Builder & Building Contractor — Slough
Builders in Slough For Kitchen Extensions and Home Renovations
Slough's housing stock is predominantly built between the 1920s and the 1970s, reflecting the town's rapid industrial growth during those decades. The 1930s produced large swathes of semi-detached houses — many with bay windows and side returns — across Langley, Farnham Royal, and Cippenham. These properties often have brick cavity walls and tile-pitched roofs that are well suited to structural extensions. Post-war council and private estate development in Chalvey and Britwell brought more modest semis and terraces. Langley in particular has a mix of larger inter-war detached homes alongside the semis, and property values here have risen steadily.
Rear kitchen extensions on 1930s semis are the dominant project type in Slough. These properties typically have a kitchen at the back of the house with a side return and a rear garden of reasonable depth — the classic arrangement for a side-return or rear single storey extension. Homeowners in Langley and Farnham Royal where values are higher are often willing to invest in open-plan extensions with large format glazing. Garage conversions are also popular on the semis and detached properties that retain integral or attached garages.

Kitchen Extension in Slough
A kitchen extension is the most popular and highest-value project we deliver in Slough. Whether you want to extend the rear of the house to open the kitchen onto the garden, fill a side return, or create a full L-shape open-plan kitchen/dining space, we manage the full process from planning assessment through to Building Regulations Completion Certificate.
Slough Borough Council administers planning across the town. Most residential streets in Slough operate under standard national permitted development rules, making single storey rear extensions relatively straightforward. Some roads in Langley approach the edge of Green Belt land around Colnbrook and Poyle, which can restrict extension to the rear on those specific plots. Party wall issues are common on the closely built 1930s semi streets and should be factored into the pre-build programme.
