Builders in East Sheen for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in East Sheen, SW14. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.
Building work in East Sheen
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in East Sheen. Homes here are mostly Edwardian and inter-war houses between the Upper Richmond Road and Richmond Park, and most of the work we are asked for is rear extensions, loft conversions and kitchen refurbishments to family houses.
East Sheen is a mix of ordinary residential streets and pockets of conservation area, so what can be built without a full planning application changes from one road to the next. Planning applications and building control are handled by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Houses on the Parkside streets near Sheen Gate are larger and often suit a two storey rear extension, which needs a planning application.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of East Sheen do you cover?
We cover the whole of East Sheen (SW14), including the streets around the Sheen Gate of Richmond Park and Palewell Common. We also work in Barnes, Richmond and Putney, all within 4 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in East Sheen?
It depends on the street. Outside the conservation areas, many rear extensions and loft conversions to houses in East Sheen can be built under permitted development, and a lawful development certificate from the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames confirms it. Inside a conservation area, or for a flat, a planning application is usually needed. We check which applies to your address first.
What kind of building work do you carry out in East Sheen?
Most of the work in East Sheen is rear extensions, loft conversions and kitchen refurbishments to family houses. The typical properties are Edwardian and inter-war houses between the Upper Richmond Road and Richmond Park. Each project has one point of contact, with design, structure, plumbing, electrics and roofing carried out by our own team.
Which council deals with planning and building control in East Sheen?
The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Where a project needs a planning application or a lawful development certificate, the drawings are prepared before work starts, and building control inspections are arranged at each stage of the build.
Can I see examples of your work near East Sheen?
Our project diaries show a rear extension to a London stock brick terrace and the refurbishment of a period flat, each photographed at every stage, along with a detached house extension in Bookham, about 22 km from East Sheen.
