Thank you Jonathan, I had considered using the current kitchen as a dining area and putting the utility in the cellar (where it is currently). We still need help working out the best kitchen design for the space though. I’m worried the doorway cuts into the middle of the space and leaves a lot of the room to be used essentially as a corridor to the dining room. I’ve looked at so many photos of kitchens but can’t find anything similar in size and shape.

Hi, once you have decided on a layout, we can provide you with a budget cost estimate. The budget cost estimate provides a detailed breakdown of works and expenses as well as highlighting potential areas where you can save money. If this is something of interest please send the plans and photos to hello@nestestimating.co.uk and we can provide you with a quote

What would you do with this floorplan? We want to get rid of our conservatory so it’s a chance to optimise space- which we need! It’s not ever going to be huge so we need clever ideas! We would like kitchen/dining and 2 ‘tv’ areas. We do need to retain the garage as we don’t have a loft. We are planning on staying for probably 5 years so would like to do the option that adds the most value. One of our current issues is how to use back half of through lounge We are a bit restricted by a small garden and a drain run parallel to house means it’s either a max 1.5m extension or min 3+m extension. We also have the soil pipe and chimney to work around. Our garden is west facing. Any ideas?

We are having an extension built & the floors are now going down. Yesterday when we went to the house we noticed that now the joists, insulation etc are in it is covering the air bricks - basically we think the air bricks are too high. The joists are going across them, so is the insulation & then there is underfloor heating to go in & laminate on top. The air bricks should surely be in the air space below the floor? Also the DPC is laying on top of the air bricks - so consequently would be too high? Any thoughts urgently required please. Thanks
