House Extension With Kitchen Installation

Extension Overview

Cutwood Joinery was appointed to undertake the complete design and construction of this house extension in Ayrshire. The homeowner wanted to replace an outdated conservatory with a larger, more practical space that could function as an open-plan kitchen and living area. The aim was to create a bright, modern environment that seamlessly connected to the existing house while improving energy efficiency and overall functionality.

The project required a well-coordinated approach, involving multiple stages from initial demolition through to the final internal finishes. Careful planning was essential to ensure that the new extension blended with the existing structure while also incorporating high-performance materials and fixtures.

By fully managing the project, Cutwood Joinery provided a streamlined process that allowed for efficient scheduling and a high standard of workmanship at every stage.
