Construction Services in Kingston upon Thames

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is one of South West London's most desirable residential areas — a borough centred on the historic market town of Kingston with its Thames-side setting, complemented by the suburban communities of Surbiton, New Malden, and Tolworth. Property values are high, and homeowners invest accordingly in construction projects that enhance both living space and long-term value.

Kingston's housing stock is predominantly inter-war, with large numbers of 1920s and 1930s semi-detached and detached houses that are ideal candidates for extension. The borough also has Victorian and Edwardian housing in Kingston town centre and Surbiton, plus significant post-war development in Chessington and Tolworth.

We provide construction services across the full Royal Borough — from design-led extensions in Surbiton to practical loft conversions in New Malden.

Planning in Kingston upon Thames

Kingston Council applies careful design scrutiny, particularly in the borough's conservation areas including Kingston Town Centre, Surbiton Hill, and parts of Old Malden. Standard permitted development rights apply in most residential areas.

The borough has Green Belt to the south (Chessington, Hook), restricting development in these areas. Flood risk from the Thames affects some riverside properties in Kingston and Hampton Wick, requiring Flood Risk Assessments for certain developments.
