I want to get some work done on the house this year. Ideally I would like to knock through a supporting wall from the offshot into the dining room and extend the kitchen into the dining room, obviously would need a new kitchen, new floor in kitchen and dining room, a wood burner in the dining room whihc would include knocking out the exsisting gas fire and lining the flue.

New carpet in the lounge, on the stairs and landing and a new bathroom suite.
I would also like to replace the bookshelves with something a bit nicer (ikea billy in silver) and a new carpet in our room if we had any money left over.

How much do you reeckong that lot would cost, and how do I find out without inviting someone into my home to then have them badger me about it?

Whereabouts are you?

We've just done something not dissimilar but we're pricey SE so not sure I can help massively with comparisons - and we also had external work and I'm not 100% sure where the split lies cost-wise of the entire amount (we also had new windows)

But there will be kitchen sales a-plenty in the New Year - depending on size and whether you can get a contractor who will get you a bargain.
Also Ikea kitchens vg value if you can get someone to build it nicely for you.
Heavy traffic carpet about £20 per square metre plus underlay and fitting
But for something reliable quote wise you will prob have to get someone in (but from what I understand they won't necessarily be badgering you, will be the other way round, most folk improving instead of moving and builders generally seem quite busy)

Anway HTH and good luck with it.
