Builders in Surbiton for Extensions, Lofts & Refurbishment
Design and build for homes and commercial premises in Surbiton, KT5 and KT6. One team and one point of contact from the first drawing to handover.

Building work in Surbiton
London Design & Construction designs and builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Surbiton. Homes here are mostly Victorian villas near the station and the river, with Edwardian and inter-war semis towards Berrylands and Tolworth, and most of the work we are asked for is refurbishments of Victorian villas and flats, and rear extensions to semis.
Surbiton 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.
Many of the large Victorian villas near the station have been divided into flats, which have no permitted development rights for extensions.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Surbiton do you cover?
We cover the whole of Surbiton (KT5 and KT6), including the streets around Surbiton station and Claremont Gardens. We also work in Kingston upon Thames, East Molesey and New Malden, all within 4 km.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Surbiton?
It depends on the street. Outside the conservation areas, many rear extensions and loft conversions to houses in Surbiton 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 Surbiton?
Most of the work in Surbiton is refurbishments of Victorian villas and flats, and rear extensions to semis. The typical properties are Victorian villas near the station and the river, with Edwardian and inter-war semis towards Berrylands and Tolworth. 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 Surbiton?
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 Surbiton?
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 14 km from Surbiton.
