Construction Services in Surrey

Surrey combines exceptional natural beauty with some of the Home Counties' most desirable residential markets. From the Victorian villas of Guildford and Reigate to the rural properties of the Surrey Hills AONB, and the commuter belt towns of Woking, Epsom, and Redhill, Surrey's diverse housing stock creates consistent demand for high-quality construction services. The county's proximity to London — and the premium on space that brings — drives strong demand for extensions, loft conversions, and new builds on generous rural plots.

Our Surrey team brings London-grade quality and construction expertise to every project in the county. We understand Surrey's varied planning environment: from the Green Belt constraints that cover a significant proportion of the county to the conservation area policies of historic market towns and the design guidance applying to properties within the Surrey Hills AONB. Whether you are extending a Victorian semi in Guildford or building a new home on a rural plot near Dorking, we deliver the planning expertise and build quality your project deserves.

Surrey Housing Stock

Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in town centres, inter-war semis and detached houses in suburbs, rural farmhouses and period cottages, large detached houses on generous plots in affluent commuter villages, new-build estates.

Planning in Surrey

Surrey is administered by 11 borough and district councils — including Guildford, Waverley, Mole Valley, Tandridge, Reigate & Banstead, Epsom & Ewell, Woking, Runnymede, Surrey Heath, Spelthorne, and Elmbridge — each with distinct Local Plans. Green Belt covers approximately 25% of Surrey's land, creating significant constraints on development outside existing settlements.

The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty imposes additional design scrutiny across a wide swathe of the county. Conservation areas in historic towns — Guildford, Farnham, Godalming, Haslemere — require sympathetic design and high-quality materials. Flood risk from the River Thames, Wey, and other watercourses affects some parts of the county and requires flood risk assessments. Outside conservation areas and Green Belt, Surrey's residential suburbs generally benefit from standard permitted development rights, making most extensions and loft conversions achievable without planning applications.

FAQs — Construction in Surrey

Does Green Belt designation restrict home extensions in Surrey?

Green Belt affects new buildings and major development far more than modest home extensions. Extending an existing dwelling within the Green Belt is generally treated as an inappropriate development only if it results in a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling's size. Extensions of up to 25–30% of the original floorspace are often acceptable in principle, subject to design quality and local authority policy. We assess the specific constraints on your property before advising.

Which council covers my Surrey property?

Surrey has 11 borough and district councils covering different parts of the county, plus Surrey County Council for strategic matters. We identify the correct planning authority for your property as part of our initial assessment, and manage the full planning process with the relevant council on your behalf.

Are planning rules different in the Surrey Hills AONB?

Yes. Properties within the Surrey Hills AONB are subject to additional design scrutiny. Planning applications must demonstrate that proposals conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the AONB. This typically means higher standards for materials, design, and landscaping than would apply outside the AONB. We work with architects experienced in AONB design requirements.
