Hi all, I am in the process of buying a house.
It currently has a narrow galley kitchen which is c. 2.6m x 1.7m, I would like to remove one of the walls to open it up to the dining room.
As well as this, there is an a small, single skin outbuilding of c. 1.5m x 1.5m attached onto the end of the kitchen supporting a small slate roof which is accessed through a door at the end of the kitchen and acts as a make shift utility with a UPVC door into the garden.
This outbuilding is a lower level than the rest of the house. I'm thinking i'll need the outhouse to be insulated/or double skinned (which ever is best), the UPVC door removing and bricking up, the rear kitchen wall knocking through so that the outhouse now becomes part of the kitchen and the floor raising so that it is all the same level.
I'm fairly sure 2 x RSJ's will be required, one for the internal wall which will be removed to open the kitchen up to the dining room and the second one for the part of the rear kitchen wall which will be removed to open the outhouse into the kitchen. The rear kitchen wall is the a double skin cavity wall and the opening will be about 1.8m. The internal wall being removed is about 2.7m.
I've done some pretty crude plans to show what I mean...
I'm OK with doing some of the leg work myself in terms of taking down the walls etc in an effort to save on labour costs and will be using a SE to calculate for the steels.
I know this is a bit of a long shot but does anyone know how much something like this would cost roughly?
