Working in Camberley
Our survey diary covers Camberley, including GU15, GU16. The same team covers Woking (8 miles), Farnham (9 miles), Guildford (10 miles), Egham (10 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.
Included in a typical project
- Glazed, sloping or flat roof with rooflights
- New boundary wall or raised party wall
- Kitchen-ready shell or full finish
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Design to keep daylight in the middle of the house
- Survey of the outrigger, boundary wall and drainage

Do I need planning permission in Camberley?
In England a single-storey side return infill is often permitted development if it stays within the height limits and is no wider than half the width of the original house. Conservation areas, listed buildings and flats always need an application, and the boundary wall usually brings in the Party Wall Act.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Camberley
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Camberley?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do you cover all of Camberley?
Yes. We cover Camberley and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Camberley be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Will the kitchen be darker?
Not if the roof is designed well. A glazed roof or a line of rooflights along the boundary usually makes the room brighter than before.
Can I combine a side return with a rear extension?
Yes. That combination is a wraparound extension, which adds the most space to a terraced house.
