Outdoor kitchens

What it is

We build outdoor kitchens on a proper base: block or stone-faced counters with weatherproof worktops, space for a grill, pizza oven, sink and fridge, and the gas, power and water brought out safely.

Outdoor kitchens

Built like a building

An outdoor kitchen weighs a lot and has to cope with frost, so it goes on its own concrete base with the ducts for gas, power and water laid before the paving. That way nothing has to be dug up later.

Outdoor kitchens

Pair it with a pergola

Under a louvred pergola an outdoor kitchen works in the rain too. We plan the two together so the grill has the clearance and ventilation it needs.

Planning

Do you need planning permission?

An outdoor kitchen in a rear garden does not normally need planning permission. A roof or pergola over it has to meet the outbuilding height and size limits. Gas work must be done by a Gas Safe engineer, and new outdoor circuits are notifiable electrical work. Planning Portal: outbuildings

“Connor and the team recently completed our resin driveway in Bletchley. From going through the design with us and even making pictures so we could see how it looked, to the install and the aftercare, it has all been perfect. Thanks again.”

“Milton Keynes Driveways & Landscaping have just finished our full garden makeover in Milton Keynes. We had a porcelain patio, composite decking and raised sleeper beds. They arrived on time, kept my home clean and the garden looks terrific. They are coming back to do our block paved driveway soon.”

Questions

Things people ask us

How much does a outdoor kitchen cost?
A built-in outdoor kitchen with cabinets, worktop and space for appliances starts from about £6,000. A fully equipped kitchen with a grill, pizza oven, sink and fridge is typically £8,000–£20,000. Gas, power and water connections are priced on top.
Can an outdoor kitchen go under a pergola?
Yes, and it is the best way to use one in British weather. Grills need clearance and ventilation, so we plan the layout with the pergola.
Do I need gas?
No. Many grills and pizza ovens run on bottled gas, charcoal or wood. A fixed gas supply is neater but must be fitted by a Gas Safe engineer.
