I bought a new house last year and now want do it up. Anybody give me rough costs for

1. Conservatory
2. Loft conversion
3. New driveway

Those are the biggest things I’m looking at right now and don’t wanna talk to any sales nerds yet, anyone that’s actually had these done would be helpful.

No sawdust you beauts

A bit more detail as to dimensions would give a better estimate.
Small conservatory or loft extension looking approx 10k.
Drive depends what you require and how big it is.

Just looking for approx costs at the moment. I’d say the drive way was small to medium, probably about 25ft wide and 15ft long

Inhad budgeted about £10k for a conservatory and £15k for loft conversation and £5k for drive way having literally no idea how much they cost other than some googling

Get a few free estimates mate.you do seem have a fair idea of cost.i build quite a few extensions etc and building materials are expensive these days.

Yes you arent far off there mate.

A lot will depend on your site. For instance how easy will it be to covert the loft, will.it need an RSJ or two. Having to put steel in will add on 5-6k minimum. Average driveway would be anywhere from 1.5k to 3k depending on what you're replacing and with what you are replacing.

Generally a contractor will add in about 30-40% to the materials costs for their profit for the job so don't be shocked if it's a bit more than you priced up yourself.

I've had all 3 done. Loft conversion was 16k but included a few extras so would have been under £15k. New drive moved the drive from the side of the house to the front and cost £5.5k but that was mates rates. My 3m x 4m conservatory cost £7k.
