Hi
Be grateful for any help here. In my album you’ll see a view of conservatory which was built about 3 years ago. At that time we also considered having a bigger conservatory/extension which would extend to the end of the house. The builder said he could then include a downstairs toilet 9which we don’t have), possible a small room for a pc and extend kitchen etc.
We went for the cheaper option as the bigger job would be about £40k and would involve moving the two drain covers (also shown in the album).
I should explain that we had to get planning and also Water Company “bridge over agreement” for the exiting conservatory.
My question is whether we can now extend the conservatory to more or less get what we wanted earlier? How complicated would this be? Can a builder reuse the end section of the conservatory and just extend the roof? Would it be better to have brick wall at end to accommodate toilet and additional room etc etc? Is moving manhole covers going to make job much more expensive and complicated?
Also what sort of planning/building regs process would we have to go through?
Many thanks for your advice in advance.
