Extensions and Full Renovations
SG Refurb designs and builds house extensions across Surrey — rear, side-return, wraparound, single- and double-storey — with one firm answerable from first survey to final handover. We add the space you need without the surprises, and the price before we start.
SG Refurb has been building and refurbishing homes since 2005, and works from 27 High Street, Godstone. One firm runs it, and there's no guesswork on price. Get an estimate.
Every type of extension, handled end to end
Whatever shape your project takes, we cover it:
Every job is run by SG — our own roofers, carpenters and plasterers on the building work, with approved subcontractors, brought in and managed by us for trades like electrics and plumbing. One firm coordinates every trade and stays answerable for the lot, so the responsibility never gets handed on to someone you have never met.
- Single storey extensions — kitchen-diners, rear and side-return builds that open up the back of the house
- Two storey extensions — extra bedrooms, bathrooms and living space without moving home
- Rear and wraparound extensions — joining the side return and rear to reclaim awkward, unused ground
- Kitchen extensions — knock-through and glazed builds that bring in light and connect the house to the garden
How your extension comes together
A clear process, start to finish:
Survey
we visit, measure up and talk through what you actually need.
A price for the job
a price once we have seen it. No vague "competitive rates", no moving numbers.
One firm on the build
your project run by SG's own team, with specialists brought in and managed by us, and one point of contact throughout.
Handover
finished, signed off and tidied up, with the certificates that matter.
Aftercare
if anything needs adjusting after handover, SG comes back and sorts it. You deal with one firm, not a trade you have to track down.
This is the part most builders leave fuzzy. We put the price up front so you know where you stand before a single brick is laid.
Accountable, start to finish
SG runs your extension from first survey to final handover — our own roofers, carpenters and plasterers on the building work, with approved subcontractors, brought in and managed by us for trades like electrics and plumbing. The people who quote your job are SG's own, so nobody hands the work, or the responsibility, on to a firm you have never dealt with.
A genuinely local Godstone builder working a fixed patch across Surrey, within about ten miles of our Godstone office, building homes since 2005. We do not sprawl into jobs we cannot stand behind.
Local work, locally proven
We build for homeowners across Godstone, Caterham, Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate and the wider Surrey area.
Working a fixed local patch since 2005 means a lot of our work comes through recommendations from clients we have already built for. Ask and we will point you to recent extensions near you.

Common questions
Q.01How much does a house extension cost in Surrey?
Extension costs in Surrey vary with size, type (single or two storey), specification and groundworks. We do not quote a one-size figure — after a survey you get a fixed, quote so you know the full price before work starts, with no surprises.
Q.02Do you handle the whole extension yourselves or use subcontractors?
SG's own team handles the building work — roofing, carpentry and joinery, plastering and the fitting of kitchens and bathrooms — and we bring in approved subcontractors we have worked with for years for trades like electrics and plumbing, all managed by us. One accountable firm runs your project from survey to handover, so there is only ever one company to hold to the result.
Q.03What areas do you build extensions in?
We build house extensions across Surrey, within about ten miles of our Godstone office from our base in Godstone (RH9), covering Caterham, Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate and the surrounding area.
Q.04How long have you been building extensions?
SG Refurb has been building and refurbishing homes since 2005, working from one base in the same corner of Surrey in Godstone. Your extension is handled by SG from first survey to final handover — our own team on the building work, specialists brought in and managed by us — so one firm stays answerable for the whole result.
Q.05Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Surrey?
Many single-storey extensions fall under Permitted Development and need no planning application, but larger, two-storey and wraparound builds often do. Building Regulations apply either way. We tell you exactly what your extension needs at the survey and handle the building control sign-off, so nothing lands as a surprise later.
Q.06Are there extension builders near me?
If you're in Godstone (RH9) or the surrounding Surrey, within about ten miles of our Godstone office area, yes — we're a genuinely local extension team based at 27 High Street, Godstone, not a firm travelling in. We build across Caterham, Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate and the wider area.
Q.07Are you insured?
Yes. SG carry £5 million public liability cover and £5 million employers' liability cover, and we can provide the certificates before work starts if you would like to see them. It is a fair question to ask any builder and you should not have to chase the answer.
Q.08Can we stay in the house while the work is done?
Usually, yes. Most extensions are built onto the house rather than through it, so people stay put for the bulk of the work. If there is a stage that makes that awkward we tell you at quote stage so you can plan round it, rather than you finding out on the day.
Q.09Do you handle the drawings as well as the building?
We can. Plenty of people come to us with drawings already done and just want them priced. Others start with nothing more than an idea, and we take it from the first sketch through the approvals to the finished job. Either way it is one firm throughout.
Q.10Do you take on smaller jobs too?
Yes. Not everything is an extension — plenty of what we do is one room reworked, a new opening formed, or repairs and maintenance when something needs sorting out. We are happy to quote for any of it.
Q.11How do I get a price for my East Grinstead project?
Ring the office on 01883 337 700 or send us a message. We come out, talk through what you want, and give you a written no obligation estimate with the work set out item by item.
