From the Ground Up – #11

Finishing Bases, Improving Performance & Clean Site Standards

This week we’re upgrading an older project, completing base and brickwork after weather delays, and transforming an old conservatory footprint into a functional new space. Across Petersfield, Chichester, and Shoreham, progress continues at different stages.

Let’s get into it!

• The existing conservatory has now been removed, with a new base and walls built in its place.
• A 900mm dwarf wall gives the structure the feel of a proper extension while allowing space for built-in units, turning this into a highly functional porch area.
• The base has been raised to match the internal house floor, creating smoother flow between the house and new extension.

• Although this project was completed in December 2025, we’re back on site to upgrade the existing base.
• High-quality Celotex insulation has been installed, followed by a screeded finish, allowing the customer to lay any flooring while keeping the floor warm and efficient.
• Just a few final details remain before we return for final photography next month – keep an eye out for the finished look.

• After an extended period due to poor weather, the base and brickwork are now fully complete.
• New steps have been built to provide clean access into the garden.
• The site has been fully washed down and left tidy – part of our Clean Site Promise: if the site isn’t left clean, we pay for a professional clean the next day.

That’s a Wrap For This Week
