Builders in Woking you can trust with the whole job
Tanner Construction is a family run building company based in Fairlands, just up the road from Woking, and we have spent years working on homes right across the town. Woking is the sort of place where people put down roots. The fast trains into Waterloo make it an easy base for families who work in London, and rather than uproot and move again, most of them choose to buy a home here and improve it over time. That is exactly the kind of work we do, taking a Woking house and making it fit the family living in it.
We handle the whole job in house with one team, from the groundwork right through to the decorating, so you are not left chasing five different trades or wondering who is turning up next. Everything we do is built to current building regulations, and we keep you in the loop from the first measure-up to the final clean. Whether you are in a period terrace near the centre or a modern home out on one of the bigger estates, you can talk to us directly and we will tell you honestly what is possible. If you would rather start with a quick chat, our phone number and contact page are at the bottom of this page.
Building services in Woking
Home extensions are easily our busiest job in Woking, and it is not hard to see why. Families move here for the schools and the commute, then quickly realise they need more room rather than another house move. We build single and double-storey rear extensions, side returns and wrap-arounds on everything from the Victorian and Edwardian homes near the town centre to the newer four-bed houses out towards Goldsworth Park. A well-planned extension gives you the bigger kitchen-diner or extra bedroom you need without losing the address you settled in for.
Loft conversions are the other obvious way to add space in Woking, especially on the older homes near the centre where the gardens are too precious to build over. The pitched roofs on many of the town's Victorian and Edwardian houses lend themselves well to a dormer or a hip-to-gable conversion, turning a cold storage loft into a proper bedroom, office or bathroom. We handle the structural work, the stairs, the insulation and the building control sign-off as one job. For a growing Woking family, that loft is often the cheapest extra bedroom in the house.
A kitchen refurbishment can change how a Woking home feels day to day, because the kitchen is where most families actually spend their evenings. We take on full kitchen refits, from stripping out the old units and reworking the plumbing and electrics to laying floors, tiling and fitting the new run. In a lot of the older homes around St John's and Old Woking, we knock through into a tired dining room or rear lean-to to open the whole space up. Because we do the building work and the finishing ourselves, the joins between old and new come out clean.
Garage conversions are a sensible win on the modern estates around Woking, where so many of the houses came with an integral or attached garage that ends up holding bikes and old paint tins. Out on estates like Goldsworth Park there is real value in turning that wasted space into a snug, a home office or a downstairs bedroom. We insulate the floor and walls properly, fit the new windows and doors, and bring the room up to a warm, usable standard. For a family that needs one more room but does not want to lose any garden, it is often the quickest answer.
Structural alterations are where having one experienced team really shows, and we do plenty of this work across Woking. Removing a wall to open up a kitchen and dining room, putting in steel beams, or forming a new opening all needs the calculations, the building control approval and the actual building to line up. The solid older homes near the centre and the lighter-built newer houses on the estates each need a different approach, and we plan for both. We make sure the house is properly supported at every stage, with no shortcuts on the parts you cannot see.
Property renovation suits the many Woking buyers who take on a dated house specifically to bring it up to scratch. We take on full and partial renovations, rewiring, replumbing, replastering, new heating, new bathrooms and full redecoration, often on the Victorian and Edwardian homes closer to the station. Because we run the whole project with one team, the trades follow each other in the right order and the work does not stall waiting on someone else. You end up with a home that feels brand new behind its original front door.
New home builds are the biggest thing we do, and we take them on for clients who have found a plot or are replacing an existing house in and around Woking. From the foundations and groundwork up to the roof, the services and the final decorating, the whole build sits with one team that you deal with from start to finish. Plots come up across the town, from infill sites near Horsell and Mayford to fuller self-builds on the edges of the estates, and we work to building regulations throughout. It is a long job, so it matters that you can pick up the phone and speak to the people actually doing it.
