Property styles in Reigate
Reigate has a strong stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian houses, along with mock-Tudor interwar properties, many of which suit generously proportioned rear and wraparound extensions or double-storey additions.
Planning considerations
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre is a conservation area, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), which brings additional design and landscape considerations for extensions and new structures.

FAQs
Renovations in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide renovations across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
Can you renovate a property in phases while we live in it?
Often yes, particularly where the property can be divided into workable zones. We discuss phasing options and the level of disruption at the planning stage so you can make an informed decision.
What happens if you find problems once walls are opened up?
We flag any concealed issues, such as damp or structural decay, as soon as they are found, explain the implications, and agree a priced way forward with you before proceeding — this is why provisional sums are built into most renovation quotations.
Does the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
