Outdoor kitchens in Uppingham: what is involved
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.
Uppingham is a hilltop market town of ironstone and limestone, with the school buildings, the High Street and the Market Place at its heart, Victorian and interwar houses on the roads out, and later estates to the north and east. Many centre properties have tight frontages or rear courtyards rather than front gardens.
We cover Uppingham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Lyddington, Seaton, Bisbrooke, Glaston, Wing, Preston, Ayston, Ridlington, Belton-in-Rutland, Caldecott and Morcott.
Ground and conservation in Uppingham
Uppingham stands on the Northampton Sand ironstone that runs down the west side of Rutland. It usually drains better than the Vale clay around Oakham, but it varies within a street and the town's slopes push water downhill, so falls and edge drainage need the same care. On the clay around Uppingham we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
The Uppingham conservation area covers the historic centre; the town itself has no Article 4 direction. Several nearby villages do, including Lyddington, Seaton, Ayston, Preston, Ridlington and Belton-in-Rutland, where front walls, gates and parking spaces can need planning permission.

Permissions in Uppingham
- PlanningAn 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. Listed buildings and the Uppingham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Rutland County Council: tree works
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
