We design, plan and build loft conversions across Barnes and the wider Richmond upon Thames borough — one team, one fixed price, one project manager from sketch to handover.
Barnes is one of London’s most desirable villages. It’s home to Victorian terraces, mews houses and riverside cottages. Planning is strict, and mansard loft conversions often replace standard dormers to preserve rooflines.
Mansard conversions are the norm here — they add a full extra storey without spoiling the skyline.
Recent Barnes projects include a mansard conversion on a Victorian terrace and a complete replacement of a riverside cottage with a contemporary home.
Planning drawings, building-regulations and party-wall paperwork are prepared and submitted by our own team — including for conservation-area or listed properties where extra consent is needed. One point of contact owns both the approvals and the build, so nothing falls between an architect and a separate contractor.
No subcontractor juggling. From the first sketch through structural engineering to final snagging, your project moves through people who all sit in the same office and answer to the same project manager.
You pay in stages, only after each stage is signed off. Variations only happen when scope genuinely changes — and they go through written authorisation, never a verbal "while we are at it".

Yes — Barnes (SW13) is well within our Richmond upon Thames working area. We typically deliver several loft conversions projects across this borough each year.
End-to-end (consultation → handover) usually 8–14 weeks. Build phase alone is shorter — most loft conversions sites complete in 8–18 weeks depending on scope and finishes.
Typical range: £60k–£140k typical. Our online calculator gives you a tighter figure based on your house type and ambitions; the fixed quote follows a free site visit.
It depends on the property. Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, especially in Richmond upon Thames. Where planning is needed (conservation areas, listed properties, larger schemes), we handle the application end-to-end.
Many lofts fall under permitted development if you stay within volume limits. Conservation areas always need full planning. We handle either route.
You need at least 2.2m of head height in the existing loft. We measure on the first visit and confirm what conversion fits.
Most of the work happens upstairs, with rooflight access for materials. You stay in your home throughout.
