From Top to Bottom - Design to Build

Gary Newell • 5 April 2023

At Jigsaw Construction Surrey Ltd, we pride ourselves on providing the whole package from top to bottom – so roof repairs to loft conversions down to kitchen and utility rooms and finished off with patios and driveways. We provide quality construction works in Hampshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.

 

Roof Repairs/Replacements

We know that a roof replacement or repair can be a big consideration, and we know how important it is if something goes wrong with your roof. Our team has the knowledge and experience to get the job done on time, to budget, and to your satisfaction.

 

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions are a fantastic way to add space to your home without eating into your outside space. Converting your existing loft space into an extra bedroom, a master suite or an office will certainly add value to your property as well as giving you more room to live in.


Your first port of call when investigating a loft conversion project would be to engage with a local design and build contractor such as us. We discuss your options, advise on the various approvals required and how best to manage the process. If we are appointed to manage your project, we will also take care of all the project management for you, removing all of the stress and worry around planning and building regulations from you.


Although loft conversions are usually allowed under permitted development, we would always recommend obtaining advice from your local planning department before starting work. All loft conversions will require sign off by building regulations.

                                                                                         

Bedroom Remodelling

Adding an extension is often expensive or impractical. Instead, it may be easier and more affordable to remove a wall or add a door.


Adding a door helps if there’s a bathroom next to the bedroom. It creates a primary bedroom suite without removing guest access to the bathroom. Or, if you have the room, you could section off part of the bedroom to use as a private ensuite. See our blog Adding an Ensuite to a Bedroom.


Perhaps you lack space but are lucky enough to have high ceilings, you could add a bedroom on its own mezzanine floor.  For this you will need a structural engineer to assess whether the supporting walls of your house will need extra support to carry the extra weight of the mezzanine. This will be vital information when it comes to building regulations. At Jigsaw Construction Surrey Ltd, our team includes a structural engineer, so we manage your project from start to finish. 

 

Kitchen Extensions 

A kitchen extension is one of the best ways to transform a kitchen from a cramped and awkward space to somewhere that the whole family can use. Modern kitchens aren't confined just to cooking — they're spaces for living, dining, socialising, doing homework, playing and more.


Think about what kind of kitchen extension you would like.


Side Kitchen Room Extension:  Some houses have spare space to the side of the property. Even a narrow side extension can help increase the width of your house to give you that much-needed extra space. By planning the new kitchen well, this option can transform even the smallest of living spaces into something spectacular.


Rear Kitchen Room Extension: If you have limited space to the side of your house then extending towards the rear is also a great option. In most cases, you can extend the full width of your house. That extra space cannot only help increase the size of your kitchen but also your living room at the same time.


Wrap Around Kitchen Room Extension: For those fortunate enough to have extra space to both the rear and side of your house, this option will give you the biggest kitchen possible. With this type of design, you might also have space for a utility room, huge kitchen island and breakfast bar.

 

Does your existing driveway need repair or refurbishment?


If you are seeking professional advice or looking for a quote, we have a wealth of experience and a proven track record in delivering projects on-time and within budget.


All our driveways and patios are installed with the necessary compacted sub-base material to make sure they last the test of time.

Introduction A new year brings fresh ideas — especially for homeowners thinking about upgrading or extending their living space. As we step into 2026, many people across Surrey are re-evaluating how their homes look, feel, and function. At Jigsaw Construction Surrey Ltd , we’ve already seen clear patterns emerging in the types of projects homeowners are enquiring about. From smarter layouts to eco-friendly upgrades, 2026 is shaping up to be a year focused on comfort, practicality, and long-term value. Here are the top home renovation trends we expect to see this year — and how they can transform your home. 1. Open-Plan Kitchen & Living Spaces Open-plan layouts continue to dominate renovation plans, and 2026 is no different. Homeowners want brighter, more sociable spaces that bring families together and improve daily living. Why it’s trending: Better natural light More space for entertaining A modern, spacious feel Great for property value For older Surrey homes with smaller rooms, removing walls or reconfiguring layouts can completely transform the way the home feels. 2. Energy-Efficient Upgrades With increasing focus on rising energy costs and sustainability, energy efficiency remains one of the biggest renovation priorities this year. Popular upgrades include: High-performance insulation A-rated windows and doors Underfloor heating Smart thermostats and TRVs Heat pumps and efficient boilers These improvements not only reduce bills—they make your home more comfortable year-round. For eco-conscious families, sustainability is no longer a bonus; it’s essential. 3. Garage Conversions and Loft Conversions Space is at a premium in Surrey, and homeowners are looking for ways to maximise what they already have. Conversions continue to be one of the most affordable and effective solutions. Why conversions are booming: No need for large extensions Faster completion times Great for home offices, bedrooms, gyms or playrooms Adds significant property value At Jigsaw Construction Surrey Ltd, garage conversions remain one of our most in-demand services heading into 2026. 4. Garden Rooms & Outdoor Office Spaces With flexible working now a long-term reality, many homeowners want functional, year-round garden rooms. Uses include: Home office Studio or workshop Guest room Gym Entertainment room These spaces offer a private, comfortable place to work or relax — without the cost of a full extension. 5. Sustainable & Natural Building Materials Homeowners are increasingly choosing environmentally conscious options in their renovations. Popular materials include: Sustainably sourced timber Natural stone Low-VOC paints Recycled or reclaimed materials These choices reduce environmental impact while giving homes a modern, stylish, and timeless finish. 6. Budget-Friendly Mini Renovations With many families keeping a closer eye on spending, smaller renovations are becoming more popular — offering big impact without breaking the bank. Examples include: Updating kitchens with new doors/worktops Modern bathroom refreshes New flooring Improved lighting Minor layout tweaks Internal redecoration for a fresh, modern feel These upgrades are perfect for improving comfort and adding value without committing to major works.
