Building in Guildford
Guildford blends a historic town centre with surrounding villages and suburbs, mixing period houses with larger plots on the edges of town. That variety supports extensions, loft conversions and new-builds alike.

What we deliver in Guildford
Each Guildford street has its own typical layout — Victorian terrace, Edwardian semi, 1930s detached. We adapt the recommendation to the house, the planning context and how you actually want to live.
From period-house rear extensions in town to large additions on suburban and village plots, Guildford's range of homes suits a wide spread of extension work.
Loft conversions add bedrooms and en-suites to Guildford's family homes, in town and in the surrounding villages.
Guildford's larger plots and village settings make new-builds and replacement dwellings genuinely viable — we run them from feasibility to handover.
SERVICE 01 House extensions in Guildford
A house extension is the biggest investment you can make in your home — it should transform how your family lives, not just add square metres. We design every extension around how you actually use your space, with a fixed, itemised price and stage-based payments so you stay in control from first sketch to handover.

SERVICE 02 Loft conversions in Guildford
A loft conversion adds an entire floor without losing any garden. We design lofts as proper rooms — full-height ceilings, generous windows, en-suite bathrooms — not afterthoughts squeezed into the rafters.

New build is the most ambitious thing you can do — a chance to design exactly the home you want from the ground up. We have delivered single houses on infill plots, full plot developments, and demolition + rebuild projects. We work with leading architects or your own.

Possibly — many Surrey streets are within conservation areas which restrict materials and detailing. We have approved schemes in conservation areas across the borough.

Build cost in this part of London runs £2,500–£4,000 per square metre for a finished extension including kitchen and finishes. Our calculator gives a personalised estimate.
