Side Return Advice - Landells Road


Dulwich-ite

Recommended Posts

Hi All,


First time poster and will be a resident in East Dulwich very soon.


We have recently bought a 2 bed terrace house on Landells Road.


We would like to have the side return extension done.


HOWEVER, some of the prices that are being thrown around terrify me.


The area of the side return is around 6.88 sq meters. The kitchen in its current state is 7.17 sq m.


Could anyone please advise what the building costs of this would be (ignoring the cost of the kitchen itself)?


To cut back on cost we would likely not extend past the current length of the house. The doors etc don't need to be too fancy.


Any help/experience would be massively appreciated. Any builders out there please chip in!!


Thanks in advance,

Have a word with Angela Lyon of Orbital Chartered Surveyors. As a Chartered Quantity Surveyor she can cost a project accurately to within pennies. No shabby estimates with her. As a Chartered Buildings Surveyor, yup, she's double chartered, she can take into consideration factors relating to the existing building and if you like her over-all cost, she can get the whole project done for you under one roof, which is her motto. She's over 40 years experience in this (started in her teens). It's worth a chat with someone that knows what they're talking about at least. Then you'd get an idea if the prices you're getting are realistic or off this planet.

Hi Jimi,


Thanks for your advise, that is not a route we had previously considered.


It would be great to hear from anyone who has done a basic side return extension on a 2 bed Victorian.


I should have mentioned, it is end of terrace if that makes a difference...


Many thanks,

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
