TW1 & TW2
Builders in Twickenham
Twickenham is a short drive from our Hampton office, and a large share of our work sits in TW1 and TW2 — mostly extensions and loft conversions on Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
Twickenham terraces follow a pattern we know well: a narrow side return that wastes usable width, a dark middle room, and a roof space large enough to take a proper bedroom and bathroom. Most projects here are about correcting those three things.
Terraced work brings neighbours into the equation from day one. Party wall agreements, shared access, scaffold positioning and skip permits all need arranging before the first delivery, not once the crew has arrived.
Match days and event traffic around the stadium affect deliveries and parking across TW1 and TW2. We plan material drops around them so a lorry is not sitting in traffic on a day the roads are closed.

Before you start
Planning in Twickenham
Twickenham falls under the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames for planning, building control and party wall matters.
Several conservation areas cover parts of Twickenham, including areas around the riverside, Twickenham Green and Strawberry Hill. Within them, permitted development rights are frequently restricted and materials and window details are assessed more closely.
Terraced extensions almost always involve the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Notices need serving on adjoining owners well in advance — normally two months for wall work — so this is factored into the programme from the outset.
General guidance only — planning rules change and depend on your specific address. We confirm the position for your property before any design work begins.

Common questions
Twickenham FAQs
Do you handle party wall agreements in Twickenham?
We coordinate the process and build the required notice periods into the programme. Party wall awards themselves are prepared by a surveyor, and we work alongside them so the schedule reflects reality rather than assuming instant sign-off.
Can I convert my Twickenham loft without planning permission?
Many loft conversions proceed under permitted development, subject to volume limits and height rules. If your property is in a conservation area those rights are commonly restricted, so we confirm the position for your address first.
How do you manage access on narrow terraced streets?
We arrange skip permits, scaffold licences and delivery timings ahead of the start date, and keep the working area tidy. On tight streets we schedule larger deliveries outside peak times where possible.
