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.

Mansard conversions or modest dormers create extra space while respecting rooflines.

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 loft conversions

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

£60k–£140k typical — 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".

Common questions

Loft conversions in Kew — frequent questions

Do you do loft conversions in Kew?

How long does a loft conversions project take in Kew?

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.

Will I need planning permission in Kew?

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.

Will my loft conversion need planning permission?

Many lofts fall under permitted development if you stay within volume limits. Conservation areas always need full planning. We handle either route.

How tall must my loft be to convert?

You need at least 2.2m of head height in the existing loft. We measure on the first visit and confirm what conversion fits.

Will the build be disruptive?

Most of the work happens upstairs, with rooflight access for materials. You stay in your home throughout.
