Popular Kitchen Extension Options

3 Metre Kitchen Extension

A 3 metre kitchen extension is one of the most popular choices among homeowners looking to expand without overwhelming their garden. It offers enough space for a stunning kitchen-diner while often falling under permitted development rights.

Side Return Kitchen Extension

Perfect for Victorian or Edwardian homes, a side return kitchen extension utilises the often-wasted alleyway space. Wondering about the side return kitchen extension cost? At Vergolus, we tailor quotes to your specific design and structural needs, offering competitive rates without compromising quality.

Orangery Kitchen Extension

A modular orangery extension is a modern, prefabricated structure designed to add elegant, light-filled living space to a home. Built off-site and quickly assembled, it combines traditional orangery features—like large windows and a glazed roof—with the efficiency and strength of modular construction, offering a faster, energy-efficient alternative to brick builds.

If you desire elegance and natural light, an orangery kitchen extension is ideal. Combining brick pillars with roof lanterns, orangeries create a timeless, luxurious space.

Conservatory Kitchen Extension

Our modular conservatory extensions are pre-fabricated structures built off-site and quickly assembled on-site. It offers a faster, cost-effective, and energy-efficient alternative to traditional conservatories, with minimal disruption. The Vergolus modular system can be customised to match your home, providing extra living space that’s stylish, durable, and it is Building Regulations compliant.

A conservatory kitchen extension brings the outdoors in, flooding your kitchen with light and giving a seamless connection to your garden. Vergolus ensures proper insulation and heating so your conservatory kitchen is usable all year round.

What Is an In-Frame Kitchen?

An in-frame kitchen is a traditional style of kitchen design where the cabinet doors and drawers are fitted inside a sturdy frame that is attached to the front of the cabinet carcass (the main structure). Unlike standard “lay-on” doors, which sit over the front of the unit, in-frame doors open within the frame itself — much like a classic piece of handcrafted furniture.

In-frame kitchens are renowned for their durability, timeless appearance, and premium feel, making them a popular choice for those seeking elegance and longevity.

Pros	Cons
Exceptional durability and long-lasting construction.	Generally more expensive than standard kitchens.
Timeless, traditional appearance with premium finishes.	Longer manufacturing and installation times.
Customisable to suit individual style and space requirements.	Heavier units may require stronger walls or floors.
Provides a more robust structure, less prone to warping over time.	Can be slightly less internal storage space compared to frameless kitchens.
Increases property value due to its high-end appeal.	Limited mass-market availability — mainly bespoke manufacturers.
