— What we do in Banstead
The renovations we deliver across Banstead.
Kitchen extensions with garden views
Banstead’s larger plots and generous gardens make rear and wrap-around extensions particularly effective. Open-plan kitchen-diners with bi-fold or sliding doors opening to landscaped gardens, structural steel where needed, full Building Regs insulation, roof lanterns or flat roofs depending on planning. See extensions and loft conversion services.
Loft conversions for growing families
Dormer and hip-to-gable conversions for the 1930s and post-war semis are common across Banstead — typically adding one or two bedrooms with an ensuite. Most fall under permitted development through Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, with Lawful Development Certificate and Building Regs required rather than full planning permission. See loft conversion services.
Bathroom renovations
Family bathrooms, en-suites and luxury wet rooms — full installations with proper waterproofing, underfloor heating and premium fittings. Most Banstead properties have the space for separate shower and bath layouts. See bathroom renovation gallery for examples.
Full house refurbishments
Complete refurbishments of three and four-bedroom Banstead family homes — kitchen and bathrooms, rewire, replaster, flooring, structural work where layouts need reconfiguring. Typical project 16-24 weeks. See property refurbishment service for tiered pricing.
Electrical upgrades and rewires
Modern electrical upgrades for older Banstead properties — full rewires, consumer unit replacements, EICR reports for landlords, additional sockets and lighting circuits during refurbishments. NICEIC certified, Part P compliant. See electrical services.

— Planning in Banstead
Planning permission and Reigate & Banstead Council.
Banstead falls under Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. Most single-storey rear extensions (up to 4m for terraced, 6m for detached), loft conversions under 40m³, and side returns within certain limits fall under permitted development — meaning Lawful Development Certificate and Building Regs only, not full planning permission.
Important constraints in Banstead: properties bordering Banstead Downs SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), Green Belt boundaries, the conservation area around Banstead High Street, and any double-storey extension typically require full planning permission. We check your specific property’s planning history during the initial site visit — saves clients from designing something that won’t get approved.

— Common questions
Frequently asked.
Do you serve Banstead and SM7 postcodes?
Yes. We’re based in South Croydon (CR2), around fifteen minutes from Banstead Village. We work regularly across SM7, plus surrounding Surrey postcodes including Nork, Burgh Heath, Tadworth, Kingswood and Chipstead.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Banstead?
Most single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development through Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. Green Belt boundaries, properties near Banstead Downs SSSI, and the High Street conservation area have stricter rules. We check your specific property at the initial site visit.
How long does a kitchen extension take?
Typically 12-20 weeks on site for a single-storey rear extension with a new kitchen. Add 4-12 weeks before that for design, planning approval, and Building Regs drawings depending on whether permitted development applies.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
For loft conversions and most rear extensions, yes — we seal off the work area, manage dust, keep services running. Full house refurbishments usually mean kitchen and bathrooms are out of action for weeks — many clients arrange short rentals or stay with family. We’ll be honest at the quote stage about what’s realistic.
Do you handle planning applications?
We work with trusted architects and planning consultants and can manage the entire process — Reigate and Banstead planning applications, Building Regs drawings, structural engineer calculations, party wall notices. Or we work alongside your own team if you’ve already engaged an architect.
