BUILDING IN CHISWICK
Chiswick is a leafy west-London neighbourhood of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion flats and the distinctive Queen Anne houses of the Bedford Park garden suburb. Much of it sits within conservation areas, so adding space is about respecting the street's character while opening up family living.
Side-return and full-width rear extensions are the staple here — turning narrow Victorian kitchens into open-plan family space. We design them sympathetically and handle any conservation-area consent end-to-end.
Local advantage
Why Chiswick homeowners choose DPS for house extensions.
01 · PLANNING HANDLED
We handle the permission side in-house.
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.
02 · ONE TEAM
Architects, builders, project managers — all in-house.
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.
03 · TRANSPARENT PRICING
From £2,500 / m² — itemised and fixed.
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".
