Builders in Richmond for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in Richmond, TW9 and TW10. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.
Building work in Richmond
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Richmond. Homes here are mostly Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Richmond Green and the Hill, with Edwardian houses towards Kew and Sheen, and most of the work we are asked for is full refurbishments of period houses and flats, with panelling and restoration, and rear extensions where the planning position allows.
Large parts of Richmond are covered by conservation areas, where roof extensions, side extensions and changes to front elevations are more tightly controlled than elsewhere. Planning applications and building control are handled by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
The view from Richmond Hill is protected by Act of Parliament, and the council looks closely at roof alterations that would be seen from the Hill or the river.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Richmond do you cover?
We cover the whole of Richmond (TW9 and TW10), including the streets around Richmond Green and Richmond Hill. We also work in Twickenham, East Sheen and Barnes, all within 5 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Richmond?
Often, yes. Large parts of Richmond are conservation areas, where roof extensions, side extensions and cladding that would be permitted development elsewhere need a planning application. Flats and maisonettes need permission for any extension. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames decides applications, and we check the status of your address before design work starts.
What kind of building work do you carry out in Richmond?
Most of the work in Richmond is full refurbishments of period houses and flats, with panelling and restoration, and rear extensions where the planning position allows. The typical properties are Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Richmond Green and the Hill, with Edwardian houses towards Kew and Sheen. 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 Richmond?
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 Richmond?
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 21 km from Richmond.
