Our Services
More space, more light and a home that finally fits the way you live.
Most families do not want to move. They like their street, their schools and their neighbours, they just need more room. A well-built home extension gives you that extra space without the upheaval of selling up and starting again. At Prince Builders we have been adding to homes around Woking and across Surrey since 1998, and a good share of that work still comes from people our old customers have told about us.
We take on the whole job, from the first chat in your kitchen through to the day we hand you the keys to a finished room. That means groundwork and foundations, brickwork, the roof, the windows and doors, plastering, the wiring and plumbing and the final decorating. You deal with one firm, not a string of separate trades you have to chase yourself.
Whether you are after a single room on the back of the house or a much bigger change to how the whole ground floor works, we will tell you honestly what is possible, what it is likely to cost and how long it will take. No pressure, no sales talk.
Every home extension starts with a proper look at your house and a clear conversation about what you actually want. We measure up, talk through your ideas and give you a written quote you can rely on. If you need drawings, we can point you towards an architect or work alongside one you already have.
Before any building starts there is the paperwork side to sort. Some extensions fall under permitted development and do not need a full planning application, while larger or front-facing work usually does need planning permission. We will tell you which side of that line your project sits on. Either way, the work has to meet building control standards, so a building inspector signs off the key stages as we go, from the foundations to the finished structure.
If your extension sits near or on the boundary with a neighbour, the party wall side may come into it too. We are used to this and will flag it early so there are no surprises. Throughout the build we keep the site tidy, keep you updated and make sure the new part of your home is properly tied into the old, with matching brick and a roof that looks like it was always meant to be there.
A single storey extension is the most popular choice, usually on the rear of the house to open up the kitchen and dining area, or a side return that fills in the dead space down the side of the property. A double storey extension gives you a room downstairs and a bedroom or bathroom above, which is far better value per square metre because you only dig and roof once. A wrap-around extension does both the rear and the side together and can completely transform a tired ground floor.
Kitchen extensions are a big part of what we do. Knocking the back of the house open and fitting bifold or sliding doors floods the room with light and gives you that bright, sociable kitchen-diner most people are after. If your plans also touch the upstairs or you want internal walls moved, that is straightforward structural work for us, and you can read more about our structural alterations if load-bearing walls are coming out. A loft is worth a thought too, since a loft conversion often adds a bedroom for less than building outwards.
An extension is a big job, so it matters who you let into your home. Here is what you get with us.
Most of our extension work is rear and side extensions on family homes around Woking, where we are based, with a good number of jobs over in Camberley and Cobham too. We build right across Surrey and into South West London from here. Extensions make up just as much of what we do in Camberley, Ascot, Cobham, Weybridge and Virginia Water, and the planning considerations shift noticeably from one borough to the next.
If you have run out of room and are not sure whether moving or extending makes more sense, we are happy to come and talk it through before you decide anything.
