We had a side return and rear kitchen extension added to our ground floor Victorian terraced flat winter 22/23. Roman is clearly very experienced and a safe pair of hands for this type of project, and along with Isabelle in the office there was great communication throughout. The build team worked hard and to a high standard in challenging conditions. The project came in on budget as per the original quote, although there were a few extras that weren’t in the original quote and that we hadn’t accounted for. Completion was a bit behind schedule but this was largely due to a more complex than originally envisioned garden excavation, poor site access and atrocious weather. Overall delighted with the result and would recommend.

I had a fantastic experience working with The London Kitchen Extension company on my home. At the beginning, I felt stressed about the overall project (it was my first) but the team's professionalism was truly impressive and they gained my trust as they progressed with the project. I can't thank them enough for taking this off my shoulders and for such a pleasant result. It's been nearly 2 years since completion and last week they followed up with the service visit. I will use TLKE again. THANK YOU

In 2020 I got this company to build a kitchen extension. Initially I wrote a glowing review for them, but had to withdraw it after their site manager shouted at me whilst doing some extra work for me. What I will say is that after you have paid them, they have little interest and their 6 year guarantee counts for nothing. They don't answer the phone, respond to messages left or emails sent. Recently, I had a problem with the dishwasher and the engineer sent to repair it, could not get it out. They refused to do this and I had to get someone else to do it. Turns out they had put in screws through the side of the dishwasher, not where they were supposed to go, with one at the top and another at the bottom, behind the plinth. Even after removing these, the dishwasher would not come out and it turns out the back of the dishwasher had welded onto the plug for the dishwasher as it was behind the dishwasher in the middle. They finally came to look at it and immediately declared there was no health or safety issue. The wiring was done by the general builders and not a qualified electrician and the same for the gas works, although they got someone to check and provide certificates. The smoke alarm pings whenever the lights are on in that area and not at any other times. Having changed the battery 5 times, this is still a problem, that they are dismissive about. I also feel that, being a woman on my own, their treatment of me has been worse because of this.

The trader replied (on 02/08/2024)
Thank you for your review and for bringing these issues to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the negative experiences you have had. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to resolving issues. However, the requested work does not fall under our service and post-build aftercare. At the time of installation, it was highlighted that the quality of the cabinets and overall design were poor, and we had to make amendments to ensure functionality. Since you reported the issues, we have inspected the site and discussed how we can help. We understand you were happy with our work upon completion over four years ago. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we ensured your project was completed, especially when others failed to do so. You have been a satisfied customer overall, and we are sorry to hear your recent experiences have altered your perception of our company. The electrical and gas works were carried out safely and in accordance with regulations. The smoke alarm issue can be resolved by changing the batteries. We honour our warranty and service commitments. However, we referred you to a third party this time because the requested work, such as pulling out a broken appliance, is not part of our service or warranty. We assure you we value all our customers equally regardless of their gender and will strive to improve our communication and customer service. Thank you for your feedback.

Compared to there competitors they are affordable and of high quality. In our experience they are the finest in there field. We would always prefer to work with them. They are personable, friendly and have exceptional attention to detail.

We thoroughly recommend this company! We had The London Kitchen Extensions run a slightly larger kitchen extension project in 2022-2023 in Streatham. Very professionally run and we really appreciated the attention to detail by both Roman and the team on site. Builders were on site, on time every day for the duration of the project. Because the team only does kitchen extensions and between them have done hundreds they weren't fazed by any of the variations you inherently get. Also worth noting, the build was executed in tight compliance with an external building control process giving an extra level of comfort. We added in some smaller and bigger wishes along the way which were approached and discussed with an open mind. We got everything we asked for delivered in a good solid way that'll last a long time.

Ground floor side-return kitchen extension to a Victorian Terraced House. The contract included structural design, installation of under-floor heating, alternations to plumbing and electrics, creation of new patio and containing walls and all finishes including oak flooring, complete decoration and kitchen installation. The experience with LKE was very positive overall. Their approach to the build was professional and straight-forward. There were weekly meetings to discuss progress and a single point of contact if we needed it. All costs were included in the main contract. Additions and variations requested by us, were handled by e-mail approval. We lived in the house during the work. LKE made this as comfortable as possible with a good temporary kitchen in another room, protection for all hall and stairs and complete isolation of the upstairs with a temporary door. The build ran over by a number of weeks due to the delayed delivery of 2 internal doors and some problems with the supply of separately ordered kitchen units. It was delivered on budget. I would not hesitate to recommend LKE.

We had a kitchen side return extension that involved replacing the floor in the kitchen, relocating the mains drainage and creating a steel frame to support a glass roof that ran the length of the return space. The work was done to a very high standard and we are delighted with the end result. The job took about 6 weeks longer than expected, but much of that was because we added additional work to the garden and removed two chimney breasts. Communications were generally good and we had frequent meetings with the foreman and company owner. The company is obviously very experienced at this kind of work and we didn't encounter any surprises along the way. Even the original budget turned out to be pretty much spot on.

Roman and his team built our wrap round single story extension, incorporating a new shower room, utility and open plan kitchen/living area. We are delighted with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend this company to you. The whole team were extremely professional, skilled, polite and punctual and the build process was steady and disciplined. We also appreciated the level of engagement, of communication and expert advice given throughout the project, particularly when we encountered some structural problems which required additional management. The whole project was to budget, allowing contingency for the additional works, which also added to the timescale. Projects of this scale are not without stress, but our experience was an extremely positive one thanks to this professional team.

Very pleased with my new kitchen extension, project went well from start to finish. The architect drew a great design, gable roof, perfectly in proportion. The work kicked off on schedule, and completed pretty much on schedule despite the fact we added on new scope (the team at LKE were happy to accommodate increased scope which was very helpful!). The work was delivered on budget too. I'm very pleased with the quality, no issues and everything looks spot on. Roman brought much experience and helped us consider things we would have missed in terms of design. Isabelle is always contactable and on hand to support if needed. Yaro and Andri did a fantastic job on the build. Not cheap but also not overpriced (based on other quotes we got). I'm pleased we didn't opt for something cheaper and of unknown quality. Would definitely recommend

Roman is a delightful man. Calm and knowledgeable and - importantly for us - never shy to offer his opinion of how the extension should be built - so involve him early - let him opine on the plans. Pawel was our foreman and a more passionate and conscientious guy you won't find. He has a team of highly skilled and hard working guys that will get the job done on time and at a high standard. Pawel is never wrong - so be careful - but treat him fairly and you will get 100% loyalty back. He is also extremely good at appeasing and involving neighbours - something hugely important. Isabelle in the office is the glue that holds it all together. Highly efficient and you will get to love her spreadsheets! Their payment schedule is easy to understand and follow and she can be trusted what you have to pay and when. She is also highly skilled at dealing with third party vendors. Let her do it - she is good at it. The guys are incredibly tidy and everyone likes that. They also won't leave a large snagging list as everything is done perfectly. One of the best companies in the business. Not cheap, but you will never want for quality.

We undertook a side and back return on our Victorian terraced house in Balham - this was a single story kitchen extension. As well as this, we extended our bathroom at the top of the house. I received 3 quotes, and Roman was marginally the cheapest, and broke down his cost very well. The work was completed on budget, a couple of weeks over schedule, but this wasn't a huge problem. The work was completed to a good standard, and in general we're really happy with the work!
