Builders in Caterham (CR3)
SG Refurb covers Caterham from our base at 27 High Street in Godstone, a few miles down the road. We know the town as well as anyone — we were based in Caterham for years before the move, and we still work here week in, week out. Caterham falls into two halves: the older settlement up on the plateau on the hill and the valley town below, which grew up around the railway station and the shops along Croydon Road. The building stock reflects that history — solid Victorian and Edwardian houses, interwar semis and post-war homes climbing the valley sides — and each part of town asks something different of a builder.
What we build for Caterham homes
The older hillside streets and the valley below are full of the kind of property we spend most of our weeks on.
We handle:
- Home refurbishments — full and partial renovations of Victorian, Edwardian and post-war houses, keeping the character while putting right the wiring, plumbing and plaster behind it
- Extensions — rear, side-return and double-storey extensions that make the most of Caterham's sloping plots
- Kitchens — new kitchens and open-plan knock-throughs, often tied into a rear extension
- Roofing — re-roofs, repairs and roofline work on the pitched and older roofs common across CR3
Caterham's hillside plots bring their own quirks — changes of level, older solid-wall construction and tight access on some valley streets — and we plan for those properly rather than discover them halfway through.
One firm on your Caterham job, start to finish
Our own team does the building work — brickwork, carpentry, plastering and groundworks — and for electrics, roofing, decorating and fencing we bring in trusted specialists, all managed by us. That means one firm stays answerable for your Caterham job from the first survey to the final clean, with one point of contact throughout rather than a number for every trade. Our pricing is set out plainly before work starts, so you know what you are paying for and why.
Why Caterham homeowners choose SG Refurb
We have been building and renovating across Surrey and the South East since 2005 — homes for private owners alongside pub, bar and hospitality fit-out for national operators — and Caterham is a town we know inside out. That local knowledge, paired with one firm answerable for the whole job, is what sets us apart. The building work is handled by our own team, with electrics, roofing and decorating brought in and managed by us, so responsibility for the result sits in a single place rather than a chain of separate trades.

Q.02What kind of building work do you do in Caterham?
Extensions, full and partial home refurbishments, kitchens and roofing, along with the general building that Caterham's Victorian, Edwardian and post-war homes tend to need. The building work is handled by our own team, with specialists like electricians and roofers brought in and managed by us.
