What we deliver in Barnes

Every street sits differently — a period terrace, a post-war semi, a modern infill. We shape the recommendation around your actual house, its planning context and how you want to live.

01 · House extensions

Rear extensions with brick or timber facades and slim-framed glazing complement houses around Barnes Pond. Mews houses often require vertical additions rather than large rear extensions.

02 · Loft conversions

Mansard conversions are the norm here — they add a full extra storey without spoiling the skyline.

03 · New builds

Occasionally we replace small cottages with modern family homes — always respecting the village character.

Common Barnes questions

Things you might need to know about building in Barnes.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Barnes?

Many extensions in Barnes fall under permitted development. Where a full application is needed, it goes to Richmond upon Thames Council — we assess your property type, the council's restrictions and any conservation status on the first visit, and handle the application ourselves.

How long does a project in Barnes typically take?

From first consultation to handover: 6–9 months for a single-storey extension or loft, 9–14 months for double-storey or wrap-around. We give you a tighter estimate after the survey.

Are there conservation areas in Barnes?

Several streets in Richmond upon Thames Council's area fall within conservation areas that restrict materials and detailing. We check your exact address against the register on the first visit, and we have approved schemes in conservation areas nearby.

What is a typical extension cost in Barnes?

Build cost in this part of London runs £2,500–£4,000 per square metre for a finished extension including kitchen and finishes. Our calculator gives a personalised estimate.
