March 31, 20188 yr Might be a bit of a long shot without anyone actually seeing it but would anyone on here be able to guess at a guide price? Conservatory is about 18ft x 12ft so extension would be about the same size I know that we would have to start from scratch as there's no way that the foundations could cope and I know that we would have to get permission from the council Would also want those Velux-type windows in the tiled roof to allow more light in At the moment it's just a guide price I'm after to see if it's summat that would be able to afford in the near future. I wouldn't be able to guess to the nearest £10K tbh
March 31, 20188 yr Here you go. Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're after https://www.guardianroofsnationwide.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs5ea1IWX2gIVKLftCh2AHwt2EAAYASAAEgJtIPD_BwE
March 31, 20188 yr Author You are looking at around 30 grand give or take my friend Cheers. Way more expensive than I thought Sure I've seen people that put a 'proper' roof on the existing conservatory Thanks mick. No, that's not what I'm after. I was actually thinking of getting rid of a lot of the glass and turning it into a proper extension. The current "roof" is really good at protecting from the sun in summer and keeping the cold out in winter. Just thinking of turning the whole kitchen/conservatory that we've got into a big kitchen/diner
March 31, 20188 yr I'd have said nearer 20k Be prepared to wait 6 months for a builder Pm C86 its his game
March 31, 20188 yr Contact him sooner rather than later He will prob ask for some info then tell you your options
March 31, 20188 yr Bloody hell, we're looking at 50k plus for ours & no knocking a conservatory down.
March 31, 20188 yr My brother had it done I’m sure it cost them about £25,000 that did not include any fixtures
March 31, 20188 yr While we are at it, what we talking ball park figure for a loft conversion with stair case and two velux? Thanks
March 31, 20188 yr I was quoted £30k for a 29ft x 12ft single story extension and that included pilings and a £3k allowance for bifold doors so yours sounds a touch pricey. There were some extras that i'd have to pay for such as central heating etc
April 1, 20188 yr Jesus. I'm staying in my caravan I had you living in an anarcho vegan squat somewhere.

I wouldn't be able to guess to the nearest £10K tbh Tbh your foundations should be ok, do you know who did the Conny? You may not need planning, first of all speak to your local planning office. You may be ok with oversized development, gotta be done by May 2019. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/17/extensions I'm moving jobs and will be working for a company that makes both conservatory and solid roofs. Timed it right, I need a couple for mine.
April 1, 20188 yr We are currently building an orangery at the back of ours, 6m x 10m = 60m2 Sounds like yours is going to be 4m x 6m = 24m2 If you go to a builder as a one stop shop they will usually start at £1,000 - £1,500 per m2 + VAT (depending on finish) You can bring the cost down by project managing yourself and bringing in separate Brickie’s, joiners, Roofer’s, sparks etc. That way you can find guys under the £85k VAT threshold and save 20% on your labour costs. The builder also tends to charge an extra 20% on top of all the sub contractors costs as his ‘project management’ fee. A lot cheaper running the project yourself but you have the headache of managing it then though If you don’t need to re dig the foundations your on to a winner as that will save you about £5k. I bet the building inspector will want to see a couple of test pits dug out though so they can see what the current footings are like. With regards brickwork the general rule of thumb is £100 / m2 for brick and block with insulation. You then need your joiner to put a timber frame on it so the roofer can do his stuff, that’s about £1,500 to £2k. If your roof pitch is below 15o then you can’t have velux windows, you might as well do a flat roof with a lantern if that’s the case. The roof will likely cost you between £1.5k and £2.5k depending on what materials you go with. A plasterer will then cost you roughly the same again for that size room. Depending on what’s going in the room will determine the cost of plumbing and electrical. If it’s just a few lights, sockets and a radiator then it shouldn’t cost the earth Bi folds will be about £3k for 3m fitted if you shop around P.s C86 was a great source of info for me Edited April 1, 20188 yr by birch-chorley
April 1, 20188 yr 10m x 6m? That's another house Lee haha It’s just under that to be fair, 53m2 of internal space One of these open plan kitchen, dining and family room’s Or at least it will be when we get through the build Doing a second storey side extension and a full refurbishment for good measure
April 1, 20188 yr It’s just under that to be fair, 53m2 of internal space One of these open plan kitchen, dining and family room’s Or at least it will be when we get through the build Doing a second storey side extension and a full refurbishment for good measure Sounds like it will be something special. We are thinking of building an extension of about 34m2 to do something similar. Let me know where you get your bifolds from Edited April 1, 20188 yr by Salford Trotter

April 1, 20188 yr Author Cheers all for the replies Looks like it will cost too much at the moment The foundations definitely need re-doing - they've dropped a couple of mm just with the weight of the cons. Some clown had it done before we moved in Might be a stupid question but could the current bricks be re-used if the whole lot was taken down? Or would it all need re-building with new bricks? Just wondering if that would cut the cost by any significant amount?

Just wondering if that would cut the cost by any significant amount? Bricks are relatively cheap mate so it’s probably not going to save you a great deal, certainly not worth the aggravation of taking them down one by one and chiselling off the mortar If you go for block and block then render it might save you a little bit but it’s not massive Edited April 1, 20188 yr by birch-chorley
