Extension - help

Can anyone help me, we are considering having an extension built at the back of the house, so it it will be approx 12ft wide x 14ft wide then to one side so like a L shape from the house a toilet and small "utility" for coats/washing machine/freezer etc. And access from/to the garden.It will have a solid tile roofpossibly with a skylight.
Is it best to have a builder in first or a surveyor? what do you think?

wouldnt have a clue Kazz but good luck with it

I would bring the builder in first. He'll be able to assess what you will need and he will be able to give you an estimate on the price. Then if you are still sure you want one I would bring the surveyer in.

Thank Em,

The plan is it has a "hallway" with loo coming off then a door to the room which will be 14ft x 12ft and hopefully it will become asecond sitting room with telly etc and room for the computer in there too.
So looks like becoming yet another "dog" room with the door from the hallway going directly to the back garden.

Thats what we thought GL thanks

do you need planning permission Karen?

Yes will do Lel, but can't see that will be a problem there are houses around who have had similar done.

comes to something when you extend the house for dogs

Well it's not particularly for the dogs they already have the lounge 23ftx12t kitchen 20ftx14ft utility6ftx14ft conservatory 4mx4m and as I write Sal is asleep at my feet in the spare bedroom as I am on the computer so I think one room will have to be designated "human room"

Whoops forgot the back garden and the two sheds and the workshop was once garage 26ft x 13ft. Where they lounge to their hearts content.
