BUILDING IN KINGSTON

Kingston sits on the south bank of the Thames and blends centuries-old riverside houses with newer suburban streets. Near the river you see Georgian and Victorian terraces, while further inland there are semi-detached and detached family homes. This mix means both extensions and full new-build projects are viable — many plots have wide gardens and side alleys.

Side or rear additions transform narrow kitchens into open-plan family spaces. Two-storey extensions provide extra bedrooms without moving.

Recent Kingston projects include a glass-roofed kitchen extension on a Victorian terrace, a mansard conversion creating a parents’ suite, and a two-storey family home built on a riverside plot.

Local advantage

Why Kingston 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".
