Builders and renovators in Surrey.
Across Surrey we take on larger houses, extensions and new builds, where Green Belt policy shapes what can be built. CAP designs and builds extensions, lofts, basements and full refurbishments across Surrey, with one team from planning through to aftercare.
What a project in Surrey usually involves.
Much of Surrey is Green Belt, where extensions and replacement houses are judged on how much larger they are than the original building.
The properties we are asked about in Surrey are mostly larger detached houses, replacement houses and substantial extensions. Around the Surrey Hills, Esher, Cobham and Weybridge, the character of the setting shapes what can be built, and we design to suit it.
Planning applications in Surrey are decided by the borough and district councils, including Elmbridge, Guildford, Mole Valley and Reigate and Banstead. Whatever the project, we check which consents your property needs before recommending any spend on drawings.

Building in Surrey.
Do you work in Surrey?
Yes. Across Surrey we take on larger houses, extensions and new builds, where Green Belt policy shapes what can be built. The middle of the county is roughly 15 miles from our base on Mitcham Lane in Streatham, and the work we take on there is mostly larger detached houses, replacement houses and substantial extensions.
Do I need planning permission to extend or alter a property in Surrey?
It depends on the plot. In the Green Belt parts of Surrey, an extension must not be disproportionate to the original house and a replacement house must not be materially larger than the one it replaces, so the size of the existing building matters. Permitted development can still apply to houses outside designated areas. We check the planning history before designing.
Which council decides planning applications in Surrey?
The borough and district councils, including Elmbridge, Guildford, Mole Valley and Reigate and Banstead. Building regulations approval can come from the council's building control team or from a registered building control approver, and we arrange whichever suits the project.
What kind of properties do you work on in Surrey?
Mostly larger detached houses, replacement houses and substantial extensions. Around the Surrey Hills, Esher, Cobham and Weybridge, the character of the setting shapes what can be built, so we look at the property and its surroundings before proposing a design.
