• Dont forget this is the London £40k Kitchen and Single Speed Forum.
    Easily doable for under £5k if you are OK not having top of the line everything.

  • this thread is 100% guilty of assuming everything starts at circa 10k

    my mum had a 2x2m hallway/entrance extension including roof, windows, all electrics, plastering, only thing not included was the front door for 16k, if you'd asked before in here before starting you'd have put aside 50k!

  • only thing not included was the front door for 16k

    That's an expensive front door

  • Must be some front door to be 16k.

  • Not sure that's fair. It sounds like your mum got a decent price, but you've phrased it as though it's a big job, when in fact there's no serious structural stuff, likely minimal excavation, no plumbing, minor electrical, limited materials for finishing, etc.

    I'd say the main thing this place is guilty of is expensive tastes. The sort of inspiration people post tends to be top end.

    A builder mate always used to moan about people asking for quotes for things - like say a bathroom hoping it'd be £5k. While sharing a mood board full of >£20k bathrooms.
