. Properties near mature trees on Fulham Palace Road or in larger gardens may need foundations of 1.5-2.0 metres or piled foundations. The structural engineer's foundation specification is firm before we issue the contract. Many Fulham Victorian terraces have rear additions, kitchens, sculleries, outhouses, built in stages from the 1880s onwards. These are often poorly built with inadequate foundations or single-skin walls. When extending, we typically remove the existing addition and rebuild as a single coherent extension with proper foundations and structural integrity. It takes more work than building onto the existing addition but produces a significantly better long-term result.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a Fulham kitchen extension cost?
- Every project is fixed price, confirmed after a free site visit, so the figure reflects your house and specification rather than a generic rate. Wraparound extensions are the most common Fulham project, with rear-only extensions of 3-4 metres and side return only extensions also common on tighter terraces. Fulham's deeper foundations on London Clay, premium glazing and finishes, and the structural steelwork all sit inside the build. The site visit is the right place to scope what your plot needs.
- What materials does Hammersmith and Fulham accept in conservation areas?
- Materials that match or complement the existing house: stock brick, timber or Crittall-style steel-framed glazing, natural slate or lead roofing. Synthetic alternatives (uPVC windows, concrete tiles, render-on-block) are typically refused on visible elevations. Front-facing changes need particularly careful design, and Hammersmith and Fulham's planning team is particular about proportions, materials, and sympathetic style. Rear extensions and side returns are usually approved with appropriate materials. We design to the council's published guidelines from the outset and our submitted designs typically get approved without revisions.
- How deep are Fulham foundations?
- Typically 1.2-1.5 metres for standard sites, deeper near mature trees. The London Clay subsoil shrinks and swells with moisture, and proximity to mature trees (Fulham Palace Road plane trees, large suburban gardens) means clay shrinkage from tree-root moisture extraction. Properties within 1-1.5 times tree height often need foundations of 1.5-2.0 metres or piled foundations. Properties within 200-300 metres of the Thames may also need a Flood Risk Assessment. The structural engineer's foundation specification is firm before we issue the contract.
