We are thinking of extending our kitchen by a few feet - a one story extension, probably proper walls with lots of windows and a skylight rather than a conservatory (as everyone says they are cold in winter and hot in summer). We would also need to completely replace the kitchen.
We are not sure where to start - do we just get general builders round to quote? Do we need an architect or plans? How do you do this? We are trying to do it as cheaply as possible but not so cheaply that it falls apart or looks rubbish.
We have a vague idea it might cost £20k - is this a reasonable ballpark figure?
There is the possible added complication that the extension would go ontop of the raised patio outside the kitchen - does anyone know if peparing this ground to take the extension greatly add to the cost?
Any hints and tips on the extension part would be most gratefully received (I'm not worrying about the new kitchen itself yet).
Thanks a lot.
