What Twickenham properties actually throw up
- Edwardian and 1930s semis — Bay fronts, original wiring loops and small rear kitchens. The most common brief here is opening up the back of the house and bringing the electrics up to standard at the same time.
- Victorian terraces — Solid walls, suspended timber floors and the usual century of patchwork underneath the floorboards.
- Post-war and newer housing — Straightforward fabric, so the work is mostly specification and finish rather than problem-solving.
Twickenham is largely family housing being adapted rather than flats being turned around, which changes the job: people are usually living in the property while we work. Dust control, sequencing and keeping a working kitchen or bathroom for as long as possible are part of what we plan, not an afterthought.

How we work
- Fixed price, agreed before we start. We survey the property, price the risks we can see, and hold that figure. We do not price low and find extras later.
- One team, one contact. Every trade is ours, so there is no gap between the plumber finishing and the tiler turning up, and nobody to blame if something is wrong.
- Two-year workmanship warranty on completed works.
- CDM Principal Contractor and Principal Designer qualified — the health and safety duty-holder role most small builders cannot take on, and a requirement on larger domestic projects.
- Over 100 completed projects across West London, including an eleven-flat commercial conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a builder cost in Twickenham?
For defined works we quote a fixed price rather than a day rate. As a guide, a bathroom refit starts from £3,500 + VAT and a full one or two-bed flat refurbishment from £18,000 + VAT. Small repair visits are quoted individually.
Do you charge for a quote or a site visit?
No. The survey and the written fixed-price quote are free, and there is no obligation.
How long does a bathroom take in Twickenham?
Seven to ten working days for a standard three-piece refit. Layout changes, wet rooms and premium tiling run to two or three weeks, because the first-fix plumbing and tanking take longer.
Do I need planning permission to renovate in Twickenham?
Richmond upon Thames Council covers planning and Building Control for Twickenham. Internal renovation normally needs no planning permission, though Building Regulations still apply to electrics, gas, drainage and structural work. Parts of TW1 and TW2 are conservation areas where external changes are restricted.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Twickenham?
Yes — between-tenancy refreshes, full refurbishments and planned maintenance. Fixed prices and defined completion dates, which is usually what matters most when a property is standing empty.
Which areas near Twickenham do you cover?
Twickenham (TW1 and TW2), Richmond, Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, and the rest of West London.
