Spelthorne is Surrey's northernmost borough, wrapped by bends of the Thames and sitting close to Heathrow Airport, which gives it a housing character that feels closer to outer London than the rest of the county. Staines-upon-Thames has seen substantial town centre redevelopment in recent years, and that continues into the surrounding residential streets with a steady flow of rear extensions and loft conversions on its mostly Victorian and inter-war housing. Sunbury and Shepperton, both directly on the river, have a mix of riverside properties and more typical suburban housing, generating everything from boathouses and garden rooms on waterside plots to standard family extensions further back from the river. Ashford, in the borough's centre, has a denser, more uniform housing stock and produces a high volume of smaller, straightforward extension and conversion projects. Shepperton Studios itself, one of the UK's longest-running film production sites, continues to see its own commercial redevelopment and expansion work, a separate but steady source of larger-scale construction activity alongside the borough's residential projects.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Spelthorne over the past 30 days.
In Spelthorne, Extensions are the most common project type, appearing in 46 of the 64 leads tracked in the last 30 days, with Loft Conversions also showing consistent demand alongside Porches. Projects can fall into more than one category, so these figures don't need to add up to the total.

In Spelthorne, the vast majority (86%) of planning applications are domestic projects such as extensions and loft conversions. Commercial developments make up a smaller portion but can offer higher-value opportunities for larger contractors.
Spelthorne's proximity to Heathrow and its fast road and rail links into London keep the borough attractive to commuters, which supports steady demand for family housing and, in turn, consistent extension and renovation activity. Staines-upon-Thames' ongoing regeneration continues to bring new-build and mixed-use development into the pipeline alongside the borough's usual flow of householder extension work. Sunbury and Shepperton's riverside properties tend to see higher-spec renovation and extension projects, reflecting larger plots and premium river frontage, while Ashford and the more standard suburban streets generate a higher volume of typical family-home projects - kitchen extensions, loft conversions, and garden buildings.
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.
Filter by estimated project value to focus your outreach on jobs that match the size and type of work your business takes on.
