I'm E17. Our downstairs work didn't include a side return, but did involve two RSJ boxes (knock-through reception rooms and open up rear of kitchen). I'm planning to get the same builder back to quote.
Are you planning to live there through the work?

We've got a 9 month old and another one on the way in May so if we were having them both done together we'd definitely be moving out during.
We're definitely getting the loft done, the side return is more of a question mark as getting the loft done would mean we could remove the downstairs bathroom and instantly get a dining area. Just need to weigh up the cost vs return of whether it's worth it. Too many ways to burn money!

This was my question too @Gewürzt
If the answer was yes you'd be braver than me! If you do one at a time you have somewhere to hide at least.
Even if you're planning on moving out doing both at the same time would be more stress/decisions/ways of going over budget.

Continuing on the loft conversion chat, we want to get ours done and a side return at the same time, has anyone done both before? Our neighbours had their loft done really well but they only do lofts, are there companies that do both our would or just be a case of getting 2 different ones in and project managing it?
Never done anything like this before so I'm totally clueless. I'm E7/E11 border if anyone knows a local firm.
