Builders in Camberley, Surrey

A significant portion of Camberley's residential properties are semi-detached and detached homes built in the postwar decades, particularly across areas like Heatherside, Old Dean and Mytchett. These properties typically have generous rear gardens and often have an integral garage at the side, both of which create real potential for extending the footprint of the home.

Hip-to-gable loft conversions are particularly suited to the semi-detached properties common in Camberley. The hipped end of the roof is rebuilt as a gable, effectively squaring off the roof line and dramatically increasing the usable floor area in the loft. Combined with a rear dormer, this type of conversion can create a full additional storey with one or two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Single-storey extensions to the rear are the most common project we complete in Camberley. Many homes on the postwar estates have a relatively compact kitchen that flows awkwardly into the garden, and extending by four to six metres can completely transform the ground floor. We regularly create large kitchen-dining rooms with bifold or sliding doors that open onto the garden, bringing in natural light and adding considerable value to the property.

Surrey Heath Borough Council planning policies are generally permissive for rear extensions that fall within Permitted Development limits, but any extension that exceeds the thresholds or sits in a designated area will require a planning application. We can advise on what applies to your specific property and location.
