What Dorking Homeowners Say About Our House Extension Specialists
Conservation-area sympathetic extension on our cottage in Dorking. 24m² rear with structural opening through to the existing kitchen and a steel beam above. Total project £86200 across 15 weeks. FMB-credentialed builder, structural calcs done in-house.
Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Dorking job. Final pick had a structural engineer on staff, not subcontracted. Internal openings cut on a Saturday so the rest of the family was barely disturbed. £73500 all-in, including all internal finishes. Moved out for two weeks during the demolition and steel install, the rest was bearable.
Past a year and the extension is the most-used part of the whole house. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Dorking suggested moving the boiler to the new utility room - much quieter at night now. Total £77100. Decided to stay rather than move - the extension solved the space problem entirely.
