Are they empty rooms... or kitchen/bathroom..????
It makes a big difference, whats the ground like for footings... does it need pileing..?? what are the walls to be.... rendered, or brick??? so many things make a big difference.,.... i'm currently involved in two house extensions and both are over 100k..... and one of them is only single storey, three rooms... plus changing the existing interior a bit aswell.... you don't get a lot for 35k these days.,....!!!

If you are going for local quotes, make sure you get references of previous work and also go and speak to the references, get the reference straight from the horses mouth and you might get a chance to see previous workmanship.
Remember you would not give yourself a bad reference;)
Too many cowboy builders out there:thumb:
good luck

Live near to York, and our 2 story extension (7.5m x 5m) cost roughly £40k fully finished, but that had loads of problems.

Awkward neighbours, so had to build overhand.
Bricks had to match the 1850 originals (£500 per thousand)
Need a raft as the base, due to poor ground.
Old part of the house needed fully tanking
Slate had to match the original part of the house, ie natural slate
Fully plastered, and fitted out.
Extension covered 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom upstairs, 1 kitchen diner, 1 utility room, and one downstairs showeroom and WC.

Granted we did quite a bit of the internals ourselves, but i still thought it was cheap.

We had a 2 story extension built 3 years ago, 21ft x 12ft lounge, plus upstairs bedroom and en-suite for around 28K. Flooring, furniture, paint and soft furnishings pushed the cost up though, just painting and installing the skirting boards this weekend.......

I guess 35-40K would be about right.

No probs m8, but pretend I lived in Grimsby, how much for the 12x18 rear single storey? How much would the fully finished product cost?
