Home improvements & building · Tangmere
Give your Tangmere project a considered starting point.
Tangmere’s story spans the medieval church of St Andrew’s, the former RAF watch office and the Military Aviation Museum established in 1982. The village’s buildings have served very different purposes, and a home enquiry also starts with purpose. INTEGRAL considers larger or specialist Tangmere projects by arrangement from Brighton and Hove, with the property, proposed work and practical access defining the conversation.
What should the project brief establish before choosing a room?
A kitchen might need to accommodate cooking for guests, quiet weekday meals and working from home. List those uses and identify where they conflict now. The aviation museum preserves a history of equipment designed around specific tasks; domestic planning benefits from similar attention to use. Measure the furniture you want to keep and draw appliance openings. Establish how people will pass through the room before deciding what additional cabinetry is useful.
Read the existing building carefully
St Andrew’s retains a medieval chancel and a timber-supported bell turret, while the former RAF control tower dates from 1944. These landmarks show why a Tangmere address alone cannot describe the construction of a home. For an extension or substantial alteration, share existing drawings, photographs and any known property information. Discuss how the new space connects to older rooms, including daylight, floor levels and the relationship with the garden.
Bring heating into the early decisions
A broader refurbishment can affect several connected services. Changing the kitchen or adding a bathroom may alter the hot-water discussion; new floor finishes need coordination with any proposed heating work. Describe the present system, occupancy and areas that are difficult to keep comfortable. Leave room for controls and maintenance access. With Tangmere work considered by arrangement, a clear combined scope also helps establish suitable visits, sequencing and the information needed before work proceeds.
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.

Before we begin
Planning work in Tangmere?
Every project starts with a conversation.
How are Tangmere projects considered?
Larger or specialist projects are assessed by arrangement from Brighton and Hove. Send the full postcode, overall scope and photographs so availability and practical next steps can be discussed.
Are drawings needed for the first conversation?
Existing drawings are useful if available, especially for an extension. An initial enquiry can begin with photographs and a clear account of what you want the house to accommodate.
