Reigate and Banstead covers a wide mix of housing, from Reigate's Georgian and Victorian town centre and the sought-after roads around Reigate Heath, through to Redhill's more mixed Victorian and 20th-century stock and Banstead's leafy, larger-plot suburbs. Reigate tends to produce higher-spec extension and renovation work, reflecting its established, higher-value housing. Redhill, which has seen significant town centre regeneration in recent years, generates a broader spread of projects, from smaller terraced-house extensions near the centre to larger family homes further out toward Merstham and Salfords. Banstead and the villages around it - Kingswood, Tadworth, Woodmansterne - sit on the edge of the North Downs and have a strong stock of detached houses on generous plots, which supports steady demand for loft conversions, orangeries, and garden studios. Horley, in the borough's south near Gatwick Airport, has a younger housing stock overall, with newer estates generating more first-extension and garden-building work.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Reigate and Banstead over the past 30 days.

The borough's position on the M25 and M23, with fast rail links from Reigate and Redhill into London, keeps demand for family housing strong across a wide range of budgets. Reigate and the villages toward Kingswood and Tadworth see the highest-spec renovation work, reflecting larger plots and established household wealth, while Redhill and Horley produce a higher volume of more typical projects - kitchen extensions, loft conversions, and garden rooms - as families look to add space rather than move in a competitive local market. Ongoing regeneration in Redhill town centre continues to bring new-build and conversion activity alongside the steady flow of householder extension work across the rest of the borough.
Planning applications highlight upcoming work, giving you a chance to get in touch before builders are shortlisted.
Approved applications can be particularly valuable because the project has cleared a major planning hurdle and may be moving closer to construction.
