Builders in Kingston upon Thames for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in Kingston upon Thames, KT1 and KT2. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.

Building work in Kingston upon Thames
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Kingston upon Thames. Homes here are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis around the town centre and Canbury, with larger inter-war houses on Kingston Hill and Coombe, and most of the work we are asked for is side return and rear extensions to terraces, and dormer lofts on semis.
Kingston upon Thames 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 Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Streets close to the river and the town centre have limited parking and narrow side access, so deliveries and skips are planned before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Kingston upon Thames do you cover?
We cover the whole of Kingston upon Thames (KT1 and KT2), including the streets around Canbury Gardens and Kingston Bridge. We also work in Surbiton, Teddington and New Malden, all within 4 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Kingston upon Thames?
It depends on the street. Outside the conservation areas, many rear extensions and loft conversions to houses in Kingston upon Thames can be built under permitted development, and a lawful development certificate from the Royal Borough of Kingston 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 Kingston upon Thames?
Most of the work in Kingston upon Thames is side return and rear extensions to terraces, and dormer lofts on semis. The typical properties are Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis around the town centre and Canbury, with larger inter-war houses on Kingston Hill and Coombe. 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 Kingston upon Thames?
The Royal Borough of Kingston 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 Kingston upon Thames?
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 16 km from Kingston upon Thames.
