Rear Extension in Walthamstow
Project Overview
This project involved a complete rear kitchen extension to maximize floor space and light. The homeowner wanted to create a brighter, open-plan living and dining area while improving the vital connection to the garden.
The Challenge
The existing property suffered from a cramped, disconnected kitchen that lacked natural light. The layout was inefficient for modern family life, leaving the client with an isolated space that didn't take advantage of their garden.
The Solution
MBT Group delivered a high-spec rear extension featuring custom structural steel insertion and expansive glazing. We reconfigured the ground floor to act as a seamless family hub, emphasizing day-to-day usability and maximizing natural light.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house extension cost in London?
The cost depends on the size of the extension, specification, structure, access, finishes and whether planning or structural work is required. After a site visit, MBT Group can provide a clearer quotation based on the property and the work involved
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Some house extensions can be carried out under permitted development rights, while others need planning permission. This depends on the size, location, property type and previous extensions. MBT Group can help guide you on the likely route before work begins.
Can I live in my home during the extension?
In many cases, yes. It depends on the scale of the work, whether services are being disrupted and how much of the property is affected. We will discuss this during the planning stage so expectations are clear
How long does a house extension take?
A typical single storey extension may take several months depending on size, complexity, approvals, weather, access and finishes. Larger wraparound or double storey extensions can take longer
