Question 1

What types of renovation are most common on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Surbiton (KT5/KT6)?

Accepted Answer

Loft conversions — particularly dormer loft conversions creating a full bedroom with en-suite — are the most popular structural projects on the large Edwardian semis in Surbiton. Rear kitchen extensions and full house renovations combining kitchen, bathroom and structural works are close behind. TB&D Construction covers KT5 and KT6 with itemised quotes within 48 hours and one project manager throughout.

Question 2

Does New Malden (KT3) have any planning restrictions that affect extensions?

Accepted Answer

New Malden is predominantly a standard suburban postcode without widespread Article 4 directions or conservation area restrictions. Most extensions fall under standard permitted development rules. TB&D Construction confirms the specific planning position on the site visit. Properties on the Kingston Hill ridge and nearer the river in KT1 are worth checking for conservation area constraints.

Question 3

Can you carry out a full house renovation including loft and extension on a Kingston property?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TB&D Construction handles the full scope: planning and Building Regulations, structural calcs, rear extension, loft conversion, new kitchen, new bathroom, replastering, flooring and decoration. For a typical three-bedroom Edwardian semi in KT1 or KT6, a full renovation including extension and loft typically takes 20–28 weeks and costs £200,000–£340,000 depending on scope. Fully itemised quotes within 48 hours of the site visit.

Question 4

What party-wall considerations arise on dormer loft conversions in Surbiton (KT5/KT6)?

Accepted Answer

The large Edwardian semis in KT5 and KT6 share a single party wall with the adjoining semi. A dormer loft conversion that places steelwork on or immediately adjacent to that shared wall triggers the Party Wall Act, requiring a two-month notice to the neighbour before work starts. TB&D Construction issues the party-wall notice and structural calculations at the same time, so the statutory period begins during planning and procurement and does not delay the build programme.

Question 5

What project types does TB&D Construction deliver across the Royal Borough of Kingston?

Accepted Answer

Kingston's housing ranges from large Edwardian semis and detached houses in Surbiton (KT5/KT6) and Kingston Hill (KT2) to Victorian terrace streets in Kingston town centre (KT1) and interwar semis in New Malden (KT3) and Tolworth (KT5).
