What answer would i get scrap conserv to build bigger ext

[clubb699]

Hi all,

I am looking into extending the house on the side but in all honestly i should of done a L shape extension but i built a conservatory at the back about 2 years ago.

My question is what would the procedure be if i have the L wrap around ext would i be able to use the foundations i put in and the floor or would all these have to be ripped out ( if thats the case i will not do it) after spending the money on it seems a waste of money.

I went down a meter on the conny foundations i could see the top of house foundations when i stopped, i feel i did this job very well the floors reinforced 5 inch if i remember correctly will this be good anough or a none starter i have got pics of my build stages to show building???


Thanks for your time

Foundations would need to satisfy BC sounds like they probably do assuming they're wide/thick enough (may have to do a trial hole if the photos aren't great). Is the slab lower than the ground floor finished level? As you'll need to add insulation unless its insulated already.

Alright freddy,

Ok might be time to give them a call then i thought the responce would be a defo NO you have give me a bit of hope there was 100mm insulation and the finishes in line with house floor not sure if this is anough to satisfy BC

I would say you are probably best to think you'll be starting again. The local BCO will agree on site once you have exposed the foundations, but I fear he'll take the safety root first.
