I would start by using the word 'too' instead of '2' as text speak is not only infuriating, but will also encourage people to take you less seriously.

Start at around £7000 to get up to dpc.

sorry about that not that good with grammer.
7000 that sounds a lot just for matierals,how would you break this down

The chances that you original "lean to" complied to Building Regs. For an extension are not good but it probably didn't have to. Given that's the case, you may have already contravened BR's by removing the doors separated the main house from the lean to.

Problem is it's probably not just a case of extending or building on what you currently have; if it doesn't comply with current BR's, you will have to knock it down, dig it up & start again, including the foundations. The total cost of your new extension will reflect that unless you are planning to do the all the work yourself.

hi i intend to knock down and dig new foundations.lean to has no footings and is just timber frame.do you think 7000 is about right to get up to dpc for 6 x 4 meters cheers

May even be more than £7000 as I have just noticed a cheeky soil pipe at the corner of the existing structure so you will need to move the drains outside your proposed new build.

First thing you will have to do is contact your water co and pay them for the privilge of telling you who owns the drains.
From there it can get even more expensive if they own it unfortunately.

Good luck
