Builders in Guildford for extensions, loft conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and full refurbishments across GU1 to GU5. Free quotes, fully insured.
We work across Guildford and its surrounding neighbourhoods, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton and the Victorian terraces of Charlotteville. From a single bathroom to a full house refurbishment, it is the same team from first visit to final walk-round.
Guildford Borough Council looks after planning and building control here. We prepare and submit the drawings, deal with the council and sort any party-wall agreements before work starts.
Guildford is built on slopes, and that shows up in the work. Split levels, retaining walls, steps down to a garden and drainage that has to run the right way are all common, and they need designing rather than improvising. The town centre and Charlotteville also have conservation areas to respect.
Guildford runs from the Victorian terraces of Charlotteville to the larger houses of Onslow Village and the newer streets around Merrow and Burpham. The terraces need the usual side-return and rear work to make the ground floor usable; the larger properties tend towards two-storey extensions and full refurbishment. There is also a fair amount of period property here needing careful structural attention.
Guildford is notably hilly, and sloping plots affect both design and groundwork more than they would on flat sites. Retaining structures, stepped foundations and level changes are routine rather than exceptional. Guildford Borough Council also takes design quality seriously, particularly near the town centre and in the conservation areas, so a scheme that responds to its surroundings will have a far easier time.
Side-return and rear extensions on the Charlotteville terraces, and larger two-storey work in Onslow Village and Merrow, make up the bulk of our Guildford projects. Sloping plots mean retaining structures and stepped foundations are routine here rather than exceptional.

Yes. We work right across Guildford (GU1 to GU5) and the surrounding streets, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Charlotteville and the town centre, on jobs of every size from a single bathroom to a full renovation.
Most extensions, loft conversions and structural jobs do. Guildford falls under Guildford Borough Council, and we work to their planning and building control requirements, helping you get the drawings, approvals and party-wall agreements in order before we start.
It makes it more of a design job than a standard rear extension, but it is very common in Guildford. Level changes affect foundations, retaining walls, steps and where the water goes. We work all of that out on paper first so the quote reflects the real job.
Guildford is the furthest part of our patch, so we usually arrange a first visit within a week and confirm the appointment beforehand.
Yes. We come out, look at it properly, and the written quote costs you nothing.
