Hi all!
I am new on here and just wanted some advice. I have googled a lot and not been able to find my answer.
Right, so basically i am trying to build a small extension to my house. My neighbour already has done a very large extension and i will be using his wall. However whilst his extention is about 18 feet, mine will be far smaller - about 7 feet. I am looking to make it using blocks and it will be quicker and cheaper. The roof can be the plastic sheets as it will also be cheaper i believe.
So it will be attached to the house but with a slope style plastic sheet roof. Total height will be about 7 feet. I only really need it as a store room to keep the kids bike out of the rain so it does not need anything fancy.
The question i have is, do i need foundation for an extension this size? My garden already has been concreted over. The reason why i am doing a self build is because i was quoted £5k by a builder which is something i do not have.
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
