We are looking to have a small groundfloor-only extension built at rear of our semi to enlarge kitchen and dining area - which will then be open plan. The existing kitchen is solid floor; the dining bit is suspended T&G floorboards.
We simply visualised the kitchen would be extended out as a solid floor and the dining bit would be extended with new suspended floorboards to match the existing stuff.
Three possible builders have each said they would do the new bits entirely as solid floor - and looked blank when I pointed out that would give us a dining area with a part solid/part suspended floor, so not really acceptable. Plus it would also need to have a new ch radiator installed (above solid floor).
Is there something I am missing here? Maybe it's me. Or are they all just looking to do job in fastest/easiest way to get paid asap?
Advice and comments appreciated. Thanks.
