Kitchen renovation in Childs Hill, from chimney breasts to extensions
Removing a chimney breast to widen a Childs Hill kitchen changes how loads travel through the house. What remains above may need support, and the breast may share a wall with next door, which can bring a party wall notice into play. Relocating the kitchen raises its own questions about drainage falls and where extract air can leave. Nothing is designed until Hampstead Renovations has seen what the breast carries and where the pipes can run.
Extending the kitchen into the garden brings the permission route forward. For a Barnet address, the council’s interactive tool shows whether planning permission is needed and explains prior approval for larger single-storey rear extensions. A lawful development certificate settles the position formally. Separate rules cover the hob: gas connections are made only by an engineer on the statutory register for gas work, whose entry we confirm before booking. A Camden address follows Camden’s guidance, so the council for the exact address is fixed first.
Kitchen units, worktops and a skip all need space at the kerb on a Childs Hill street. Barnet issues skip licences to skip hire firms rather than householders. Inside a controlled parking zone, the bay suspension is approved first and its reference is quoted on the licence application. Deliveries are then booked around the suspension, so each load arrives while the bay is held. Appliances come only when the room is ready for them.
Tell us how the kitchen is used, which walls or chimney breast you hope to remove and whether the plan includes an extension. Include the full Childs Hill address, floor level and tenure, with photographs of the room and the garden side. Hampstead Renovations prepares a written scope in which structure, drainage, gas and finishes are priced as separate lines, with provisional items marked. Our own teams then carry out the work through to handover.
