What Kingston upon Thames properties actually throw up
- Victorian terraces around the town centre — Narrow, deep plans with a rear addition that has usually been altered at least once. Checking the existing structure comes first.
- 1930s semis in the outer roads — Original wiring, solid floors and generous plots. Most briefs here are kitchen-diner reconfigurations and full rewires.
- Flats and riverside conversions — Freeholder consent and building management rules shape the programme more than the specification does.
Kingston work is mostly family homes being upgraded rather than investment stock being turned around, so the deciding factor is usually how long the household can live without a kitchen. We plan the sequence around that and commit to dates rather than estimates.

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 Kingston upon Thames?
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 Kingston upon Thames?
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 Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston Council covers planning and Building Control. Internal renovation normally needs no planning permission, though Building Regulations apply to electrics, gas, drainage and structural work. Conservation areas exist around the older parts of the town, where external changes are restricted.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Kingston upon Thames?
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 Kingston upon Thames do you cover?
Kingston upon Thames (KT1 and KT2), Wimbledon, Twickenham, Epsom, and the rest of West London.
