I wish I had seen your post before in regards to the slate although the pick up of them might've been an issue, but 90p for high quality reclaimed welsh slate seems fantastic value. To the 1st poster when I needed slate I just settled for looking online and ended up getting slate from here https://www.scotiaroofingsuppliesltd.co.uk/tiles-and-slates - Wont be that cheap however was happy enough with price and slate quality however if knew about the facebook marketplace I would've and will use that from now on myself. Don't know what type of cladding you are looking for but when I recently got some I found that most of the quotes I got were quite expensive, and the companies that came in cheaper usually made it back with their delivery costs. Anyway ended up ordering cedar cladding from this company here https://dalply.co.uk/timber-cladding/ again happy enough with everything however I now also wish that I went looking for cladding on the facebook marketplace! Hope that helps and good luck with the extension!

Any plans / specs or pictures you can share?

Jesus the thought of that sent shivers down my spine... ?

I have only recently discovered Pinterest, but I must say it really is brilliant for inspiration. Everything little project I take on now I spend at least an hour or two looking through Pinterest.

Like some of the others here we made up some designs first, then contacted an architect who luckily enough for us was really nice and improved on our initial plans also though in keeping with what we had envisioned. Overall we had a positive experience with our man, however I have heard that some architects aren't as flexible or cooperative with the design.

I would say anywhere between £1,200 to £2,500 per m2 depending on design specs.

I am in a similar position will be looking into stairs (quarter turn) soon for a little project, thinking about full Oak or Oak with glass. Have often thought about sourcing materials from abroad, however was not sure if it would be worth it after factoring delivery costs. Be interested to see the actual price difference.

Hi all, I have finally decided to join having been a guest on this forum for a very long time. Have found some really great advice throughout the time I have been reading this forum. Now spending a lot more time at home so I am looking to take on bigger DIY projects. Hopefully the great advice from you guys will continue. So just wanted to say hi, and also thank you for all the help you have unknowingly provided me in the past! Cheers TT
