What Richmond properties actually throw up
- Georgian and early Victorian houses — Lime plaster, timber sashes and solid walls that need to breathe. Modern impermeable materials cause damp in these buildings — the right specification matters more than the price of it.
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces — Sound, but a century of alterations underneath. We open up carefully before committing to a fixed price.
- Riverside properties — Anything near the Thames needs sensible thought about floor build-ups, materials and ventilation at ground level.
Richmond has a high concentration of conservation areas and listed buildings, and the council applies them seriously. It is also a borough where the wrong repair specification on a period building causes damp two winters later — so we specify breathable materials where the building needs them, even when a cheaper option exists.

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 Richmond?
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 Richmond?
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 Richmond?
Richmond upon Thames Council covers planning and Building Control. Much of TW9 and TW10 is conservation area, and listed buildings are common. Internal renovation normally needs no planning permission, but in a listed building internal alterations can need listed building consent in their own right.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Richmond?
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 Richmond do you cover?
Richmond (TW9 and TW10), Twickenham, Chiswick, Kingston upon Thames, and the rest of West London.
