It depends how big the area added. Usually priced about £1800 per square metre so a 3 X 4 m room extension could cost about £22,000 plus any fancy glazing/flooring/kitchen etc

We’d want to go out from the living and dining room to the same size as the kitchen if that makes sense ...

Hi Shelwal, Garden Rooms can be a good idea. You would get your extra room and depending on what you decide on ( size/style/final use etc), most can be built under permitted development rules, so no planning permission would be required. We build ours with Structurally Insulated Panels (SIP) panels, so they are quick to erect, cheap to heat and last forever. If you would like more information, please have a look at our website http://www.jmlgardenrooms.co.uk or let me know and we can have a chat.... Kirstin @ JML Garden Rooms.

Neighbours extension wall

The rules may have changed but when we built our extension the wall adjoining our neighbour had to be completely within our own boundary. It looks as if your neighbour has continued along the party wall and therefore half the depth of the wall is on your land. It might be worth getting a chartered building surveyor to check it out as otherwise it may cause difficulties when either you or your neighbour come to sell. If I'm wrong about this maybe a professional on here could correct me. Other than that I think you should make the best of the little private courtyard it has afforded you by using plants in pots and climbers to soften the wall.

Hi David, If you could provide photos of the property that would be very helpful. Also, as jonathandb1972 said, any plans would be greatly appreciated here, so there is something to work with. If no plans available, even a crude drawing will be useful to help visualise the layout. What style would you like to achieve? (contemporary, country etc.). You said you'd like the extension to incorporate your current kitchen. What else would you like to have there, as it is going to be 2 storeys extension? Bedroom with en-suite? If you provide more information I can create couple of ideabooks for you to start with.

i have to decide on the type of sliding aluminium doors to put in. There is 900euro difference between lift and slide or ordinary sliders. The entire double slider is approx 3.5M i.e approx 1.75M per door. Just one door sliding back on a fixed pane. Has anyone got advice for me? Is there so much of a difference to warrant the extra cost? The windows come with a 15 year guarantee. Thanks in advance for any advice, Anne

can't see from pics, just work out the added area then use £1800 per sqm as a rough guide

Hi Stephanie, we recently provided a first time buyer with a budget cost estimate for similar works. The budget cost estimate provides a detailed breakdown of works and expenses as well as highlighting potential areas where you can save money. They were then able to determine whether they wanted to go ahead with the purchase of the property. If this is something of interest please send the plans and photos to hello@nestestimating.co.uk and we can provide you with a quote. We can also send you an example estimate.
