HOW WE DID IT

The Client Brief

The homeowners wanted to replace their small, outdated kitchen with a large open-plan kitchen and dining area that would become the main hub of the home. Their key objectives included:

• Creating a bright kitchen diner extension suitable for entertaining
• Opening the rear of the property with a wide structural opening
• Installing a modern kitchen with tiled flooring
• Achieving a clean contemporary external finish
• Ensuring the extension blended naturally with the existing property

A wrap around extension design was selected to maximise internal floor area while improving the connection between the house and garden.

Extension Design & Construction

The project involved constructing a 7m x 4m wrap around extension that significantly increased the usable living space on the ground floor of the property.

Structural Alterations

A key part of the project was forming a new 7‑metre wide structural opening at the rear of the house. This required the installation of structural steel beams, temporary support during construction and coordination with structural engineers. The new opening dramatically improved natural light and created a seamless transition between the original house and the new extension

External Construction

The extension was constructed using durable materials designed to complement the existing home. External construction works included:

• Full groundworks and foundations
• Structural wall construction
• Flat roof installation
• High-performance insulation
• Silicone render external finish

Silicone render was selected for its modern appearance, durability and low maintenance.

Internal Fit-Out

Once the structure was completed, Vita Modular delivered a full internal fit-out to create a ready-to-use kitchen diner space. Internal works included:

• Electrical installation throughout the extension
• Modern LED lighting
• Tiled flooring installation
• Kitchen supply and installation
• New internal doors
• Full plastering and decoration

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

How much does a house extension in Milton Keynes cost?
This bespoke extension in Milton Keynes came in at £95,420, 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 6 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 Milton Keynes?
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.
