BUILDING IN KEW

Kew is famous for its botanical gardens and leafy streets. Its riverside location and UNESCO-listed heritage make it a sensitive planning environment — planning authorities require alterations to preserve the historic character.

Rear extensions with large rooflights bring natural light into narrow Victorian houses. Wrap-around extensions need careful roof detailing to satisfy planning.

Kew projects include a glazed rear extension on a leafy avenue, a mansard conversion with two bedrooms and an in-character two-storey replacement home on a garden plot.

Local advantage

Why Kew 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".
