Great editing skills, the 5 hour footage of the tea breaks no where in sight 👍
😆Thanks king77703! Tea breaks don't make for the best footage 🤣
lol
Yeah real workers don't take breaks or spend time off with their family they just work forever without stopping.
@@fedyno4reviews Pretty much my approach to editing this video.
😄😄
I enjoyed that a lot. Takes me back to the mid 80s when extensions and conservatorys were all the rage, just day after day of non stop grafting. Nice one.
Thanks @Craig Andrews. Looking round our way, extensions are definitely the rage at the moment. A bit cheaper than moving, and I think that's big influence.
Great vid. Makes me realise just how much work (and cost) relatively modest extensions can be. Looks like the trades did great job. Hope you are happy with it all, congrats! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We're delighted with it @BitandBob 1. Cheers for taking the time to comment!
Good job guys. Always on the look out for good, honest & trustworthy builders.
...and the team we used were exactly that.
Looks like a brilliant job👍 the footage captured is amazing, usually dont see too much of both inside and out but this was excellent.
Thanks Craig. A lot of credit to the contractors who let me do this.
Looks AWFUL
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very satisfying!
Bloody amazing guys, this is exactly what I’m looking for.
Thanks @mo jo
What a transformation! Really enjoyed this, brilliant video mate
Thanks @Chunk London! Glad that you enjoyed it.
Good job and very similar to what we are having done to our home. We went for a sloped roof though as it looks better and it's less likely to cause problems, but on the flip side you have a bit more space on top of the bifolds. The other thing we have decided to do differently is installing the kitchen after the floor goes in so the units sit on top of it. Oh, and we also took up the floor in the old kitchen/diner to retro fit underfloor heating there as well (the extension area pipes were, like yours, buried under the sand and cement screed, while the old area has overlay boards). Well done though, you can never go wrong when you invest money to extend your own home.
Thanks for the reply @Buddy Pagano. You raise some good points. For us, both were about excessive disruption and the value added with the extra cost.
To extend the heating into the old kitchen would have cost a lot in time, labour and mess taking up the old floor (as our builder wanted to insulate it properly) so we took the risk that we might get away with having the appliances that throw out heat giving us the warmth that we need. It has seemed to have worked but, if you don't have slippers or shoes on, you can definitely feel the change from the new floor to the old as you walk on it. As an aside, we control this underfloor heating with a Nest (3rd Gen) thermostat and it's learnt both our routine, and the speed at which the space warms up very well. A very clever piece of kit that works very effectively.
In terms of the roof, a pitched roof would be best, but we couldn't take it across the entire width of the house. The garage roof on the right hand side would have required re-roofing to facilitate it. Again, that cost was prohibitive.There was a point in time where we thought about an extension that only covered two thirds of the width of the back - maybe leaving a small patio area outside our garage door. We decided that that space would never see the sun and be a bit wasted. As our garage is converted into a living family space, we wanted to access it easily at the back. What the video does not show much of is that we put a partition wall inside the already-converted garage, across the middle of the space. The half of that space nearest the new extension is now a utility room, housing the gas boiler, washing machine, tumble dryer and second fridge/freezer (which can a life saver!).
As soon as we discussed the idea of a utility space, and had seen the flat roof, parapet and GRP solution then that seemed to be our ideal setup.
Good luck with your build!
This is the sort of thing I dream of, thanks for posting!
No problem @Jon D. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video mate 👍
Given me quite a lot of ideas for my upcoming kitchen extension, especially using the same tiles in the kitchen/diner and outdoor patio!
Thanks @Nazmul Hussain. Have a look at my reply to nbronco04 below. I've just written about the indoor/outdoor floor finish and some of the decisions that we had to make. In that reply I talk about the width of the bi-fold door track and the role of the steel above the doors. There's also some regulations about drainage away from the extension and what needs to be where. There's some expensive choices that you may have to consider.
Jon, great job and a really useful addition to your home! I like the way you handle the less positive comments-lol. I built a 3m x 6m similar extension for a friend in 2021 came in at £50k, she thought it was expensive ( that included all decoration and kitchen). Getting the plans drawn for mine on Monday, 3.5m x 7m , this will extend the current extension so will end up with a 7m x7m kitchen/living area. It’s scary how much material costs have risen in the last 18 months. All the best Shane.
Thanks @Shane Foster. I'm trying not to rise to them too much 😆.
I'm not sure where you're based in the UK, but we are in the home counties which we think adds to our costs. Our space has added 3 x 9m to our home, and made a huge difference to us. We are confident the cost will be recouped in the value of the house, but not necessarily increase it by more than cost. However, we feel it was worth it.
We checked with a few neighbours who had work done, with different builders, and our costs were on a par with theirs. So, despite the expense, we felt it was competitive.
Don't forget to time lapse yours when you do it!
I built one on my rental myself, 3mx8m, 11k it cost me. No kitchen though. You can get a 700mm micro digger through doors and track barrow, 220/day. Saves on labour and one's back.
@@RobertRedford77 Good point about the micro-digger. Before this, in the early 2010s, we had some landscaping performed in the back garden and they used one to move soil about. Our builder had had different experiences with using them around the South East of the UK and didn't want the weight of one caving in the foundations hole, as had happened previously.
These lads were used to it, and on some days made it look easy. I had a go for an hour and was knackered 🤣
How much do you think your one will cost?
its great workmanship when they tidy up after themselves
Loved watching this! Awesome work
I really enjoyed watching that! Thanks for making it
Hi @David Ball. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It was definitely a labour of love!
I do not normally if at ALL watch videos like this but very good indeed
How you did this in 1 day is mind-boggling!
Must have you round ours need quite a bit done....
✌🤜🏽
Well done for sticking with filming, not easy, great to watch.
Thanks @Paul Morris. Credit to the contractors for letting me do it.
This was amazing to watch, well done 👏🏽
Thanks @DivineFeminine_01
Fantastic work mate, looks incredible. Top quality finish all round too
Thanks @schmurgen
Great video, given some great ideas really bringing the outside in.
Thanks @msg4asif.
I've written in some replies about the indoor/outdoor finish and some of the decisions that we had to make - as we thought that the same flooring in and out would help this concept. We would have loved a narrower track in the floor for the doors to move down to make the finish really clean. This meant hanging the doors from the top, rather than seating them in the floor, in the wider track. It was explained that the door steel/lintel used to hang the bi-fold doors from would have added a lot more cost as it would need to be bigger and stronger.
There are also some regulations about drainage away from the extension and what drains needs to be where and at what height.This meant for us that the outside floor is a couple of inches lower than the inside. The same flooring inside and out helps bring the outside in a little, but that extra effort with a narrow track and same height flooring would add to it, but would cost a lot more.
In terms of the flooring, we felt porcelain tiles was the way to go. The ones we choose are weatherproof, and appropriate for indoors too (which rules out vinyl, laminate and natural wood). There was some choice at the supplier we used, which was CTD Tiles, who are nationwide (and I do not work for them by the way 🤣)
These are some expensive choices that you may have to consider with this whole outdoor-in vision.
Let me know what you think, and good luck with your project!
Loved the sun roof and the glass doors. Need all the glass you can get in because of cloudy rainy UK weather…
Very much so Eureka Comment. There's a balance between heat generate (through the greenhouse feel) and the light entering. Today's windows, glass and doors and becoming more and more efficient though.
The UK does have a spring and summer you know. The sky is blue with no clouds as I type this message.
Wow that looks great 👍🏻 well put together too enjoyed watching that 👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks @Angela Robinson
Great looking project 👌👌🏴
Fair play digging them by hand
Well smart. Glad the house and garden flow, nice touch
Thanks @5pur5
Absolutely brilliant Timelapse, and some excellent work, but holy shit that house is a monstrosity.
Thanks @JohnGodwin. Sadly the finishes to the exterior are limited by budget...and that they don't make the bricks for our house any more, thus the rendered finish.
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing, real pros at work 👍
Cheers @Danny Mistry
Top job, BRAVO !
Brilliant video! … Thankyou I appreciate you!
an extension in 8minutes.. Fantastic!
It's a Hollywood extension 😂
Respect to them for digging the footings by hand! Looks like a nice sandy soil helped..
Credit indeed @ShanD D. Well, you say sandy, but around here it is very chalky. A lot of the white spoil is this chalk and, having had a go at it myself, it was bloody hard work. I'm not built to be a builder. 🤣
@@jonnylarge At least it wasn't clay, that's all there is round my way! Nightmare, sticks to the spades and everything. Makes it 10 times more back breaking than it needs to be.
@@shandd9640 I bet!
Love it, very professional. No corners cut like you get with some cowboy builders!
Great video. You make it look so easy👍
🤣 Thanks @simon walker.
I'm just the film-maker - believe me, that's way easier than the builder's efforts!
Imagine if you could finish an extension this quickly, you could work for a year, then retire.
Great job lads 👍
Cheers @Scott83271. Imagine indeed. Not for me though...too much physical labour this desk jockey. 😂
Beautiful workmanship
So true @joeythelips2341
Absolutely spot on video, loved watching it & it gave me some mega ideas for something we r going to have done similar 👍🏽👍🏽
Might have to ponder over those ideas over a mega pint haha
Super. Thanks @Simon Chamberlain.
Stunning build and great to watch
Thanks @Mike Wakeford
Great memories of my kitchen extension such a nice feeling when it's done and all you think is I wish I had done it sooner
So true @Joseph Joyce...it would've been cheaper for a start!
Good too see that your builders appeared to a proper job, even covering the cavities so they didn't get any water in them before the roof went on.
Thanks @simonridley.
Amazing what being filmed will do....
@@simontaylor2525 Not sure what you're suggesting there Simon?
Awesome builders, excellent result. x
Absolutely bang on
Very good looking extentsion, congratulitations! If it was me, i probably put up there a small balcony patio.
Thanks @Zsolt Ocsko. It's a good point...but the engineering required to strengthen the roof and space required for access would have raised the budget too far.
Great video and excellent job.
Thanks for sharing 👍 👏 👏 👏
Thanks @youngedwards3265
wow, very impressive. and so realistic.... right even with the dirty dishes in the sink.
Cheers @Bob Finkenbiner. They're still there!
That was a thorough job
Thanks @Cal bo
Proper job by proper builders.
Thanks...they were a great team.
I really enjoyed that.

Superb video !
Thanks @doshi100
Similar job to mine (which was wider with 2 lanterns). I opted for the steel supporting the opening from the house to be in the ceiling void so the ceiling runs seamlessly into the extension adding to the feel of one room.
Thanks for the reply @Jamie Bourne. Funnily enough, we considered several options for this particular steel. I'll just talk about the first option we considered. The part of the old house in between the back garage door and the old kitchen window is a key structure to the old house. We did want a steel across the new opening that continued across the back of the garage. The trouble with this is that we would need a steel across what is now the new location for the hob. Where these two steels meet would need support.
As we have the loft converted though, and the weight that generates, this area would have needed a lot of costly strengthening work. Also the steel across that width of the house would have need to be of such a strength, and therefore, height that it's top edge would've been above the back guttering of the garage. This would have needed garage roof work, adding further cost.
I mention this it is what has led to the positioning of the current steel. We would have liked the seamless opening but the compromise we have ended up with hasn't worked out too bad.
@Jon Large In that case I would've gone for your option! My particular steel was a goal post that returned under the floor-a complete rectangular frame, builder swore a little!
@@jamiebourne8047 I bet they did! Good example of up cycling though.
Enjoyed watching this. I've just completed a similar but much smaller kitchen extension. Good luck with flies on the skylight after the bifolds have been open 🙃
Thanks @Ollie Card. We're already there with that! Small price to pay though don't you reckon?
@@jonnylarge Yeah, defo worth it overall. Although I have had a house full of flies on many occasions!
@olliec1319 grow lavender in your garden then crop it and dot it in vases around the door areas and anywhere you don't want flies.
Or use lavender oil.
@@NewGameComingSoon Thanks for the tip, I'll ty that. As they do fill up the skylight very quickly and killing them is not something we do.
Looks like you had pretty good builders
They were @Richard Courtman. They kept us up to speed with what was happening...even let me have a go at some stuff. I helped build the retaining garden wall, and did some plastering. One of those went better than the other.🤣
Amazing video. The render on the right side of the doors was absolutely shocking tho, the patch that come out and got put back in
Thanks @Smokes. It's not too bad in the final result, so we accepted it for what it was.
Awesome! I would have made a Tarrace on top of the extension with entrance from one of the rooms on first floor, although planning permission applies here I believe. It is my dream to build one like this.
Not sure on the planning permission @WheelyDoctor, but the remodelling of the internal first floor to allow for this, and the extra engineering for the roof was not within budget.
Great building
Thanks @layz_lewis399!
Brilliant job with the lawn😂 saw how you just put topsoil over the existing lawn. End result is lush 😂
Thanks! Topsoil and new grass seed was a bit ropey - but it was a dry old summer.
Cant wait to see it wen u do the garden aswell
Hi @bobbyboy4496...I've just added a time lapse to my TH-cam channel of some decking work we have done. Have a look and see what you think.
Stunning
Thanks @pauloshea5483.
That flooring outside is going to be lethal in winter ....
That's what we thought @nissan 300zxtt. We had a week of very cold weather in mid-December, with plenty of snow and ice but, do you know, it wasn't too bad. It seemed to thaw and dry which prevented the ice reforming.
Brilliant guys
Thanks @Steve Williams
Cracking video that was great stuff 👍
Thanks @Micky Dola!

its beautiful...

Great vid!

Really good work that
Thanks @Sott
WOW WOW WOW love it
Thanks @S S
Would love to see a set of plans for this build as its just what I want to build at my house. Although not a favourite with everyone I talk to, the flat roof is especially what I'm looking for as it solves a few problems with the height of a tiled roof blocking the view from bedrooms. Wondering what the internal and external roof heights are, as it would be very useful to know before I go see an architect.
Well done, nice 😊👍
Thanks @S-S-S
Looks great apart from the GRP roof it’s a shocker of a system,no movement will delaminate and already has ponding,it’s the gift that keeps giving,
A fair point @Daniel Finley. We are happy with this look, and the risks that come with it - so we are not shocked. Felt roofing just didn't appeal to the aesthetic we wanted. We see it similar to the rendered outside walls - they will need all need some regular maintenance.
@@jonnylargeI wouldn’t worry too much, do you know what GRP system was used? Most modern blends allow for movement and heat etc. Lovely build btw, just came across the video - I’m having a double story side extension and a rear extension that will measure 2.5m by 8m so not too far short of what you had done.
I'm not sure what they used@@danieledwards4378 - a layer of stinky glass fibre, then a couple of coats of stinky paint? I'm sure there's some technical descriptions that I could use 🤣
loved watching the magic come alive but didn't get why they fitted wood floor out as well like they did inside
200.000 € thank you haha, good job guys !
😂
Yeah I know the sense of satisfaction you guys feel, yesterday I made a minecraft house in a really cool place
Great work @LondonSpade
How big was the span of the steel beams supporting the second story and roof.
Thinking of doing something similar but my span would be 5.5m
Great video. But curious to know what you did in the tiny gap between you and neighbour. Is that left unfinished or somehow can that be rendered too, or was that finished in red brick? I couldn’t tell. I never know how they deal with the small gaps between neighbouring properties
Thanks @Rico 1071.
It's still a 1.5-2 inch gap. The side of the wall that is visible to our neighbour is rendered and painted. There's about 12 inches worth top to bottom. The rest is exposed block work - as exposed as it can be. We've had a lot of rain since it was finished and haven't had any water problems just yet.
looks mint

great edit but where was the PIR boards for the warm roof?
Great job, well done mate.
Can I ask what camera you used to record the time lapse? I have a similar project upcoming and would love to record it similarly
Cheers @tiktok.
Have a look at my reply to Michael Eldridge below for a bit more detail on my equipment and work flow.
Nice video, How many days did this job actually take?
Great team work, looks great, foundations all dug out by hand and waste removed via the alley, bet that was a hard slog. how much did it all cost
Thanks @lutonroy. I was impressed with the effort they put in. It was in June and it didn't half get hot across those weeks - which is why the gazebo came out. From you name you might also be aware of how chalky it is round (and we're not too many miles from Luton). I think the grab lorry can hold 15 tonnes of soil and we definitely had a couple of lorry loads removed.
I don't like to comment on the cost, especially as it what we paid on prices from February 2021 would be a fair bit off today's prices.
Where is the kitchen drain? Underneath the original kitchen? Did they move the drain? Amazing video by the way, love seeing these types of house improvements.
Thanks @Nax Chowdhury.
When we were talking to people about options we spoke to out neighbour, himself a builder who had just completed an extension to his house. We shared my early, pre-architect, plans with him. One observation he made was that we were keeping the mains inlet pipe and the drain in the same place. He had moved his during his build and it presents some different challenges. It can be done, but it adds time and money.
If you view the video full screen at 4m 37s you can just about see these pipes coming out of the floor.
Hi instead of using traditional coping stones on the roof parapet wall what was the system your builders used?
Hi @Jas Dhillon. Funnily enough some asked that in the comments the other day. The capping on the extension parapet walls is aluminium supplied by a company called Guttercrest. I think that this is the link - www.guttercrest.co.uk/aluminium-coping/#toggle-id-1. Cheers.
Did the same over two years and saved myself 40k by doing it myself. Handy when you can.
Wise words James. Sadly, I don't have the skills or patience.
How much did you spent?
@@devsip2277 £40k in total.
Pretty freaking sweet man. Well done. What’s next!!?? Haha
Thanks @Christopher Costello.
We were thinking a nuclear power station next.
