Builders in Leatherhead for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in Leatherhead, KT22. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.
Building work in Leatherhead
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Leatherhead. Homes here are mostly inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached houses, with Victorian houses near the town centre, and most of the work we are asked for is rear extensions and loft conversions to family houses.
Leatherhead 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 Mole Valley District Council.
Our Bookham project was recorded in our own photographs as Leatherhead and Bookham West, so this is ground we know.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Leatherhead do you cover?
We cover the whole of Leatherhead (KT22), including the streets around the River Mole and Leatherhead town bridge. We also work in Bookham, Epsom and Cobham, all within 7 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Leatherhead?
It depends on the plot. In the Green Belt around Leatherhead, 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. Mole Valley District Council decides applications, and we check the planning history before designing.
What kind of building work do you carry out in Leatherhead?
Most of the work in Leatherhead is rear extensions and loft conversions to family houses. The typical properties are inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached houses, with Victorian houses near the town centre. 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 Leatherhead?
Mole Valley District 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 Leatherhead?
Yes. Our project diary for a detached house in Bookham, about 4 km from Leatherhead, shows a full-width glazed extension from the dig-out in May 2025 to handover in February 2026.
