BUILDING IN GUILDFORD
From town-centre period houses to village properties on the fringes, we design and build extensions, lofts and remodels across the GU postcodes. Our Surrey portfolio includes a Weybridge extension and a Claygate new-build — same team, fixed itemised price.
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.
Local advantage
Why homeowners in Guildford choose Dali Pro Services for house extensions
01 · PLANNING HANDLED
Permitted development or full planning — we tell you which on the first visit.
Many single-storey rear and side-return extensions in Guildford fall under permitted development; double-storey and wrap-around schemes usually need a full application to Guildford Borough Council. Larger plots mean less party-wall friction, but Green Belt and character policies can shape what a scheme can win — we design to those constraints from the first sketch. Our own team prepares the drawings and submits the application — one point of contact owns both the approvals and the build.
02 · ONE TEAM
Steels, thresholds and the kitchen — one team owns every junction.
An extension lives or dies where old meets new: the steel opening, the level threshold to the garden, the drainage runs, the kitchen that anchors the space. Our architects, structural engineers and site team sit in the same office, so nothing is lost between a designer’s drawing and a builder’s interpretation.
03 · TRANSPARENT PRICING
From £2,500 / m² — itemised and fixed.
Your quotation is broken down line by line — groundworks, shell, glazing, fit-out — and fixed against the agreed drawings. You pay in stages, only after each stage is signed off; variations only happen when scope genuinely changes, through written authorisation.

Will I need planning permission in Guildford?

A single-storey extension takes 12–16 weeks from breaking ground to completion. Double-storey runs 16–22 weeks.
Can we live in the house during the build?
For most rear extensions, yes. We dust-seal the working area and maintain access to your kitchen and bathroom.
