Residential building work in Steyning
When an older house needs both repairs and more usable space, record the fabric you want to retain before choosing the new layout. Junctions between an extension and the original house can require careful decisions about levels, openings and roof connections.
Our residential focus is substantial work to existing homes: domestic refurbishments, extensions, loft and basement conversions, period-property renovation and larger repair packages. Choose the service that matches your project.
Commercial refurbishment & construction
A shop or small hospitality premises may need phased internal improvements alongside external repairs. Identify which entrance, storage area and facilities must remain available, and whether a temporary closure is possible for the most disruptive work.
Commercial construction servicesPreparing your Steyning enquiry
Bring photographs of original details, any earlier survey and the proposed specification. If access is via a narrow lane or shared passage, include its dimensions and the permissions already discussed with neighbours.
Include a budget range and tell us whether the building will remain occupied. If drawings or permissions are still being developed, say which decisions are outstanding. This helps us establish the next step without treating an early idea as a finished specification.
Send your project briefLocal checks before you build
Check Horsham District guidance for the address and confirm whether the South Downs National Park is the planning authority for your site. The project team should establish the correct approval route at the outset.
Check the exact property with your designer or local planning authority. Planning, building regulations and other consents are project-specific.

Our project records document work at the Royal Albion Hotel and a&o Hostel in Brighton, including investigation, heritage coordination and phased refurbishment. They show how we approach existing buildings; the scope and method for your property will be agreed separately.
