Local Knowledge That Saves You Time and Money

Farnham is a historic market town with a varied housing stock, ranging from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces in the town centre to post-war semis and modern detached homes further out. We understand the planning policies that apply here, including the conservation area designations that cover much of the town centre and parts of the Bourne. We can advise you early on whether your project will require planning permission from Waverley Borough Council or whether it is likely to fall within Permitted Development rights.

This matters because the wrong assumption at the outset can cost weeks of delay or cause issues further down the line when you come to sell. Our experience in Farnham means we can give you a realistic picture before work starts.

Extensions in Farnham

Single-storey rear extensions are one of the most popular projects we undertake in Farnham. Many properties in areas like Hale and Upper Hale have the space to extend to the rear, and with the right design, you can create a generously proportioned kitchen-diner or family room without touching the front of the house.

Side extensions are common in the Bourne and Wrecclesham, where semi-detached properties often have a narrow side passage that can be put to much better use. We can advise on the implications for your particular property, including boundary considerations and the need for a party wall agreement where applicable.

For larger projects, double-storey extensions allow you to add a bedroom or bathroom above a ground-floor addition, giving you significantly more living space without the footprint of a new build. We have delivered a number of these across Farnham and can project manage the full planning and build process from start to finish.

Bedroom Extension

Loft Conversions in Farnham

Farnham has a high proportion of Edwardian and Victorian semi-detached and terraced properties with pitched roofs that are well suited to loft conversion. A dormer loft conversion typically adds a full bedroom with head height throughout and space for an en-suite, making it one of the best-value improvements you can make to a Farnham home.

In the town centre and conservation areas, we are mindful of the streetscape and will design dormers to face the rear where required. Hip-to-gable conversions are well suited to properties on corner plots or at the end of a terrace, and we have completed several of these in and around Farnham.

Renovations and Refurbishments

Whether you have recently purchased a property that needs updating from top to bottom, or you want to modernise a tired kitchen or bathroom, we offer a full renovation service. We manage all trades in-house where possible, including carpentry, plastering, tiling, and first fix and second fix electrics and plumbing through our network of trusted, local subcontractors.

Ben Evans holds a Gas Safe registration, which means boiler relocations, new central heating systems and gas appliances are all within scope. This is particularly useful for kitchen renovations where a boiler move or new underfloor heating might be part of the brief.

New Builds and Garage Conversions

We have project managed new build homes in and around Farnham for both private clients and small developers. If you have a plot with planning permission, we can provide a detailed tender and manage the entire build from groundworks to handover.

Garage conversions are another popular choice in Farnham, particularly on 1960s and 1970s properties where the integral or attached garage is rarely used for a car. Converting to a home office, playroom or additional bedroom is a straightforward project that does not usually require planning permission and can be completed quickly with minimal disruption.
