Most people don’t move because they want to. They move because they run out of room. A growing family, a new job, a hobby that needs more than the kitchen table. The thing is, in Banstead, space isn’t always somewhere else. It’s often right where you are. Sitting in the air above your ceiling, or just behind a back wall that’s never done much but hold up a gutter. And that’s where we come in.
We don’t talk in circles. We don’t make things complicated. We build. Carefully, neatly, with your lifestyle in mind. Whether it’s a loft that needs waking up or a ground floor ready to grow, we’re the team that makes the space fit the people, not the other way round.
In Banstead, many houses lend themselves well to a loft conversion—especially the classic 1930s semis, post-war terraces and detached homes dotted along the leafy roads.
If you’ve got a pitched roof and a bit of head height, there’s a strong chance you’ve already paid for the footprint of your next bedroom. Or study. Or quiet place to get away from it all.
A dormer conversion is one of the most common choices locally. It adds a box-shaped structure to the back or side of your roof, giving you vertical walls and plenty of usable space. You get proper windows, a full-sized bed, and no need to duck every time you stand up.
If you’ve got a detached house or a hip-ended roof, a hip-to-gable conversion might make more sense. It straightens up the slope on the side of your roof, giving you enough space for a full staircase and a layout that feels like it belongs.
Then there’s the mansard, a more involved option that changes the entire shape of your roof. It’s popular in London but works well on older homes in Banstead too. You’ll usually need planning permission—but if you want the maximum room and the finish to match the rest of the house, it’s worth it.
And if the roof’s already got enough room inside, a Velux conversion could be enough. No changes to the structure—just windows, insulation, flooring and some sharp joinery. Simple, quiet, and fast.
A loft conversion builds up. But sometimes what you need is to build out.
In Banstead, where gardens are still generous and plots have breathing space, a house extension can make all the difference. No stairs to climb. No need to move the kids into bunk beds. Just more space, where it’s needed.
A rear extension is the most common route. It opens up the kitchen. Creates a proper family room. Adds doors that spill out onto the garden, especially in the summer. You’d be surprised how different a house feels with one extra row of bricks.
A side return extension makes use of that narrow alleyway running down the side of many homes. It’s the sort of space people forget—until you turn it into a breakfast nook or a laundry area and wonder how you ever lived without it.
If you’ve got the room, a wraparound extension pulls both those ideas together. It gives you a corner of the house that does more than just hold shoes and shopping bags. Something functional. Something lovely.
And for those thinking long-term, there’s the two-storey extension. A bigger kitchen downstairs. An extra bedroom upstairs. All built in one go, all under one roof.
If you’re ready to stay put but live better, we’re ready to build the space you need.
