Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Leatherhead job. Highest-priced quote actually had the cheapest spec - the breakdown made it obvious. Foreman walked the spec sheet through with us before any digger arrived. Quote was ยฃ99140, invoice came in ยฃ465 lower. Moved out for two weeks during the demolition and steel install, the rest was bearable.

A year in, the underfloor heating runs the new space at zero heating cost from solar. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Leatherhead designed-in concealed downlights so the ceiling has no visible fittings. Total ยฃ78780. Decided to stay rather than move - the extension solved the space problem entirely.
