Builders in Banstead, Oxted, Reigate and all Surrey Areas Located in Redhill
Originally formed in 1975 and taken over by James in 2004, Whitley Builders is a 2nd-generation company that still trades today as a family-run business with family-held values. Located in Redhill, we offer services to domestic and commercial customers across the Surrey area, bringing more than 120 years of combined experience to our projects. Much of our business comes from the word-of-mouth referrals and testimonials of our previous clients.
Areas covered by our general and new home builders include Banstead, Oxted and Reigate, and all towns and villages throughout the county.
Our talent for new home builds, loft conversions, property extensions, home renovations and property refurbishments has seen us work with some of the leading architects in the area. We also specialise in renewable energies by taking on solar panel installations and, for those with more luxurious tastes, Whitley Builders also accepts projects related to swimming pool construction.
You can visit our website portfolio to see examples of our previous work, and we invite you to contact us if you would like us to tender for your business.
About Whitley Builders
It is our vision to be the premier family-run building company in the South of England, and we set about achieving this objective through the quality of our workmanship and upholding traditional customer service values. We want to benefit our customers and our community through a core mission statement that makes value-added services, professionalism, honesty, integrity and fair trading the very cornerstones of what we can do for you as a business.
- Our business philosophy is to under-promise and over-deliver
- Benefit from transparent estimates and quotations
- Whitley Builders is a trusted and well-established local company
- It is our guarantee to deliver the end project on time, every time
Whitley Builders owns its own plant and machinery, which saves the customer money on hire costs and keeps all work in-house. We have narrow equipment available to use in areas with restricted access, and we can bring plant and machinery to site using a dependable vehicle fleet for transportation.
Our general and new home builders understand the individual requirements of every project, achieving a high standard of workmanship without running over the client’s budget. Our business owner oversees and manages the project as your dedicated point of contact with the wider support of an administrative team to ensure everything runs smoothy once we are onsite.
If a lack of habitable space affects how you use or live in the home, we can propose manageable ideas to increase a property’s footprint or convert space that already exists. If you would like inspiration, ask to see some of our previous work in Banstead, Oxted, Reigate or the surrounding Surrey area.
All workmanship is covered by a 12-month guarantee and new builds come with a standard 10-year warranty to cover labour and material defects.
Our insurance-backed warranties come supplied by Build Zone.
All key personnel and many builders on our team have sat their City & Guilds, NVQ and HNC qualifications, and gone on to earn their CSCS cards and gained SMSTS accreditation. All other manual trades used have registration to their respective governing bodies, including NICEIC, Gas Safe and HETAS.
Our general and new home builders comply with the UK Building Regulations, and we can also assist you with brickwork and ironworks.
We try to ensure that our employees have as many of these qualifications as possible to guarantee higher industry standards. Teams are trained on the project or in-house. Sometimes, we use external training providers to educate on larger items of plant, equipment and machinery, such as forklift trucks.
External companies administer first aid training, and we also hold regular toolbox talks. Training is very important to us. We invest time and money to ensure staff sustain high levels of competence, health and safety.
We are currently running an apprenticeship programme so a new generation of builders can continue to enter the industry and be developed.
Whitley Builders is recognised as “Investors in People”.

South Nutfield, 2021

“We were very happy from beginning to end of this project! All the guys who worked here were very friendly and cheerful. They worked hard and always left the site tidy and safe. They took a lot of trouble to make sure the gates were closed so the dog didn’t get out, which I really appreciated! The end result is nothing short of amazing! The “shed” looks as if it has always been here. Could not be better. Absolutely delighted with the new building. Thank you.”

“Many thanks for everything.The project has gone so much better than we ever imagined – every time we had a concern or worry, James not only took it in his stride but was always already on the case and had a solution in hand.”
Whitley Builders has built up a rapport with local tradesmen who are able to offer bespoke services, whether that is intricate brickwork to match existing walls as part of a renovation scenario and preserving the historical nature of a structure, or as brickwork to enhance an external landscaping project.
The photos on our website show some of the projects we have undertaken in the past, which include brickwork, ironwork and joinery.
Subcontractors
Where we need to bring in external experts, we work closely (and for some, we have done so over many years) with local subcontractors. They bring expertise and additional experience to the table in the form of bespoke brickwork, electrical installations and plumbing or heating services. As experts in their own field, we ensure subcontractors are always fully up to speed with the latest regulations and requirements, have the relevant insurances and trade certifications for their industries in place, and bring their additional knowledge to pass on to us and clients of what has worked well in the past.
Call our general and new home builders on 01737 780788 or 07960 403789. We cover Banstead, Oxted, Reigate and all Surrey areas.
