Detached New Build in Reigate

When we took over this build on Cockshot Road in Reigate, we were joining a development of just three homes. The brief was rooted in traditional Victorian styling but with modern conveniences and a premium finish throughout.

Our priority was getting the shell right. With red-brick walls, a clay-tiled roof, and hardwood triple-glazed sliding-sash windows, attention to detail was key. We installed tall ceilings, ornate architraves, and deep skirtings to match the Victorian aesthetic, then ensured everything was insulated and sealed to the latest building standards.

Inside, we installed underfloor heating across the entire ground floor, with each room individually thermostatted, and finished it off with porcelain wood-effect floor tiles that strike a balance between style and wear. We installed a luxury shaker-style kitchen with quartz surfaces and Fisher & Paykel appliances, precisely where the open-plan layout required it.

On the lower ground floor, we created a flexible space — suitable for a cinema room, gym, or bar and ensured that lighting, insulation, and sound levels were all considered. That winding stairwell, which leads back up to the garden, was carefully formed to meet the specifications and look sharp.

Outside, the south-facing garden, gated entrance, EV charger, and carport were included in the contract. We managed all drainage and electrical feeds, and ensured that the landscaping tied in nicely with the private driveway and homes next door.

We maintained a tight build schedule, met with the developer every week, and addressed the usual plot-specific challenges, including access, deliveries, and coordinating subcontractors. 

We've built a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home, spanning approximately 2,865 sq ft across four floors. It lives well, looks period-authentic, yet performs like a modern home. That’s precisely the kind of honest construction we’re about: precision, quality and no shortcuts.
