Two-storey side extension on our 1970s detached in Basildon. Underfloor heating zoned separately from the rest of the house, A-rated boiler upgraded. Quote of £58760 held to within 1%. CCTV drain survey done before any digging started, no surprises later.
Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Basildon job. Picked the team that took the time to come back twice with revised drawings. Trade plates on the kerb so the council parking team did not bother them. Came in at £87060 fitted including site clean and hand-back. Already booking them for the loft conversion next.
Eighteen months on, the bi-folds open every weekend and have not dropped on the runners once. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Basildon argued for thicker insulation in the slab - heating bills are visibly lower year-round. Total £59040. Working from home is so much better with the new dedicated space.
