    I am looking to extend the back of the house by approx 26m2. I have attached a few pics of what I intend to achieve.

    My budget would be 40k, so just wondering if this is achievable?

    I intend to keep existing kitchen with a view to upgrade in the future. Kitchen tiles are only new, as house has just been remediated due to pyrite, so I intend to keep them but extend out as arc, shown in pic.

    End of kitchen counter would be rotated 90 degrees to line up with rest of the kitchen.

    I would also like to open it as much as possible but would be willing to keep the existing wall in centre of kitchen, if it had a significant reduction in the overall cost.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Depending on what's there currently that needs demolition.
    Depends on your level of finish.

    It could be done for 40k with very tight control over budget.

    I would not go with block on flat and dry lining internally.

    Hi BryanF/Tefral,

    Could you be more specific as to why this is a bad idea? Just not familiar with building/materials myself.

    Cheers

    Am I going blind or is there no mention of a radon sump in the above quote?

    that quote refers to block on flat up to damp only , it has cavity block after floor level.
