Haha your cat is absolutely adorable
Thank you for sharing your project experience. A beautiful transformation.
Lovely extension
The cat coming into the shot at the beginning...priceless
That is a great vlog. Do you mind sharing how much did it cost ?
Looks great and I’m happy for you 👍🏻
10:26 best advice for any construction project. Write down everything. and discuss with the builder every week or 2. Best way to keep you both right.
Great video and lovely extension 👏👏👍
This is EPIC. Thank you so much.
I wasn't really sure when you showed the lower roof beams in the living room but once the whole thing was finished it works!
Its better than my kitchen
The cat on the stairs ❤️
I have to agree with a lot of the comments; 60k - 100k is crazy for an extension this size.
I am currently doing this at my new house and it is easy to spend that type of money but if you just do the procurement yourself, you can save thousands.
A builder has a preferred supplier but will still want the work if you buy materials. Saves a lot of money.
Where i live you can buy a decent house for kind of money!
Think that's not bad myself this day and age.
Cool. Thanks
Your house looks amazing bro👌
Nice video mate great extension, enjoy
Lovely home... very similar to my vision
Even your cat was inspecting the work!😂😂 Thanks so much for this upload! I'm still saving for mine, and needed some motivation and inspiration to keep going, especially as we're still under lockdown, this video was exactly what I needed. Brilliant job on the windows and folding doors, hope you invited all your friends and family around to make them jealous hehe! 😁🤭
Yes Tink was a very good site inspector, always checking over the work! Friends and family have been round and loved it, and since we're in lockdown I'm even gladder I've had it done as it's given us the space to stay at home without feeling like we're cooped up. Good luck with your project 👍
Reallygood video. cheers
Yorkshire tea drinker - good man!
This is really good vlog thanks
@@markjdraper It's such a minefield. As an I.T guy I know nothing about building, and always turn to things like this. I've just bought in Handforth in South Manchester, I just looked up Leapfrong, and they are based in Didsbury just down the road from where I will be, it's good to see. So thanks again :)
Beautiful
Thank you
For those of you who asked about the cost, my builder watched this video and quoted £35k for the work with this sort of spec in mind. Hopefully that gives you an idea. London-based.
yeah I'd agree.
@@zman5908 Hello Z man I don't want a quote but If I made my Garage smaller and added a downstairs shower room how much would you say it costs
Easily £40-£45k for the build alone, and not including the kitchen and flooring??...
Z Man can you do this for me please with a indoor swimming pool? Oh yh bet ur a b tec builder
Z Man I doubt it fella 👊
Thank you for this it's. really helpful
Good job. We are planning similar
Very nice👍
Gorgeous! This is exactly what I want!
Good job I'm a bit envious now do you mind telling us which brand of kitchen units they are
How has the joint where the wood floor meets the tiled floor held up with the flooring expansions/contraction?
wow looks great, your video given me some ideas. How do you find the kitchen / living room together as opposed to being separated? Planning on having my extension done next year :-)
great
Is your underfloor heating water. Currently have storage heaters. Im planning a extension simular to yours. Do you have any speakers in the ceiling?
whats the with and length of the extension and the whole open plan design.
Thanks
What type of underfloor heating have you got?
LOVE THE X_WING ^^
Need it done South Wales but not paying London prices
did you go over budget with project or did they just charge you what you agreed?
Hello.
30 minutes ago I was looking for Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver, found one with a video review made by you.
After viewing your review, I was gladly surprised by the quality of it.
So I decided to search and watch other reviews you've made.
I just spent the last 30 minutes viewing some of your reviews on Bluetooth gadgets, power banks, and I finished with this one.
Sir, you are really good !
Short reviews, to the point, no trash talk, no extraneous anecdotes or bad jokes...
I have seen other people doing 20 minutes reviews that were not as good as your 2 minutes reviews.
And on top of that, the video and sound quality are perfect !
Now, this video about your house extension... I have noticed that I cannot see clearly the faces of the workers. Was this planned? I think it's great since they may not want to be part of the video.
Also, nice extension! I especially love the folding glass doors :-)
Keep up the good work, I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and I bookmarked your website.
Have a very nice day.
RedRebel4ever.
P.S.: Seeing the depth of the trench they dug for the outside walls, I think your winters are not as cold as ours! In Quebec (Canada) the depth is minimum 4 feet (1.2 meter) in order to get below the level the ground gets frozen in our winters...
Anyway, I'll keep watching / reading your reviews. Bye.
Hi, what was the angle of your pitch roof? Thanks!
This small project did take a lot of time a guy in Canada build two storys homes in three weeks by him self!!
Oh really? I think he was quicker for a uk project
If you replace the term 'built' with 'slapped' together then maybe. No property is built in three weeks by just one man unless it is some kind of pre-fabricated design, and even then that is a massively rushed project to meet that kind of time scale. Over in the UK it takes months just to get the right planning alone never mind finding the right contractor, sourcing all of the right materials and in general, integrating a new structure into an existing build.
The extension structure should cost
£1,000 per square meter.
Veluxs x2 £2,200
Bifold doors £3,000
Kitchen £7,000
Take down internal walls / make good £2,300
Additional extras ie extra electrics,underfloor heating etc £5,000
Thank you for the price break down! Any idea how much the roof cost please?
How much is it cost to build a new beautiful kitchen like that. very nice .
Why did they lower the roof line?
hi hi so i have 3 bed hoyse can have good extension thinkingof exension 1 bed room bed small kitchen/lounge would you say its worth it cheaper than buying 1 bed home
£60-£100K is very expensive for a single storey rear extension with no real limits and or restrictions to overcome.
I thought the same
Rough quote:
windows and door - 10k
ufh Floor with tiles - 10k
Foundations - 3k
Walls and roof ie. structure - 10k
General finish + electrics 5k
Kitchen - depends. at least 7k
Misc - skips/management etc 5k
Architect/Building regs - 2k
Steel and installation of - 3k
55k
*Im not a builder - I've just done something similar in my home. Big difference in quality of a good job vs bad.
Also, when you start listing stuff out, you'll see the cost soon adds up. Plus the fact that he may not have been living at the home while the work was going on so you factor in rent for another place etc...
@@jpweek5885 would a kitchen be included in the cost, presumably the cost doesnt include the chairs and tv unit? Foundation cost seems a bit high
@@Ironbuket I said 7k for a kitchen. I spoke to my builder today and he was saying about 7k for my kitchen which is much smaller than the one in the video. Of course I'm not going to spend 7k... I'll have to find a cheaper alternative.
You're getting a couple of guys to dig around 1m for the trench and filling it with concrete... maybe a bit high at 3k... maybe even get it done for 1k but still I left out things like party wall agreement (at least 2k) plus, I was speaking to my builder and he was surprised how cheap I was getting my steel beams. They are apparently much more expensive... I just know a guy who does a lot of business with them so it seems I'm getting them at a huge discount.
Anyhow, it all starts adding up. You can cut corners I guess but for my house I am not.
Also, Im getting aluminium windows/doors cheap cause I know the guy. I'm getting a 3 leaf folding door for 3k. The guy in the vid has a 4 leaf I think... plus he has skylights in the vid.... it all adds up.
Now is 2021 how much the cost please for the extension like this size
Hi mate great video. Couldn't quite catch who you've advised not to use around 10:40. Mind sharing ?
At the time I had a load of problems with Currys, they sent damaged goods and it took me ages to get sorted. I've order from them since due to them being the lowest cost for the items I wanted and not had any problem, so perhaps it was a one off.
how much did it cost you for the extension
How much would it cost to do this all?
Hi Mark, great video. Where did you get your kitchen from and were you happy with the installation.
It was all sourced and arranged by the firm we hired for the extension, no idea where they got the stuff from. Yes, all those years later, still very happy with the extension.
Need find builder for South Wales
How much did it cost you roughly?
Looks good when all complete mark. Roughly how much did the job cost, we’re looking at almost the exact job at our house in glossop. Cheers steve
Hi don't know if I missed it in the video..But how long did the planning of the project take?
@@markjdraper thanks for your response
@@markjdraper Sorry another quick question..is there a legal reason why you are not able to disclose the total cost of the project? It would be good to get an idea of the cost..even if u round it up or down abit will be great.
For better user friendliness perhaps you'd run through the closed captions and do some editing. The hearing challenged among us would appreciate it (plus it means anyone can watch vids with the sound turned off).
good work thanks how much cost?i need some advice plz
Did you find out the cost or cost of similar one
This is so lovely on average how much does it cost for an extension new kitchen plus instillation thanks x
I built an 8m x 5m extension by myself, the materials cost about £50k I would think if I had someone else to do the labour it would have been another £50K
Fainally we couldn’t have a good life in this country ☹️☹️☹️
Waw that's a fantastic job. How much does it cost you ?
Sorry this answer is useless. Ball park figure? I would think at least 40-50k
About 60-80 grand
Wow. How much would something like his cost ..and sorts actually take this long
20 bags my drilla
Single story start to finish around 12 weeks. £70,000 around depending on size.
@@benkimber8285 wow 70k!!! that's some mad money!
@@User-4517 including VAT 👍🏻
Be me soon 😂
Wot company were bifold doors from?? How much was they for?
CrazyThingsInLondon yes what was the bifold door cost if u don't mind me asking
I dont understand people that love bifold doors. In the hot weather open up the entire side of your house and... watch all the flies come in? Are there special bifold fly screens?
@@Ironbuket If you have loads of flies I'd suggest sorting your rubbish bins out and a good clean inside too
@@yourgay3226 I live right next to a park which has a river in it. We have pets, including a cat and rabbits. Even when I didnt have pets, flies still came in windows at every place Ive ever lived in. Didnt matter if I lived in a built up cityscape with barely 1 plant within 200m or surrounded by countryside. Flies are everywhere unless maybe if you live +3 floors up in flats. When I lived 2 floors up in a flat once we hardly got any there. Install your bifold doors 3 floors up and you will be fine. I didnt say loads of flies, it only takes one to land on your dinner and start throwing up on it to make me not want to have half the side of my house open.
How much did this cost? I want to extend my house but I'd like to know a ball park figure to start with. Thanks
Probably 30k but hard to say as looks like he’s had a lot of nice extras added
27K
Given the title this video should really start from the point when the extension was finished until you moved house. Good one, me.
Well no, the title was self explanatory - from the start of the extension right to the end. Didn't say he moved house either?
Hi just been watching your video did u need permission to build the wall next to the neighbours window because of the natural daylight. Sorry for asking. I'm having a conservatory built and how I'm having sleepless nights thinking they might complain and I will have to take it down.
You should of got a bigger steel so you didn’t have that pillar in the way
Who did you say don't use please? I didn't catch what you said
Currys
Did any of the foundations cross onto the neighbours' side?
What? By accident?
@@jpweek5885 yes, i seen them running across the road for milk.
came here to get a rough estimate getting an extension. dont think the cost of the full project was mentioned
Albee Hoque you’ll never get an extension, it’ll be too much money for you .
jag251080
Why would you say that you muppet
What scares me is that it takes months.
Did he say dont use couriers? What does he mean?
@@markjdraper ah, yea I know Currys. Never bought anything there, nor would I. AO is pretty good, price and the way you can track when it is going to arrive via your phone. I wouldnt recommend paying extra for AO fitting service they leave their engine running and abandon it half done if it takes too long. It's not the staff's fault, AO pressure them too much on time and they get really stressed if your job delays them from the next job
How much, not being rude it's why I'm searching to find prices
You've just replaced one small kitchen with another?
What a weird comment
@@SG-sc9vc I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion.
Caroline McIlwraith likewise :)
Underfloor heating is waste of cash with tiles. They don't retain the heat so the thermostat constantly switches on and off. As a tradesman I would never recomend floor tiles and under floor heating. It's the energy bill that is the biggest surprise and people expect to be warned of these kind of things.
Right so that little bit of advice goes against everything the makers of ufh recommend. I'm having it installed and I am 100% going for tiles, not just for the fact that my neighbour, who is an architect has it and I go around there a lot so have experienced what it's like but also for the fact that in summer tiles are also cooler.
Now, as for your anecdotal evidence, 2 questions. 1) Are you sure they put insulation between concrete and screed? or is all the heat being lost downward? 2)Has the thermostat been installed under the tiles? Reason I ask is because if your thermostat switches off once your tiles reach a particular temperature it defeats the purpose of having a thermostat. It's kind of like your kettle switching itself off once the element reaches 100 degrees. See, your kettle doesn't do that because no one would buy kettles, because they wouldn't be very good at heating up water. And if that's how the inventor of thermostats suggested we use thermostats he would have been stripped naked and beaten in the streets for being stupid.
Advice for a tradesman: The thermostat is placed within the room, away from the tiles. When the air gets warm the thermostat switches the ufh off. If the air in the room gets cold again, the ufh switches on again. If the frequency of this switching on and off is too high then ask someone to stop opening all the windows just when it's getting nice and warm. AND STOP TELLING PEOPLE UFH DOESNT WORK WITH TILES. Jesus WEPT!
J Pweek surely I depends what type of ufh, electric or wet system?
@@2wheelspy he's talking about the ufh system switching on and then off immediately. How's that related to the type of system? Only the placement of the thermostat
We are going for ufh in our extension, we have to have tiles as we have dogs and they would eat anything else.. other my brother in law whose a gas engineer/plumber and the contractor have both said tiles are fine.
"UFH doesn't work with tiles" and the Earth is flat of course. Why do you comment if you have no clue at all about the topic? Pathetic.
Not sure how much this home cost. but I'm guessing about 35grand. I'm looking at a single storey extension a bit smaller than this and I have prices of about 22grand.
if you getting 22 k quotes be careful
A lot of builders do this to get the job then part way through they find reasons to up the price for this and that.
i know this as i have a building company here in Birmingham.
We give a fairly accurate estimate and things only change if inspector says more needs doing on groundwork(ie deeper foundations) or the client ups or changes specifications. Get a written agreement,with a detailed list of what is and is not being provided,a payment schedule and make sure they have at least £2 million public liability cover
Would have liked you to have taken more time on The reveille and show the room more slowly was to fast didn’t have enough time to take it in
Bet that wasn't cheap
How much this cost in total
not helpful
Mark Draper to gauge the size and cost gives people an idea of what an extension like this might be on their own property.
@@OnlineHousehusband not necessarily the cost if the extension but how you spec your extension. Things like solar roof windows of that size may be £900 each, you could spec cheaply for £300. It all depends. A basic extension of that size would be roughly £25-30k in my area. Upwards of £50k when you redecorate with full new flooring/kitchen/bifold/electrics and top spec finishes.
@@markjdraper arrogant fucker be more helpful you prick
who was it that you do not recommend so I can steer clear off
Currys. No need to steer clear of them though they probably didn't want to give him a discount for being mentioned on some poxy upload is all.
Why were curry's horrible?
They delivered late, delivered a broken item, I had problems getting the broken item replaced quickly, there were just loads of issues which were unhelpful given the project was on a plan. I've used them since for single items and they've been OK.
just eat were ok
Good attempt, but you made a common error. The first 1.5 minutes that were intended to show the "before" house was just 1.5 minutes of you blocking our view. The time-lapse segment was interesting. The "after" segment was also partially blocked by you but we could get some idea of the finished product.
Why did you build the interior with concrete blocks? It's keeping cold.. In time you can have mould.. Structural there is no strength in the walls.. Luckily there is no earthquake in UK.. You should use double insulation and put 2 layers of plaster board.. I don't see the point of the concrete block wall..
Don’t talk out of your arse ( no strength in concrete blocks?) Cold Mould ? Where do you live in a cave?
@@ronniebiggs4026 Iive in a British cave in Dartford 😂 the house is built the same way and I've got mould all the time 🤣😂
I will make it very very simple for you (CONDENSATION) no ventilation = Mould ,Showers ,cooking ,breathing ,kettles ! where is it all going? Get yourself a PIV ( Positive Input Ventilation Unit) and all your worry’s will disappear and you won’t need to fear any earthquakes again!
In the UK all Internal wall are built out of block with wall ties to the outside brick with a 100-150mm cavity filled with insulation
Nice - thank you for posting . Wish I saw it before ordering from Currys. They are awful !
Sorry, for the trouble, the end result is not that nice.
Agreed.
How lovely for you BUT whilst you sodded off on holiday leaving your poor neighbours to put up with the building work noise, did you actually think about their Rights to Light under the Prescription Act whilst you put a massive extension slapped against their fence potentially taking their light, view and sunlight away from a prominent living area?...I hope you did, because my new neighbours didn't who are having more or less the same kind of extension. I am having to fight to restore the light/view/sunlight we have had illuminating our living room for the past 30 years and over. The new neighbours have been in their property for 2 years but completely ruined my enjoyment of my home by robbing us of the same light, sunlight and view!...Try to think of other people living near you, as it could have an impact on them!
Thanks for the essay. Neighbours had no issues and love the extension.
@@markjdraper that shut her up😅
shit happens 🤣
Do you have to be in front of camera all the time, 95% you, 5% off work,???????????????????
@@markjdraper sorry you didn't get it.
