Guildford Building Project Management

Planning is critical to delivering a seamless and successful Guildford based building project. We understand that you are busy and a building project can be stressful, so we manage the full process with our architect and structural engineer, from brief right through to construction, including planning & Guildford Council CIL applications, structural, building control and sign off.

Building Extensions Guildford

Extending your Guildford home is a great way of maximising the potential of your property to give you the extra space without the cost, inconvenience and stress associated with moving home.

Whether you have your own architects’ plans already completed or wish to use our expertise to draw these up for you, understanding your very specific requirements and working with the existing fabric of the property allows us to create a tailor-made solution for the additional living space you need.

We make every step of the process as stress-free as possible, from partitioning off the construction works should you stay at home whilst the extension is being constructed to providing samples of finished materials for you to select from.

We understand that not all extensions are straightforward and the different types of ground make up across Guildford can require different construction approaches but our many years of experience assure you of every attention to detail to provide longevity for your investment.

Guildford Roofing Projects

Whether you’re creating a cut rafter roof, flat roof with ornate coping stones or a pitched tile or slate roof, we are always mindful to ensure any new roofing, works with the existing building or style of your Guildford property you wish to achieve.

Covering all types of roofing, we use only quality materials that provide longevity and peace and mind.

We invest time to find the closest match possible to existing tiles or the right style of slate for the age of the house and pride ourselves in the finishing, ensuring that lead works and pointing are flawless.

Guildford Kitchen Projects

Your kitchen is the heart of the Guildford home – designing a space that works for you and your family is much more than the physical cabinets and appliances.

Planning a new kitchen is exciting but we don’t forget that you may be living in the property and will ensure we plan the removal of cabinets and appliances with you and set up a temporary kitchen to ensure a stress-free transition from old kitchen to your fantastic new kitchen.

We have worked with most of the larger kitchen companies in Guildford and are always happy to work alongside them for scheduling or providing practical help for drainage, heating or working around structural steels.

Alternatively, our highly skilled carpenters can fit your kitchen for you, achieving the best quality finish. Depending on the supplier, we can also order and manage the whole process for you, including any necessary returns, changes or additional parts, alongside the scheduling of worktop templating and installation, plumbing and all electrical installations and fittings.

New Bathroom Builds Guildford

Whilst your bathroom can be considered as a functional room, it still needs careful consideration to provide the practicalities, storage and finish you have in mind.

Details such as low level lighting, storage recesses, concealed cisterns and tiling all need to be thought at the early stages so that they can be incorporated during construction and provide you with the bathroom luxuries you and your family deserve.

We will always guide you through the process, manage the details and can put you in touch with the right supplier for your budget.
