We run every job through our own portal, from the first enquiry to the day we hand it back.
Tell us how it went. It takes two minutes, and it helps the next person decide.
How we keep every site safe and compliant, from the cover we carry to the certificates you get at handover.
We carry £10 million public liability, £10 million employers’ liability and £10 million professional indemnity cover. Certificates are available on request before work starts.
We manage every trade on the job, with one of our surveyors running it from start to finish. There is one person answerable for how the site is run, not a chain of subcontractors.
Pubs, shops, offices, schools and surgeries keep running while we work. The work is phased around the people using the building, and done out of hours where the building stays in use.
Work that affects fire safety, such as fire doors, compartment walls and escape routes, falls under Part B of the Building Regulations. Where a job needs building control approval, it is signed off before handover and the certificate comes with it.
The certificate for any gas work comes from the registered engineer who carried it out. At handover you get the certificates that go with the work.
Old buildings are surveyed before anything changes. In a listed building, most changes that affect its character need listed building consent before work starts.
The same order of work on every job, commercial or domestic: we survey it, we price it in writing, we build it, and we hand it over.
Every job runs through our own portal. See our job portal →
We come out and look at the job properly. We measure up, check the things that matter on older Godstone stock — solid walls, original timbers, roof condition, where services run — and talk through what you want from the finished result.
You then get the price in writing, itemised so you can see what each part of the work costs and why it is there. Nothing is hidden inside a single round number, and you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
We manage every trade on the job, so you deal with us rather than chasing a different firm for every part of the work. The order of work is planned in one place: the plasterer knows when first fix is done, and the decorator is booked for when the plaster is dry.
You deal with one person for the whole job. You are not chasing three different trades for answers or wondering who is turning up when. Your contact knows the project inside out, keeps you posted on progress, and is the person to ring if something needs sorting. One number, one conversation, start to finish.
At the end we walk the finished work with you, deal with any snags, and hand over the relevant certification where it applies. On a commercial job that includes the paperwork the operator needs in place before the doors open again.
Pubs and bars are the work we do most of — trading refurbishments, bar builds, back of house and full interiors, handed back ready to trade on the date agreed. We also work in offices, retail, healthcare, education and housing associations, and take on framework work, heritage buildings, out-of-hours works, planned and reactive maintenance, and refurbishment and fit-out. Commercial work is priced as a written schedule, item by item, so a property team can check it against their own numbers.
On homes we take on kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, renovations, roofing, design and build, heritage, general maintenance, garden rooms, landscaping, loft conversions and garage conversions. Every job is surveyed before it is priced, and the quote is itemised so you can see what each part costs. The trades we cover are bathrooms, brickwork, carpentry and joinery, painting and decorating, groundworks, heating, kitchens, plastering, plumbing, roofing, scaffolding and tiling, and we manage every trade on the job.
We do both. A straightforward job is a replacement or a repair to a standard specification, done properly. A high specification job is bespoke design, premium materials and a full design and build. Same firm, same paperwork, either way.
We hold a full set of insurance across several policies, with over £20 million of cover between them. That includes £10 million public liability cover, for injury to anyone or damage to property while we work; £10 million employers’ liability cover, for the people who work for us; and £10 million professional indemnity cover, for the advice, design and specification we provide. Certificates for each policy are available on request before work starts.
We take reactive and emergency work as well as planned work, on commercial and domestic jobs. Reactive commercial cover runs all year round, bank holidays included. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
Work on homes is within about ten miles of the Godstone office. Commercial work covers the whole of the South East, from Southampton and Portsmouth round to Brighton and Dover, and past London as far as Oxford and Colchester.
SG Refurbishments Limited has traded under one name since 2005 and works from Godstone High Street.
Registered at Companies House (05629554) and trading ever since.
What the firm has been doing, written down when it happens. No press releases — job notes, dated.
SG Refurbishments now holds SSIP through CHAS Elite — the health-and-safety pre-qualification property teams and main contractors ask about first.
SG Refurbishments has moved from Caterham to 27 High Street, Godstone. The team is the same; the office is simply closer to most of the homes we work on.
SG's SSIP registration is under way, and the firm is taking on new work — commercial operators and property teams, and homeowners near Godstone.
The housing round here mostly falls into a few sorts, and each throws up something different once you open it: period cottages with frames that have moved, Victorian and Edwardian solid walls, post-war stock where the work is about layout, and listed buildings that need listed building consent before anything changes.
Commercial work across the South East, from reactive maintenance to full fit-outs, with pubs and bars the work we do most. On homes: extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, renovations, loft and garage conversions, garden rooms, landscaping, heritage, and design and build.
Yes. We survey the job free of charge, then give you an itemised price in writing, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start. There is no obligation.
We run every job through our own portal, from the survey and the price to the trades on site and the handover, so it is managed properly and effectively from start to finish.
Every job starts as a request in the portal, and enquiries sent through this website go straight in. From then on the job keeps one record, all the way to the handover.
The survey goes into the portal and the price is built from it, line by line. Everything noted on the survey carries through, so nothing is missed between the two, and the quote you get is itemised and in writing.
On site, each step is signed off in turn. The portal will not let a job move on until every step is done, from the photos before, during and after the work to sign-off by the client and by our manager.
Building since 2005 with a settled team — the same faces on site, week in, week out.
We are not always hiring, and we will not pretend otherwise. Register your trade and you hear about a role before it is advertised.
Three things, and the reason behind each one.
We run a settled team rather than a new crew every job. You will know who is on site with you on Monday, and they will know you.
The scope is written, the materials are ordered and the sequence is set before anyone turns up — so you are doing your trade, not waiting in a car park.
Domestic work stays within about ten miles of the Godstone office; commercial runs across the South East.
Our trade vacancies are advertised and handled by YourRecruit, the Caterham agency we recruit through. Their board carries what is open right now, with the pay and the terms on each role.
Nothing on there that suits? That is what the form below is for — it is the only way to hear about a role before it is advertised.
Five short steps. We keep it on file with your trade, your patch and what you are after, and pass it to YourRecruit so you are matched to a role rather than hunting for one.
Would rather talk? Ring the office on 01883 337 700.
Tell us what you are planning and we will come out, take a proper look and put a clear quote in front of you. No obligation, no pressure.
