Internet is always wrong, don't trust it.
My neighbour got a pretty standard one done and it cost 55 I think, but it was a shit show as there was no overall design or project manager so the trades didn't give a shit and worked in isolation resulting in thresholds that don't match up (slight step up into one of the rooms), messy as hell external pipe runs and flashing that looks over sized and unfinished.
You could prob get something acceptable for a shade over that but make sure everything is coordinated.I'm planning on doing the same soonish so interested in how your experience pans out!

Yeah - I was counting on at least 55k, probably 65 - but not a penny more. Got other stuff to do.
I was initially contemplating a garden studio, but that's going to be too much faff for what would be relatively little use and would create a mostly unused spare bedroom. Instead I'm planning to optimise storage throughout the entire house.
So, in addition to the loft there would be a massive built-in wardrobe in one room and a huge cupboard in another, plus some shelving in a few different places. Also a refit of the existing bathroom, removal of a fireplace and decorating upstairs rooms.
Need to get all that in a budget of 80. Will let you know how I get on. I'm starting with the builder who did our downstairs renovation last year who we were very happy with.
Anyone had an L-shaped dormer done recently? I’m about to get quotes and researching typical costs. Internet says ~£45k, although unsure what that would cover and what I’d need to budget for all-in, i.e. staircase, fittings etc.
It would more or less be the size of the loft in this floorplan.
