Contemporary Rear Extension & Internal Renovation
Single-Storey Rear Extension | Guernsey
A larger, brighter living space that blends seamlessly with the existing home
This project involved the construction of a high-quality single-storey rear extension, creating a larger and more functional living space while blending seamlessly with the existing property. The works included structural alterations, new construction, roofing, insulation, internal finishes and preparation for the client's new kitchen installation.
What we delivered on this extension
Structural alterations without disrupting the home
Extending to the rear meant demolishing the existing structure, installing steelwork to carry the new openings and tying the new build into an occupied property — all while keeping the finished result looking like it had always been part of the house.
Because we handle demolition, structural works, roofing, insulation, plastering and finishing in-house, the programme ran as one continuous sequence with no waiting between trades.
From demolition to final finishes
Every stage of this Guernsey extension was managed by our own team — structure, weatherproofing, insulation and internal finishes all sequenced as one job.
