Budget for an open-plan kitchen-diner extension in the West Midlands.
A kitchen extension transforms how you live more than almost any other home improvement. In 2026 the West Midlands market sits at £2,200–£3,000 per m² for a standard finish, rising to £3,500/m²+ with premium glazing, structural openings, and high-spec kitchens.
