Building and renovation in Sandhurst
Sandhurst is largely post-war and later housing: 1950s to 1980s estates, a good stock of detached and semi-detached homes with attached garages, and newer developments filling in around Little Sandhurst and Owlsmoor, with older village property near the centre.
That housing profile explains the work we do here. Attached garages that swallow half the ground floor footprint make excellent home offices, utility rooms or annexe space. Standard rear layouts take a single-storey extension well. And where the roof allows, a loft conversion adds a bedroom without touching the garden.
Sandhurst sits minutes from Camberley and a short drive from our Farnborough base, so travel does not eat into the working day and we can be on site quickly if a decision is needed.

Services in Sandhurst
Building services available in Sandhurst
Structure, groundworks, drainage and finish are all handled in-house, so a single team carries your project from the first excavation through to the final finish.
Extensions in Sandhurst
More usable ground-floor space in the home you already own, priced before we start, built by one experienced crew, and handed back with building control sign-off and an insurance-backed guarantee.
House Refurbishments in Sandhurst
One contractor for the strip-out, the structure, the services and the finish, priced in full before we start, sequenced so trades are not tripping over each other, and guaranteed when it is done.
Garden Rooms in Sandhurst
A properly built room at the end of the garden, insulated, powered, heated and usable in February, for a fraction of the disruption of extending the house.
Loft Conversions in Sandhurst
A bedroom, bathroom or office in space you already own and already heat, with the structure, stair and escape route designed to pass building control rather than to look finished.
Garage Conversions in Sandhurst
The walls and roof are already there, which makes a garage the fastest extra room in most houses, provided the floor, damp and insulation are done properly rather than boarded over.
Hard Landscaping in Sandhurst
Outdoor surfaces that stay flat, drain where they should and still look right in ten years, because the sub-base, falls and edge restraints are built correctly under the part you can see.
Groundworks in Sandhurst
The part of the build nobody sees and everything else depends on, excavated to the right depth for the ground you actually have, inspected before it is covered, and priced before we dig.
Drains in Sandhurst
Drainage that is set to the right fall, tested before it is covered and recorded on the completion paperwork, whether it is a diversion under a new extension or a failed run being replaced.
Structural Alterations in Sandhurst
Walls removed and openings formed the way an engineer designed them: temporary support first, load path carried all the way to the ground, and inspected before it disappears behind plaster.
RSJ Installation in Sandhurst
The beam is the easy part. Getting the calculation, the temporary support, the bearings and the load transfer right is what keeps the structure above it exactly where it was.
Property types
Property types across Sandhurst
1950s-70s estate housing
Shallow foundations, thinner cavity walls, attached or integral garages. Garage conversions and rear extensions are the bread and butter, with drainage diversions common.
1980s and later detached housing
Trussed roofs and block-and-beam floors. Loft conversions need structural work; garden rooms often suit better where the plot is tight.
Older village property near the centre
Solid walls and shallow original footings, requiring deeper new foundations and careful connection detailing.
Larger plots towards Little Sandhurst
Room for double-storey extensions, garden rooms and substantial landscaping, subject to ground and tree conditions.
Why choose Urban Build in Sandhurst
How we work in Sandhurst
A team you can name
A core team of around five experienced tradespeople, with trusted subcontractors only where a job needs them. The person who surveys your Sandhurst property is part of the team that builds it.
Fixed price before we start
The price is agreed before work begins. It changes only if you ask us to change the scope, not because something predictable was left out of the quote.
Itemised quote in 21 days
A full itemised quote, typically around ten pages for an extension, costs £500 and arrives within 21 days. That £500 is deducted from the final price if the job goes ahead.
Insured work
Public liability and contractors insurance are in place on every project we run.
Insurance-backed guarantee
Completed work is covered by an insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover does not depend on us still being around.
Staged payments
Payments are tied to progress on site. You are never funding a Sandhurst project months ahead of the work.
We do not publish job counts or years-in-business figures we cannot evidence. If you want to see work, ask and we will talk you through comparable projects: see our work.
Local conditions
Common building considerations in Sandhurst
These are the details a thorough survey settles before a price is agreed. We survey for all of them before we price.
Garage floors and walls not built to habitable standard
An attached garage typically has a thinner slab, no damp-proof membrane worth relying on, and single-skin or unfilled walls. A conversion that skips insulation, damp-proofing and floor build-up gives you a cold room you stop using.
Shallow post-war foundations
New extension foundations usually need to go deeper than the existing ones next to them. That is normal and needs pricing rather than discovering.
Trussed roofs sold as easy conversions
Boarding out a truss roof does not create a legal bedroom. Proper structural floor members, head height and access all have to work before it is worth doing.
Ageing estate drainage
Original runs with shallow falls and patch repairs sit under a lot of the areas people want to extend into. We check them before pouring anything.
