Wrap Around Kitchen Extensions in South London
We build stunning wrap around kitchen extensions, adding significant space, light, and value to homes.
A wrap around is a type of extension that extends both the side and rear of a property, creating an L-shaped addition that wraps around the existing structure. We love building these as they maximise the use of available space, and provide a spacious and open-plan kitchen area that often has space to includes informal dining areas, utility rooms, and downstairs toilets.

The utility room in the L of the wrap around extension really utilises the space well.
The downstairs toilet was an essential addition for the client.
The parquet floor was laid throughout the kitchen giving warmth to the extension.
We fitted the Naked Kitchen in a week, and it's a lovely classic design.

We’ve detailed some of our favourite parts of the build to give you an idea of how you can customize your kitchen extension. Wrap arounds are versatile and can deliver great flexibility in finishes and features.

Single-Level Layout: Between the walled garden and the kitchen, ensuring a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Downstairs Toilet: We installed a convenient downstairs toilet around the corner of the L-shaped extension.
Two Large Skylights: We installed two large skylights (2m x 1.5m) to further increase the natural light.

Adam - Landells Road, East Dulwich
“Hilaj Brothers did an incredible job of our mansard roof extension in East Dulwich.
Bler and his team completed the project in 12 weeks, even with a couple of unexpected problems with the old roof structure and changes. They were on site every morning on time, kept in budget, and were great communicators. A brilliant experience.”
