Can you please advise me as to what I can expect as an ball park figure at cost per metre square.
I live in an one and half story traditional Suffolk thatched cottage and am considering extending it onto one gable end at 12' x 14' using block work plastered over and slate roof. To incorporate small stairwell into bedroom with ensuite W.C. / shower.
Any advise appreciated.

£1,300.00 m² minimum.

So there you have it - an instant £5k difference between two approximate m2 rates.

m2 rates would not include your bathroom fit or the stairs, and are generally for a shell, some basic electrics and a radiator and plaster. But slightly different foundations or drainage, and the roof connection to the existing can easily add a few £000 to any approximate.

If money is an issue get it priced properly

Thank you for all replies/advise, I will at least be able to get myself some sort of ball park figure in my head now.
