Compared four extension builders through BestBuilders for the Skipton job. Selected on availability rather than price - we needed to start before winter. Site set up properly with welfare unit, fenced safely, neighbours kept informed. ยฃ70800 fitted, 12-week site programme. Moved out for two weeks during the demolition and steel install, the rest was bearable.

Six months later, no settlement cracks anywhere - foundations were clearly done right. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Skipton pushed for an MVHR install at the same time - condensation simply not a problem. Total ยฃ61140. Decided to stay rather than move - the extension solved the space problem entirely.
