Home improvements & building · Cranleigh
A careful next chapter for your Cranleigh home.
Cranleigh is in Surrey, where a walk along the High Street connects the timber-framed hospital cottage, St Nicolas Church and the village fountain. Different materials and changing uses give each a distinct place in village life. From Brighton and Hove, INTEGRAL considers larger Cranleigh renovations and specialist projects by arrangement, developing a clear scope around the rooms, services and finishes involved.
Which parts of the existing character do you value?
The old hospital cottage began as a home before taking on its medical role in 1859. Its visible timber frame is a reminder to understand a building before changing its use. List the details you want to keep and the activities the house must accommodate next. A retained doorway or hearth can help organise a new kitchen. Existing drawings and designation information are useful starting points for any discussion about an older property.
Bring material choices into the room
Cranleigh’s fountain combines local sandstone columns with a Horsham stone roof, while St Nicolas brings another scale of stonework to the High Street. A domestic interior can use a similarly concise material palette without copying a historic style. View samples together beside retained floors, joinery and windows. For large-format tiling, discuss delivery access, handling and the existing background as well as the appearance of the finished surface.
Make a larger brief work as one project
If several rooms are changing, identify their shared services and the sequence in which they will be needed. An extension may affect the kitchen, upstairs circulation or heating arrangement even when the proposed new space is modest. Mark where the household will cook, wash and store belongings during the work. For a project undertaken by arrangement, clear drawings, access information and priorities make the first assessment more useful.
Need help sourcing materials?
If you haven’t yet sourced your materials, or would like help choosing products and finishes, we work hand in hand with our sister company, Old Bank Kitchens, to help you find the right options for your project.

A sense of place

Landmarks and historical connections in and around Cranleigh.
Village Hospital Cottage
The timber-framed cottage dates to the fifteenth century and became a cottage hospital in 1859, giving a small domestic building a lasting community role.
St Nicolas Church
The church’s origins reach back to around 1170; its fourteenth-century tower is one of the High Street’s established architectural landmarks.
The village fountain
The former drinking fountain is supported by sandstone columns beneath a Horsham stone roof, with a crane figure above recalling the village’s emblem.

Yes. Larger renovations and specialist work can be considered by arrangement from Brighton and Hove. Share the address and scope so suitability and availability can be discussed.
Should we choose tiles before discussing the building work?
Examples are helpful, but keep the choice open until dimensions, backgrounds and access have been reviewed. The installation requirements should inform the wider room plan.
