NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle house and kitchen extensions in Fulham SW6, under one contract. A rear extension runs £235 to £460 a sq ft, construction only. A side return runs £215 to £425 a sq ft. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Most Fulham houses are Victorian terraces. Behind each one runs a narrow back addition, with a passage beside it.
That passage is the side return. Filling it widens the kitchen across the whole house.
A rear extension pushes the back wall into the garden instead. A wraparound does both, in one L-shaped room.
The garden decides how far to go. We measure it first, then draw what it can give up.
What the council allows in Fulham.
- Council
- London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Kensington and Chelsea’s CD11 does not apply here.
- Permitted development
- Some single-storey rear extensions can go ahead without planning. Side and wraparound extensions in a conservation area need it.
- Conservation areas
- Parsons Green and the Peterborough Estate are among Fulham’s conservation areas. Materials and roof lines are judged closely there.
- Party walls
- A side return or rear extension usually builds on or near the shared wall. Notices go to the neighbours first, under the Party Wall Act.
- Flood risk
- Over 60% of the borough is in flood zones 2 and 3. An extension there carries a flood risk assessment.

Further reading, from the journal
Do I need planning permission for a Fulham side return?
In a conservation area, yes. Side extensions are not permitted development there.
Outside one, a small side return may not need it.
We check the house’s status before anything is drawn.
How big can a rear extension be in Fulham?
The garden and the neighbours set the limit more than any number.
We measure the plot and the light to the houses either side.
Then we draw the largest room the planners are likely to accept.
Will my neighbours need a party wall agreement for an extension?
Usually, since the extension builds on or near the shared wall.
Notices go out before work starts. Each neighbour can agree, or appoint a surveyor.
We run the process alongside the design.
What does a kitchen extension in Fulham cost?
Our 2026 cost guide puts a rear kitchen extension at £160k to £250k.
A side return runs £140k to £220k, and a wraparound £200k to £320k.
Built per square foot, a rear extension runs £235 to £460.
