• Currently looking at a property that's had a kitchen extension but kept a pretty small dining room in place and wondering if it's viable at all to get everything pushed out to the new boundary line that the kitchen reaches.

    Have been looking at various websites and trying to price up just how much it'd be but they're all (obviously!) pretty loose with their estimates from amounts that are questionably below reasonable to others that are wildly out of our budget - don't suppose anyone's got any idea what doing the below might come in at as a ballpark figure, to get it to a level where it's got walls, windows, doors and ready for a kitchen and anything else to go in?

    We'd ideally want the red walls taken down, green walls put in and the toilet moved around (probably to the bottom right corner). There's a lounge below the dining room, and the existing wall for the floor above runs up to the current edge of the dining room with the kitchen currently a single storey extension beyond that.

  • Have you got some actual photos?
    Is this not ground floor, you said lounge below?
    Either way with material and builders what they are not cheap will be the answer.

    Sorry, poorly worded earlier...'lounge below' as in underneath on the drawing above - here's a snap of the back of the property, which is in an ideal location for us. We'd ideally be looking to 'fill in' the gap that's in the shadow of the property at present to make a big open plan space at the back of the house (so knocking through existing walls, marked red in the diagram).

    Appreciate it's not likely to be the cheapest job in the world, but just trying to get a rough idea from others who may have done or are looking to do the same to see if it's realistic or an absolute pipedream.

    Note: that is a side access down to the right of the property, but doesn't come across well at all in the photo!
