    I had a similar extension in the south east, but managed it myself. Used trade accounts where I could and the total cost came in at £68k.  That did included 45m2 oak flooring, granite worktops, 5m aluminium sliding doors (so much better than bi-folds!) and a Morso wood burner.  These 4 things alone cost £12k so we spent on the finishing touches
    When you say managed it yourself do you mean project managed the whole extension or actually did labour work on the extension itself??

    Whereabouts are you in the South East, @davilown?

    I'm getting quotes for my mega-extension but didn't think I would come to much less than £100k, even before fittings.
    In between Portsmouth and Chichester - depends where you are and how much time you're willing to put into it.
