As a construction professional myself the quote was utterly ridiculous. They either didn’t want the work, misunderstood what you were asking for or didn’t know how to price the job properly. Yes construction costs have gone up, but not by that much
When builders quote this high is because they do not want the job.
I am blown away by the quote; for a first fix, they are having a flipping laugh. My very first thought was that they had seen your channel, thought that you had infinite pockets, and tried their luck. Keep going, and don't get disheartened; all four of you are doing great xx
I have trouble understanding your English when you spesak quickly. love the video otherwise
not my house, or my problem, but if it were me, i would enjoy my lovely house, and all the work you have done, just the way it is. Taking on more debt and stress would be the last thing on my mind
Just a question…….why not be happy with what you have?, you have a beautiful house that now is complete with your baby boy. Today we live in a consuming world that always is tempting us to get in more and more debt. Hope you guys are doing well. Best wishes from Florida.
I’m in Milton Keynes. I added an orangery style conservatory two years ago, completely renovated my back garden with raised beds and railway sleepers, put in a new high end kitchen, put limestone flooring throughout the ground floor of my home, decorated the entire ground floor, bought a new sofa and floor to ceiling media center….it cost me just over £100k. Definitely shop about. Make sure it’s all written down…even document taking the rubbish away. I found communication was dreadful. No one would commit to a start date…. It was a nightmare…I basically lived on a building site for 8 months. The only way in and out of my garden was through the house xx
£165,000? 😢We live in Cambridge and would like to extend our Victorian house - knock down the flat-roofed bathroom on the ground floor and build a kitchen extension. We’ve been quoted £120,000 for the work. We began renovating the interior of the house (a full renovation, like yours, back to bricks) before the pandemic. The cost of building materials has since soared. It’s horrifying! Do you live in an affluent area like Cambridge? Is there a shortage of builders? I would also ask, out of curiosity - why do you want to extend the house? Is it truly necessary? It looks to be extremely large and ample enough for your family, as it is.
I think they saw how beautifully the rest of your house is done and quadrupled it! Are the aware that you most of the work yourselves? That quote is actually shocking!!!
Hi Laura and Ollie. Don’t worry about hair loss postpartum as this happens to many women. During pregnancy, we are often told we are’ blooming’ with thick shiny hair and great skin. However, it’s mainly due to the change in our hormones and the usual daily loss of hair is far less during these months. Once having given birth,however, we tend to lose the hair which we didn’t do during pregnancy and it is a bit scary! It will find its balance but sometimes, our hair is not quite as thick as before but a small price to pay for giving the gift of life to your beautiful son.The estimate you have been given is frightening, to say the least and will need much contemplation before making a
Laura, hope everyone and everything is okay. I missed you the last two weeks. 💕
Laura, I missed you, Teddy and Ollie this week. I hope everything is okay. ❤
£165,000!!! Blimey I would expect it all done for that amount.. Maybe we are all delusional.. live your little family xxxx
Have you seen “Gosforth Handyman” - his video “How much does a UK house extension really cost?” breaks down the costs in vast detail. His initial quotes varied by about £80K !!!
This is a great example of why you should always get at least 3 quotes, as you are doing. You always get one that is very high. The cost of building supplies has shot up massively as we found when purchasing some fencing. We did an extension on the back of the house and went up as well. It cost us about £65,000. If you persevere you will get someone nearer your budget. Good luck guys. Teddy is gorgeous and don’t worry too much about your hair. It does get better as time goes on❤️
Hi Laura ,
That quote was absolutely excessive! You’re not delusional. I agree with everyone else here they didn’t want the job. Keep your heads up the right builders will come along 😊
Hey Laura, not sure if this helps but we live fairly near you and are in the middle of an extension. Our extensions is just the back of the house and about 9x3metres. For everything included (kitchen, electrics, final fix, flooring etc) it's costing is £125k. I think your quote is a bit too high so hopefully other builders do come back but its not completely ridiculous. We got multiple quotes and the common theme was how prices for everything have gone up! Hope this helps and love your videos!!!
Your little guy seems to be starting the teething process. Frozen bananas are great for teething babies and also for beginning finger foods.
Perhaps the universe is pushing the pause button to protect you right now with that quote. I’m in the US. Things are quite unstable in most places, inflation is making everything more difficult. Maybe you take a break and just let all the changes you’ve gone through settle in. As a mom of 4 this time goes by so fast. My youngest graduated last year, that’s when it hit me how fast. Maybe just breathe and enjoy for now. BTW, it’s ok to be a little blue about life and postpartum stuff. The hair loss is quite normal. Look into castor oil. What a difference it made for me! (And I quit doing any hair products or dye.) I get compliments now. Even my eyebrows grew thicker! ❤
