Builders in Rye

If you’re searching for trusted builders in Rye, SDS Builders are here to help. With more than 20 years of experience, we deliver high-quality house extensions, loft conversions, kitchen installations, bathroom renovations, and full refurbishments across East Sussex.

Rye is renowned for its historic charm, with cobbled streets, medieval cottages, and period townhouses, as well as newer family homes in Tilling Green and Rye Harbour. Many properties here require sympathetic renovation, modern layouts, or extra space. Whether you’re restoring a listed building, extending a modern home, or upgrading a coastal property, we have the expertise to achieve the perfect finish.

A thoughtfully designed extension can transform your home and improve the way you live. In Rye, we’ve completed everything from compact kitchen-diner additions to larger rear and two-storey extensions.

Popular extensions in Rye include:

• Kitchen-diner rear extensions for growing families
  
• Side-return extensions for terraced homes in the town centre
  
• Two-storey additions adding bedrooms and bathrooms
  
• Wrap-around extensions for maximum space and flexibility
  

Our team manages every stage of the process, from design and planning permission through to construction and finishing touches.

Many period and family homes in Rye have generous roof spaces that are perfect for conversion. A loft conversion is an excellent way to create a master bedroom, home office, or guest suite without moving.

We regularly build:

• Dormer lofts for additional light and space
  
• Velux/rooflight conversions for a cost-effective upgrade
  
• Mansard or hip-to-gable conversions to maximise floor area
  

All projects are fully compliant with Building Regulations and tailored to your needs.

Older cottages and townhouses in Rye often have smaller kitchens that don’t suit modern living. We provide full kitchen design and installation services, helping homeowners create stylish, practical spaces.

Our kitchen service includes:

• Bespoke design tailored to your property
  
• Plumbing, gas, and electrical works
  
• Cabinet and worktop fitting
  
• Flooring, tiling, and decorating
  
• Disposal of your old kitchen
  

Whether you want a modern open-plan kitchen or a design that blends seamlessly with period character, we’ll deliver a kitchen that works for your lifestyle.

Bathrooms in Rye properties range from compact attic shower rooms to large family bathrooms. We design and install bathrooms that are both functional and beautifully finished.

We can install:

• Contemporary family bathrooms
  
• Compact en-suites for cottages and period homes
  
• Stylish shower rooms for holiday lets
• Luxury bathrooms with high-end fixtures
