Good news for anyone planning an extension in Farn Good news for anyone planning an extension in Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas: from 31 October, routine householder applications like extensions and loft conversions are decided by planning officers under the new National Scheme of Delegation, not by committee.

That takes committee waiting time out of the picture, and it means your application now rises or falls on the drawings and the planning considerations, not on who speaks at a committee. Public comments still count during consultation, and relevant planning matters still decide the outcome, but the paperwork has to be right first time.

We build extensions across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas, and we know what a well-prepared application looks like from the builder's side: drawings that match what will actually be built, materials that fit the street, and details that don't raise avoidable objections.

Planning your build for spring? Getting the design and application right now puts you first in the queue when the ground warms up.

Buyers decide what they think of a house within ab Buyers decide what they think of a house within about 28 seconds of arriving, and 88% say the outside of the property is a critical part of that call.

November is exactly when that first impression gets tested. Short days, rain on every surface, and everything tired showing.

The quick wins that matter most before any viewings or a winter sale:

Fascias, soffits and bargeboards. Peeling paint or green streaking on the roofline reads as neglect before anyone reaches the front door. A clean and repaint changes the whole frontage.

Gutters cleared and aligned. Overflowing guttering on a viewing day is one of the biggest silent deal-breakers there is.

Fences, gates and paths sorted. A gate that sticks or a wobbly panel suggests the inside is the same story.

It is not about selling, either. Most of this is cheap protection for the building itself through the wettest months of the year.

We handle external repairs, roofline work and general property maintenance across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas.

Wet rooms and walk-in showers are the feature more Wet rooms and walk-in showers are the feature more UK homeowners ask for than anything else in a bathroom renovation right now. Walk-in showers top the dream bathroom list, and interest in full wet rooms has climbed 19% over the year.

Done well, they are fantastic. Done badly, they are the one job you cannot hide later, because it is all tile and glass and no door to shut the problem behind.

What makes the difference on a level-access shower:

Tanking first, tiles second. A fully waterproofed membrane behind every tile, with corners and joins sealed properly, not just a splash of sealer.

Dead-level falls. The floor needs a precise gradient towards the drain, built into the screed, so water goes where it should without a second thought.

Weight and movement. Correctly backed and reinforced walls, so large-format tiles stay where you put them.

We fit wet rooms and walk-in showers across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas, and we are happy to walk you through what is involved before any tile is opened.

Garden saunas have quietly become one of the UK's Garden saunas have quietly become one of the UK's most popular outdoor builds this year, with typical installations running between £4,500 and £10,400.

But the part that decides whether a sauna lasts ten winters or two is the bit you never see: the base.

Here is what matters when we build one:

A level, free-draining foundation. A concrete slab finished slightly above the surrounding ground, with a gentle fall of about 1 in 80 to shed rainwater away from the timber.

The right spot. Siting rules matter: within 2 metres of a boundary, the structure must stay under 2.5 metres tall to stay within permitted development.

Cleared, safe routes. A firm path from the house, and any electrical work carried out and certified properly by a registered electrician, since it is notifiable under building regulations.

Get the base wrong and the timber frame racks out of true within a couple of seasons. Get it right and the building sits dead level for decades.

We build garden room and sauna bases across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas, from groundwork to finishing trim.

Storm Austen and Storm Boelo left plenty of eviden Storm Austen and Storm Boelo left plenty of evidence behind when they swept through at the end of October: fence panels down, gutters sagging under a load of wet leaves, and the odd loose tile nobody noticed until the next shower.

The Met Office has now named both storms and the clean-up is still going on across the South East. Two things worth doing while the weather is settled again:

1. Walk the boundary. Check fence posts and panels for movement, and look at where the wind found gaps.
2. Clear gutters and downpipes. Wet autumn leaves are heavy, and a blocked downpipe pushes water straight at brickwork and foundations.

We are out and about in Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas this month sorting storm damage properly, from re-setting fence posts to replacing damaged fascia and guttering runs.

If something took a hit in the recent winds, we are happy to take a look and give you an honest answer on repair versus replace.

Autumn garden jobs before the weather turns: the u Autumn garden jobs before the weather turns: the unglamorous list.

Cut back anything overhanging paths or the house before winter winds test it. Clear leaves from lawns and borders so the grass doesn't sit sodden into spring. Check fences, gates and shed roofs now, while a repair is a dry-week job rather than a storm-week scramble.

Property experts keep saying the same thing this autumn: outdoor spaces are high on Surrey buyers' lists, and a garden that's clearly looked after is part of that. Even if you're not selling, it's cheaper to keep on top of it than to catch up in March.

We cover this kind of work across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas, from garden maintenance to fencing and landscaping. If the list above looks longer than a free weekend, it usually does, that's what we're here for.

Some jobs look fine on the surface and tell a diff Some jobs look fine on the surface and tell a different story once you're into them.

We've lost count of the fence panels held up with a bodge and a hopeful screw, or decking boards fixed down over rotting joists. A five-minute fix that buys a season, then fails in the first proper storm.

The honest version is usually simple: a post set properly in the ground, sound timber, fixings that suit the job. It costs more than the quick fix on day one and less every day after.

We've been sorting a few of these across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas this autumn, and the pattern is the same every time. Not a criticism of anyone who's had a go, just a nudge that some jobs are worth doing once, properly.

The first thing that goes in on a kitchen fit? Not The first thing that goes in on a kitchen fit? Not the units. The level.

Checking the floor before the base units land saves hours later. A floor that looks flat rarely is, and if the first cabinet sits proud, every door down the line shows it.

From there the order mostly writes itself: base units set and scribed to the walls, worktops templated and cut, wall units up, then the finishing touches that decide whether the kitchen looks fitted or dropped in. Handles lined up, gaps even, end panels dead plumb.

Most of the kitchens we fit across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas are straightforward rooms with one or two quirks, an out-of-true wall or an old pipe boxing to work around. That's normal, and it's why the set-out matters more than the speed.

The result should look simple. Getting there isn't, but that's the job.

Tiling an accent wall is the kind of detail that t Tiling an accent wall is the kind of detail that turns a new bathroom into one with character.

The Houzz UK Bathroom Trends Study for 2026 found 36% of homeowners renovating a bathroom now add an accent wall, most often in the shower area. Green and blue lead the way while the main walls stay neutral, which keeps the room feeling calm but finished.

We've been getting that exact request from customers across Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas. It changes the install slightly: the wall gets prepped and waterproofed properly before a single tile goes on, and the tiling has to be dead level or the colour change will show every dip.

Green looks great with brass fittings and warm wood tones. Blue works well with white sanitaryware and chrome. Either way, it's the one wall that does the talking.

If a bolder bathroom is on your list for next year, autumn is a good time to plan it.

Autumn is a sensible time to take a look at tired Autumn is a sensible time to take a look at tired cladding or loose garden fencing before winter weather arrives. 🍂

Good results come down to the details: choosing suitable materials, getting the alignment and fixings right, and leaving edges neat and the work area tidy. It’s practical preparation for the colder, wetter months, not a guarantee against storm damage, but a chance to deal with wear before it gets worse.

We carry out exterior cladding and fencing work across Aldershot and the Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas. Get in touch to discuss your project.

Ofgem’s energy price cap rose by 4% from 1 October Ofgem’s energy price cap rose by 4% from 1 October. A practical place to start is the fabric of your home: insulation and draught-proofing help reduce heat loss, though the results will vary from property to property.

Surrey residents can check whether they may qualify for support through the Warm Homes Local Grant, which can fund eligible insulation upgrades. Eligibility and measures depend on the scheme criteria and a property assessment. Surrey County Council’s Home Energy Improvement One-Stop Shop can also help residents explore advice and funding options.

Looking ahead to a more accessible bathroom doesn’ Looking ahead to a more accessible bathroom doesn’t have to mean a complete rethink. Walk-in showers are a standout bathroom trend in 2026, and thoughtful design choices can help make a space more practical for years to come.

The finish depends on the details: planning a low-threshold entrance, building a sound enclosure, keeping tile lines true and completing each edge neatly. Good craftsmanship makes the shower feel like it belongs in the room, not like an afterthought.

We install bathrooms in Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas. If you’re considering a more accessible layout, get in touch and we can arrange a visit to talk through the options.

Thinking about building work for next spring? Autu Thinking about building work for next spring? Autumn is a good time to get the planning started. A proper survey and quotation now gives groundwork, extensions, patios and garden structures time to be planned over winter, ready to begin when the season turns.

Indoor structural work can also carry on through the colder months: knock-throughs, new openings, load-bearing alterations and internal reconfiguration. Older properties don’t always give up their secrets straight away. Hidden lintels, previous alterations, unstable supports or awkward existing construction can all come to light. That’s part of the job: assess what’s there, make it safe and find a sound solution rather than cover up a problem.

Before the frost arrives, it’s worth taking a look Before the frost arrives, it’s worth taking a look at cracked render, spalled brickwork and failed pointing. Water can get into open cracks and joints; when it freezes and expands, a small defect can become a hollow patch of render or a loose brick.

A proper repair means raking out failed pointing and replacing it with a suitable mortar to match the wall, cutting back and patching blown or hollow render, and replacing bricks that are too badly spalled to keep. We also check around window and door reveals, where cracks often start.

Render and mortar need suitable temperatures and conditions to cure, so it’s better to plan this work now than leave it until the depths of winter.

Real work is often the best advert. This week in A Real work is often the best advert. This week in Aldershot, the shed doors were rotten and split, and the timber framing around them had gone soft. They were past saving, so we replaced the frame and fitted a solid new ledged-and-braced door with heavy-duty black T-hinges and a hasp lock.

We also added new tongue-and-groove cladding to the front and fascia trim along the top to help throw rainwater clear. A practical repair that gives the shed a new lease of life before winter.

Before the winter gales arrive, take a proper look Before the winter gales arrive, take a proper look at your fence. Rot at the base of a post, loose panels, failing fixings or a fence that’s starting to lean can all leave it vulnerable when strong winds hit.

A lasting repair means finding the cause, not just patching what’s visible. We check the post bases and replace rotten posts, setting new ones securely below ground. We’ll also secure or replace damaged panels and rails, and use fixings built to last. Water sitting around the base can speed up rot, as can ground that’s been raised against the fence.

If your fencing needs attention, get in touch to arrange a visit. We work in Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas.

Autumn is a sensible time to check your roofline b Autumn is a sensible time to check your roofline before the wet and windy months arrive. A slipped or cracked tile, failing ridge mortar or flashing, damaged fascia, or loose guttering can let water into the building fabric.

You can look from the ground (binoculars are useful) but please don’t climb onto the roof. When we visit, we check the tiles and ridge, flashing and joints, fascia and soffit, gutters and downpipes, and look for signs of water tracking inside.

Small repairs now can help avoid larger structural repairs later. If you’d like your roofline checked, get in touch and we’ll arrange a visit in Farnham, Farnborough, Guildford and surrounding areas.

Autumn is the right window to get a garden room or Autumn is the right window to get a garden room or outbuilding properly ready for winter.

It’s not just a case of dropping a kit onto soil and hoping for the best. The base needs to be sound, the falls and drainage need to be right, and the structure must be made weathertight before the wet months set in.

That means getting the roof, membrane, cladding and insulation right as part of the build. Miss those details and damp, cold spots and condensation can soon follow. Get them right and you have a more durable, comfortable space that is ready to use when the weather turns.

We carry out the groundwork and construction properly, from the base upwards, with practical attention to how the building will perform in real conditions.

Moss and algae might look harmless, but on patios, Moss and algae might look harmless, but on patios, paths and driveways they become slippery through winter and hold moisture against the surface. Over time, that moisture can contribute to tired-looking paving and break down the joints.

The proper fix is more than a quick rinse. The surface needs cleaning back thoroughly, with the joints checked and cleared. It’s also worth looking at the falls and drainage, if water is left sitting on the paving, the problem will return.

Once everything is properly dry, joints can be re-sanded and the surface sealed where suitable. Sealing should only be done while the paving is dry and temperatures are staying above roughly 5°C.
