Side return/wrap around extension on Barry Road

Recommended Posts

Hello,


We are looking to do a side return, wrap around extension to our flat on the ground floor of a victorian semi detached property. Is anyone happy with work they have had done and want to show it off? It would be great to see some examples of what people have done and hear the lessons learned. There's a bottle of wine/ginger beer in it for you as well as getting that warm fuzzy feeling of helping some neighbours out!!

We have an idea of what we want but are exploring the possibilities. We are currently engaging architects and builders to see if we can actually do what we are looking to do and to get an idea of price range. Any recommendations of people to work with would also be appreciated.


Cheers


Roger and Kate on Barry Road.

    • Silly comment.  Read the attachment.  Or go to i-player and watch Winterwatch: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/documentaries/winterwatch-jack-baddams-protect-birds-comment/ Our gardens are not natural, many of the birds that use them are dependent on us.  Most of us feed the birds, including myself, do it for our own pleasure rather than in a belief that we are reversing the damage done to nature by humans over recent centuries.
    • Thanks @Sue I had no idea what they delivered. Personally I just dont get why anyone living in London would bother with something like this, We can all pop down the road and buy bread, pastries etc and know what we're getting.. Just seems a bit of a yuppie fad and waste of money. But thats just my opinion!
    • How to you grow these? I've scattered meadow flower seeds many a time, but thistles don't take and I doubt if alder and birch is common round here.  Teasels pop up now and then, but even if they are self seeding usually don't see them the next year.  It was nice seeing the gold finches feeding off these when I do have them.  I do let the dandelions grow but not sure I've seen finches feeding off them.  I understand they are a great source of nectar for bees, butterflies and the like. On a related subject my lawns have changed greatly over the last couple of decades, warmer wetter winters, springs, earlier springs, droughts in the summer.  Moss and brambles thrive....
    • Sadly true though. I've just replenished my (clean)  feeders and put out suet blocks and logs. Now I'm waiting for the pigeons and squirrels to descend 🤣
