Single-Storey Dining Extension
Single-Storey Dining Extension | Guernsey
A bright new dining space, seamlessly integrated with the existing home
T.A. Construction was appointed to construct a bespoke single-storey dining extension in Guernsey, creating a bright and spacious new living area while seamlessly integrating it with the existing property. The project included all structural works, drainage installation, internal finishes and complete decoration, delivering a high-quality home extension ready for immediate use.
What we delivered on this house extension
Extend the home — without it ever looking like an extension
The aim was to extend the property's dining space while ensuring the new build blended seamlessly with the existing home. The project called for careful planning, structural accuracy and high-quality finishing to produce a modern, practical living space that reads as part of the original house — not an add-on.
As local building contractors in Guernsey, we were able to sequence groundworks, drainage, structural walls, roofing and finishes in one continuous programme.
