House Extensions In Chelsea
Extending a period terrace in Chelsea is rarely just a building job. Most streets fall within conservation areas, party walls are shared on both sides, and access for materials needs planning in advance. Lemon Tree Construction travels in from our base in Frimley to take on these projects, and we plan each one around the constraints of a London period home.
Rear extensions are the most common route to extra space. A single-storey rear extension on a terrace can sometimes be built under permitted development up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall, but conservation area rules often change that, and side or two-storey additions usually need consent. We prepare drawings and applications to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and serve party wall notices on your neighbours.
Can you live in a house during an extension in Chelsea? Often you can, particularly with a rear extension, because the main structural work happens at the back of the house. We agree with you which rooms stay in use and when the breakthrough into the new space will happen, so daily life carries on as normally as possible.
For budgeting, a single-storey build typically costs £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre, plus a 10 to 15% contingency and VAT at 20%. A new kitchen-diner in Chelsea is also one of the improvements that adds the most value, so it is worth getting the layout right. Your itemised quote sets out structure, glazing, roofing and finishes separately, and our team stays with the project through to building regulations sign-off.
