Builders in Kenley (CR8)
The large Edwardian and interwar houses across Kenley were built for space, and that space is exactly what owners want to make more of. Whether you're off Hayes Lane, up near the gliding club end of the Common, or in one of the leafy roads backing onto the Green Belt, the work tends to be substantial: a proper rear extension, a loft put to use, a tired 1930s house brought up to date without losing its character. We're SG Refurb, based at 27 High Street in Godstone, a short drive away, so Kenley is regular ground for us.
What we take on here
Kenley homes lend themselves to ambitious projects.
Single and double-storey extensions on the deeper plots, full home refurbishments of period properties, kitchen and dining knock-throughs, and roofing on the steep-pitched roofs common to the interwar stock. Parts of Kenley sit within the Kenley Aerodrome Conservation Area and close to Green Belt boundaries, so some jobs need planning handled carefully. We work to what the property and its setting allow, not against it.
One firm for a Kenley build, start to finish
We don't hand your job over and leave you to manage the trades yourself. Groundworkers, brickies, carpenters and plasterers are our own people, and for electrics, roofing and decorating we bring in trusted specialists we manage ourselves, so the same firm that starts your project sees it through. That keeps the site tidy, the programme honest and the lines of responsibility clear when something needs a decision. On a large Kenley house where works can run for weeks, that continuity is the difference between a smooth build and a string of excuses.
Pricing you can actually read
You get a quote that sets out the work in plain terms, with the stages and what's included spelled out. No vague allowances that balloon later, no surprise extras once the scaffold is up. If something genuinely changes on site, we talk to you before it costs you anything. That's how we'd want to be treated, so it's how we quote.
One firm accountable on your Kenley project
SG Refurb has been building across Surrey and the South East since 2005 — on the tools and managing sites.
The building work is carried out by our own team, with specialist trades like electrics, roofing and decorating brought in and managed by us, so a serious renovation stays with one firm from first survey to final sign-off. For homeowners in Kenley, that means a single point of responsibility for the whole result, not a job parcelled out between strangers.

Q.02Can you handle work in the Kenley conservation area?
Yes. Parts of Kenley fall within the Kenley Aerodrome Conservation Area and near Green Belt boundaries, so some projects need planning handled with care. We work to what the property and its setting allow and manage that side for you.
