Contemporary Kitchen Extension Warrington

Project Overview

Vita Modular recently completed a large rear kitchen extension in Warrington, transforming the ground floor of a family home with a modern open-plan kitchen and dining space.

The extension measured 10 metres by 4 metres (40m²) and was designed to maximise natural light while providing a contemporary aesthetic that complements the existing property.

The project included groundworks, structural alterations and full internal fit-out, delivering a high-quality extension finished with masonry brick slip cladding and Crittall-style glazing.

The total construction value for the project was £145,420 and the works were completed in 10 weeks.

HOW WE DID IT

The Client Brief

The homeowners wanted to create a large open-plan kitchen and dining space that would become the central hub of their home.

Key objectives included:

• Creating a 40m² kitchen extension suitable for entertaining
• Installing large Crittall-style glazing to maximise natural light
• Opening the rear of the property with a wide structural opening
• Matching the extension with the existing brickwork of the house
• Adding a new ground floor WC
• Delivering a modern kitchen with durable flooring

Extension Design & Construction

The project involved constructing a 10m x 4m rear extension, significantly increasing the usable ground floor living space.

The extension was designed with a flat roof structure to create a clean architectural profile while maximising ceiling height internally.

The additional floor area provides a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining environment ideal for modern family living.

Structural Alterations

A key part of the project was forming a new 5-metre wide structural opening at the rear of the house.

This required:

• Installation of structural steel beams
• Temporary structural support during construction
• Coordination with structural engineers
• Full integration between the original house and the new extension

The opening dramatically improves natural light and flow between the house and the extension.

External Construction

External construction works included:

• Groundworks and reinforced foundations
• Structural wall construction
• Flat roof installation with insulation
• Masonry brick slip cladding to match the existing property
• Installation of Crittall-style glazing

Brick slip cladding was selected to replicate the appearance of traditional brickwork while allowing for a contemporary finish.

Internal Fit-Out

Once the structure was complete, Vita Modular delivered a full internal fit-out to create a ready-to-use kitchen and dining space.

Internal works included:

• Electrical installation and modern lighting
• Installation of luxury LVT flooring
• Kitchen supply and installation
• Construction of a new ground floor WC
• Installation of internal doors
• Plastering and full decoration

The finished extension provides a large open-plan kitchen and dining area ideal for modern family living.

How much does a house extension in Warrington cost?
This bespoke extension in Warrington came in at £145,420, covering groundworks and foundations, the structural steel frame, external cladding, roofing, a full internal fit-out, electrics and flooring. Every Vita Modular project is individually priced against survey and specification.

How long does a modular extension take to build?
This project ran for 10 weeks on site from structural works through to handover. Because the steel frame is engineered and largely prefabricated off-site, that is significantly less time on site than a traditional brick-and-block extension of the same scope.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Warrington?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under Permitted Development, depending on the size, the property and local authority rules. Vita Modular prepares the technical building-control drawings and manages the building-control process to completion; planning applications and party-wall matters are handled separately.

Is a Vita Modular extension as strong as a traditional brick build?
Yes. Our extensions are built on an engineered structural steel frame rather than timber or masonry. Every frame is calculated by a structural engineer, installed on proper foundations, and certified through an independent building-control process to completion.

What is included in the fixed price?
The fixed-price contract covers foundations, the engineered steel frame, external walls and cladding, the roof, painted walls and ceilings, electrics and lighting, LVT flooring, and Vita Modular’s design fee and building-control management — with no hidden extras.
