Get in touch

Let’s talk about your project.

Tell us about your new build, extension or refurbishment. Send the form, ring the mobile or drop us an email, and you will be talking to the people who would actually do the work.

Before you write

Every job we have ever done started with a conversation. Usually quite a short one.

There is no call centre here and no enquiry form that vanishes into a queue. Your message comes through to the office in Reigate and is read by someone who knows the diary, knows which sites are running and can tell you quickly whether we are the right firm for what you have in mind.

You will normally hear back the same working day. Write in the evening or over a weekend and you will hear from us on the next working day instead. If it is urgent, water coming in or something structural you are worried about, ring the mobile rather than sending an email. That is always the fastest way to reach us.

Nothing you send commits you to anything. Plenty of people get in touch a year before they are ready to build, simply to work out whether the idea stacks up and what it might cost. That is a sensible way to use us, and we are happy to talk it through long before anyone puts a date in a diary.

Get in touch

Start your project.

A few lines about the property and what you would like to do is plenty to start with. The more you can tell us, the more useful our first reply will be.

What happens next

From the first call to a start date.

Four steps, and you will know exactly where you stand at the end of each one.

1

The first call

We ring you back, or reply to your email, and ask a few questions about the property, what you want to do and when you would like it done. Ten minutes on the phone usually tells us both whether it is worth meeting.

2

The site visit

We come to the property at a time that suits you, look at the building properly, take measurements and photographs and talk through what is possible. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation afterwards.

3

The written quotation

You get a written, itemised quotation setting out the work, the specification and the price, so you can see what is included and what is not. We go through it with you and answer anything that is not clear.

4

The start date

Once you are happy, we agree a start date, a programme and a payment schedule in writing before anyone lifts a tool. You will know who is coming, when they arrive and what happens in the first week.

Getting a useful answer

What to tell us.

Five things that turn a vague enquiry into a straight answer, usually on the first reply.

Your enquiry

The more we know, the better the first reply.

You do not need any of this to get in touch. But if you have it to hand, it saves a round of emails and gets you a proper answer sooner.

  • Property type and age. A 1930s semi, a Victorian villa, a 1970s detached or a barn conversion. The age of a building changes how we price nearly everything, from the foundations to the way new work ties into old.
  • What you want to do. A rough idea is fine. A bigger kitchen, a bedroom in the loft, a whole house brought up to date. Tell us the problem you are trying to solve and we will suggest ways of solving it.
  • Rough timescale. Hoping to start in a few weeks, or thinking about next spring? It lets us tell you honestly when we could get to you rather than promise a date we cannot hold to.
  • Whether drawings exist. If you already have plans, send them over and we can price from them. If you have nothing yet, say so, and we can introduce you to architects and designers we trust.
  • Whether planning has been applied for. Approved, submitted, or not started at all. Each one puts you at a different point on the timeline and changes what we can usefully tell you today.
Opening hours

When you can reach us.

Office hours are simple. Getting hold of us outside them is simple too.

Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00

Our sites are usually running from eight in the morning, so an early call often catches us in the van rather than at a desk. That is fine, and it is frequently the quickest way to get an answer. If we are on a roof or with a client we will not always pick up, so leave a message or send a text and we will come back to you.

We are closed at weekends and on bank holidays. Anything that arrives then is picked up on the next working day, and nothing gets lost. If you are already a client and something goes wrong on site outside those hours, ring the mobile rather than waiting.

  • Phone. 07973 933125 for anything urgent, or anything that is easier said than typed.
  • Email. info@ic-d.co.uk. Attach photographs or drawings if you have them, and we will read them before we ring.
  • WhatsApp. Useful for sending photographs of a problem straight from your phone, especially cracks, damp and leaks.
  • The enquiry form. Sent at midnight or midday, it lands in the same inbox and gets read by the same people.
Where we work

Based in Reigate, working across east Surrey.

Most of our work sits within about half an hour of the base, and that closeness matters.

Being local means an early start on site, a short run back if something needs a second look after handover, and a team who already know how the planning departments and building control officers in this part of Surrey work. It also means the people who quote your job are the people you will see on it.

Finding us

Reigate, Surrey RH2.

One thing worth saying plainly before you set off with a postcode in the satnav.

Our registered office is at 49 Vogan Close, Reigate, Surrey RH2 8AT. It is an office address, not a shop and not a showroom, so please do not call in unannounced. There is nothing there to look at, and most days there is nobody there to greet you, because the work happens on site.

If you would like to meet face to face we are glad to arrange it. Ring or email first and we will either come out to your property, which is nearly always more useful, or fix a time to sit down with the drawings. Either way, a call beforehand means you get somebody’s full attention instead of a locked door.

Good to know

Quotes and visits, answered.

Is a quotation free?
Yes. The first visit and the written quotation that follows it are free, and they carry no obligation at all. You are welcome to take the figure away, compare it with others and think about it for as long as you need. We would far rather you were sure than rushed, because a client who has been pushed into a decision is not a happy client six months into a build.
How long until we get the quote?
For a straightforward job, usually within about a week of the site visit. For a full refurbishment or a new build we often need prices back from suppliers and specialist trades before we can put a proper figure together, so allow a little longer. We will tell you at the visit which of the two yours is and roughly when to expect it, and if it is going to be late you will hear from us rather than wonder.
Do you charge for a site visit?
No. Coming out, looking at the property and talking through what is possible costs you nothing, wherever you are in our area. If a project needs detailed survey work, structural calculations or drawings before it can be priced properly, that is chargeable work by other people, and we will tell you what it costs and why before anything is instructed.
Do you work to fixed prices?
Yes. We quote a fixed price against a written specification, so you know what you are paying and exactly what you are getting for it. The figure changes only if you change what you have asked for, or if something genuinely unforeseen turns up once we open the building up, which happens on older houses. Either way it is priced, explained and agreed in writing before we carry on.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and SSIP assessed, and we carry full insurance. We are happy to send copies of the certificates along with a quotation, and we would encourage you to ask any builder for the same before you sign anything. It takes a minute and it tells you a great deal about who you are dealing with.
