BUILDING IN MORTLAKE

Mortlake is a riverside neighbourhood of Victorian terraces between Barnes and Kew, close to the Thames towpath. Side-return extensions and loft conversions are the natural way to add space to its period homes.

New-build plots are scarce in Mortlake, but we take on replacement dwellings and infill where they arise.

Local advantage

Why Mortlake homeowners choose DPS for new builds.

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 £3,000 / 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".
