Your Earls Court builder.
Design and build. One contract.
Earls Court — SW5 — shares the same council as Chelsea and Kensington, with the stucco terrace grid between Old Brompton Road and Cromwell Road under Earls Court Conservation Area. Nicholas Elias RIBA leads our SW5 design submissions.
Four services. One team. One number.
Earls Court projects: rear dormers on Italianate stucco terraces, mansards on taller four- and five-storey houses, conservation-area planning, and interior refurbishments on single-family homes returning from flat conversion.

What homeowners ask before booking an Earls Court builder.
Does RBKC allow rear dormers on Earls Court stucco terraces?
Yes — and because the front facade is protected, RBKC concentrates scrutiny on the rear. A well-proportioned recessed dormer with matching slate and lead flashing usually clears Earls Court Conservation Area applications on first submission. Front rooflights are limited to discreet conservation rooflights flush with the slope.
What services does 2VP offer in Earls Court?
Across SW5 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 12-month workmanship warranty on second-fix fittings — with an optional 10-year HomePro guarantee on request, arranged with HomePro and paid directly to them at 2.5% of the contract value.
Does 2VP work in Earls Court?
Yes. Our studio is at 20 Dawes Road in Fulham, which puts Earls Court SW5 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 Earls Court 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 Kensington & Chelsea or just Earls Court?
All of Kensington & Chelsea. Our delivery teams cover the entire borough as part of our wider west and south-west London catchment. Our subcontractor network is local to SW5 and surrounding postcodes.
Can I see 2VP's recent Earls Court projects?
Yes — our portfolio page shows project galleries with photography, architectural commentary and project budgets. Recent Earls Court work includes: Nevern Square mansard (Conservation-grade mansard, 2024); Earls Court Square refurb (Whole-house refurbishment, 2023); Trebovir Road dormer (Rear dormer + en-suite, 2024).
