Your Barnes builder.
Architect-led. One contract.
Barnes — SW13 — village atmosphere between Hammersmith and Mortlake. Edwardian and inter-war housing with consistently high property values and a family-buyer market that makes loft conversions and extensions a strong investment.
Four services. One team. One number.
Barnes projects: L-shape dormers on Edwardian terraces, hip-to-gable conversions on inter-war semis, side-return and wraparound extensions, whole-house refurbishments, and conservation area submissions in Barnes Green and Castelnau.
Loft conversions
House extensions
Renovations
New builds
Village character within Zone 3 — Edwardian housing with strong family demand.
LB Richmond has clear guidance on conservation-area dormers — slate or clay tile, recessed face, timber sash windows. Our Kew and Richmond experience means we design to this standard from the outset. The studio is 25 minutes from Barnes.

What homeowners ask before booking a Barnes builder.
Is Richmond Council strict on Barnes loft applications?
Yes, but predictable — Richmond has clear conservation-area guidance. Slate or clay tile, recessed dormer face, timber sash windows are the standard requirements. White UPVC and render are almost always refused. A well-designed submission typically clears in 8–10 weeks.
What services does 2VP offer in Barnes?
Across SW13 we deliver loft conversions, house extensions (side-return, rear, wraparound, double-storey, basement), whole-house renovations and period restorations, and new builds where the site allows. Every project gets RIBA-led design by Nicholas Elias, JCT contracting, and a 10-year HomePro warranty.
Does 2VP work in Barnes?
Yes. Our studio is at 20 Dawes Road in Fulham, which puts Barnes SW13 inside our core west and south-west London territory — close enough that the project manager is on site rather than on the phone. Delivered projects with photographs are at https://2vp.uk/projects.
What's 2VP's response time for Barnes enquiries?
Same-day site visits, written feasibility within three working days. You can also use the free 60-second cost calculator on this page for an instant tailored estimate — no callback required.
Does 2VP cover all of Richmond upon Thames or just Barnes?
All of Richmond upon Thames. Our delivery teams cover the entire borough as part of our wider west and south-west London catchment. Our subcontractor network is local to SW13 and surrounding postcodes.
Can I see 2VP's recent Barnes projects?
Yes — our portfolio page shows project galleries with photography, architectural commentary and project budgets. Recent Barnes work includes: Castelnau dormer (L-shape rear dormer, 2024); Church Road extension (Wraparound + interior, 2023); White Hart Lane refurb (Whole-house refurbishment, 2024).
