Building in Ham.
Ham sits quietly between Richmond and Kingston, with leafy lanes off Ham Common, 1930s cottages near the village green and Edwardian semis on the streets toward the river. Generous plots and conservation guidance both shape what is possible here.

What we deliver in Ham.
Each Ham street has its own typical layout — Victorian terrace, Edwardian semi, 1930s detached. We adapt the recommendation to the house, the planning context and how you actually want to live.
Side-return and rear extensions open up dark Edwardian semis to long gardens. On 1930s cottages, careful single-storey extensions add modern living without overwhelming the original profile.
Hip-to-gable conversions are standard on the 1930s stock; on Edwardian semis we usually go dormer to keep the street elevation clean.
Larger plots near Ham Common occasionally allow ground-up replacement; designs respect the village character and the Common's sightlines.
SERVICE 01 House extensions in Ham
A house extension is the biggest investment you can make in your home — it should transform how your family lives, not just add square metres. We design every extension around how you actually use your space, with a fixed, itemised price and stage-based payments so you stay in control from first sketch to handover.

SERVICE 02 Loft conversions in Ham
A loft conversion adds an entire floor without losing any garden. We design lofts as proper rooms — full-height ceilings, generous windows, en-suite bathrooms — not afterthoughts squeezed into the rafters.
