Building in Epsom
Renovating a house in Epsom can mean updating an older house on Burgh Heath, College or Worple Road, reworking a 1920s or 1930s estate house, or reconfiguring one of the homes built on the Horton hospital sites in the early 2000s. A whole-house renovation usually runs for 4 to 6 months, depending on how much structural work, rewiring and replumbing is involved.
Here the planning questions are often about the outside of the house. In conservation areas with heritage Article 4 directions, including Burgh Heath Road, College Road, Worple Road, Church Street and Stamford Green, replacing windows and doors, re-roofing, repainting or adding a porch on a street-facing side can need permission, and some directions also cover rear extensions and outbuildings. Much of a renovation is internal work that needs building regulations approval rather than planning, for example when walls come out or a staircase moves. Where new structural loads bear on London Clay, the foundations are designed for that ground. The route for your house is confirmed before design, so the programme allows for any application.
What we build
Whole-house refurbishments taken back to the studs where needed: plastering, flooring, joinery and decoration throughout.
Knocking through and reconfiguring rooms to open up kitchen-living-dining space and make the layout work for how you live.
Load-bearing wall removal, steel beams and new openings, all designed by a structural engineer and signed off by building control.
Sympathetic restoration of cornicing, fireplaces, ceiling roses and sash windows, modernising the rest to current standards.
Full first- and second-fix electrics and plumbing by certified trades: new circuits, heating systems and services, fully compliant.
Excavation, foundations, underpinning, drainage and surface water management to support major structural and extension work.

Navigating the incredibly strict materials and aesthetic demands of a Grade II listed building consent while attempting to integrate modern, frameless glass architecture.
Our dedicated architectural consultants worked hand-in-hand with the local conservation officers. By specifying ultra-low iron glass and employing zero-visibility structural channels, we satisfied the modern functional brief while adhering to the historic preservation mandate.

Straight answers on home renovations in Epsom.
You may, if the house is covered by a heritage Article 4 direction. The directions in conservation areas such as Burgh Heath Road, College Road, Worple Road and Church Street remove the right to replace windows and doors without permission, mostly on parts of the house facing a street, footpath or open space. Each house is checked against its direction before work is specified.

“Grand Innovations Surrey were exceptional from start to finish. We had full ground-floor remodel and a rear extension built, and the communication throughout was brilliant. Conor and the team kept us updated every week and made the whole process feel organised and stress-free. The workmanship is excellent, the finish is beautiful, and the attention to detail really shows. We'd happily use them again and recommend them to anyone planning an extension.”
