Rear Extension – Camberwell, London

This project involved the construction of a new single-storey rear extension, designed to create a bright and open-plan living space. The extension features large bi-fold doors and a skylight to maximise natural light, along with underfloor heating for added comfort. Matching floor tiles were laid from the interior through to the patio area, creating a seamless transition and a strong indoor-outdoor connection.

To enable the new layout, we removed the existing ground floor rear wall and old conservatory-style kitchen. This required careful propping of the first floor and installation of structural steelwork to support the open-plan design. The existing French doors were replaced with a sleek glass balustrade overlooking the new garden patio.

A temporary kitchen was set up to allow the clients to remain in the property throughout the works. The project was completed with a brand-new kitchen installation and full internal redecoration of the new space, resulting in a clean, modern finish throughout.

Gemini was recommended to us from our architect. We had a kitchen extension built at the back of our terraced house in Camberwell. We are very happy with the results. It was scheduled to take 3 months and Gary and his team kept to it. We were delayed by 2 weeks but that was due to me ordering our kitchen too late. Gary provided us with a schedule of works outlining the dates and length each process of work would be dealt with. This was very helpful as we could plan things around it. We stayed in the house during the build and found the team polite and respectful. We were fortunate enough to have our architect work with us throughout the project so design ideas came from her however Gary also came up with some great ideas too which we took on board (having a glass balustrade was one idea). The carpenters installed the kitchen for us and were very good at suggesting and making any design changes needed during installation. Our neighbour carried out a kitchen extension at the same time and Gary and the team worked really well with her builders and architect. The work and quality of finish has been excellent. From our experience with Gemini we highly recommend them.
