Builders in Esher for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in Esher, KT10. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.
Building work in Esher
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Esher. Homes here are mostly detached houses on private roads, with period cottages and villas near the High Street and the Green, and most of the work we are asked for is large glazed extensions and whole house refurbishments of detached houses.
Esher is bordered by Metropolitan Green Belt, where extensions and replacement houses are judged against the size of the original building. Planning applications and building control are handled by Elmbridge Borough Council.
Several private roads in Esher have their own residents' associations with rules on working hours and contractor parking.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Esher do you cover?
We cover the whole of Esher (KT10), including the streets around Sandown Park and Claremont Landscape Garden. We also work in East Molesey, Walton-on-Thames and Surbiton, all within 6 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Esher?
It depends on the plot. In the Green Belt around Esher, an extension must not be disproportionate to the original house, so the size of the existing building and any earlier extensions matter. Houses within the built-up area can often still use permitted development. Elmbridge Borough Council decides applications, and we check the planning history before designing.
What kind of building work do you carry out in Esher?
Most of the work in Esher is large glazed extensions and whole house refurbishments of detached houses. The typical properties are detached houses on private roads, with period cottages and villas near the High Street and the Green. 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 Esher?
Elmbridge Borough Council. 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 Esher?
Yes. Our project diary for a detached house in Bookham, about 10 km from Esher, shows a full-width glazed extension from the dig-out in May 2025 to handover in February 2026.
