Kitchen Extension with Skylights — North London

This stunning kitchen extension in North London is one of our flagship projects, demonstrating the full scope of what Victoria Urban Contractors can deliver — from structural groundworks to the final coat of paint.

The Brief

The client wanted to transform their cramped, dated kitchen into a bright, open-plan kitchen-dining-living space that connected seamlessly with the garden. Key requirements included maximum natural light, high-quality flooring, and a modern fitted kitchen with a central island.

What We Delivered

Rear Extension

A full-width rear extension was constructed, substantially increasing the ground-floor living space. The project included:

• New foundations and blockwork construction
• Structural steelwork (RSJs) to create an open-plan layout
• Full removal of the existing rear wall
• New insulated flat roof with three large skylights
• Full-width bi-fold doors opening onto the garden patio

Skylights

Three large roof-mounted skylights were installed into the flat roof extension, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. The skylights include electric opening mechanisms for ventilation and integrated blinds.

Herringbone Flooring

Engineered oak herringbone flooring was installed throughout the new extension and into the adjoining hallway, creating a seamless flow between spaces. The flooring was laid over underfloor heating for year-round comfort.

Fitted Kitchen

A fully bespoke kitchen was designed and fitted, featuring:

• Handleless units in a contemporary grey finish
• A generous island unit with storage, seating, and pendant lighting
• Premium stone worktops
• Integrated appliances (oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge-freezer)
• Under-cabinet LED lighting
• Full plumbing and electrical connections

The Result

The finished space is a light, airy, and supremely functional kitchen that has become the heart of the family home. The client described it as "beyond what we imagined" — and that's exactly the standard we aim for on every project.
