110k is enough to do a kitchen diner extension and knock through and loft. I know because I have done it.
Just because you did it doesn't mean it's possible now, prices have gone mental and continue to rise. I'm really not convinced that would be possible now without at least an element of self-build.

£70k for the loft + £120k for the extension = £110k total
Why are you not convinced?

The cost of the materials has not generally gone up much from a year ago. The cost of labour I'm not so sure about. I know you can still get a basic d ormer for 40k. My polish builder is quoting 55k for the extension I had done for 45k a year ago.
Unless both extensions are enormous and very high spec 110k should be a reasonable budget. But all depends on the spec really and how much the builder is marking up the materials.

It should also be enough to do a double story side return.
If I have to guess the builders are price gouging on the labour - a lot of the materials won't have gone up past their peak a year ago. Some materials will have gone down.
You'll have to change builders and get a fixed price.
