BUILDING IN EARLSFIELD
Earlsfield has a village-like atmosphere and strong family demand. Its streets are lined with late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Side-return kitchen extensions are particularly popular here.
Side-return extensions turn narrow kitchens into light-filled spaces; rear extensions sometimes add full-width steel-framed openings.
In Earlsfield we have completed side-return extensions with skylights, two dormer conversions and a kitchen extension with a vaulted ceiling.
Local advantage
Why Earlsfield 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".
