Your Kew builder.
Design and build. One contract.
Kew — TW9 — between Chiswick and Richmond, anchored by Kew Gardens. Generous Edwardian and inter-war housing, with a family-buyer market that drives consistent loft and extension demand. Richmond Council's conservation policy near the gardens is among the strictest in the borough.
Four services. One team. One number.
Kew projects: L-shape dormers on Edwardian terraces, hip-to-gable conversions on inter-war semis, side-return and wraparound extensions, whole-house refurbishments.

Kew Gardens catchment — strict conservation roofline and strong family demand.
LB Richmond's Kew conservation team is particularly protective near Kew Gardens. Our Barnes and Richmond experience covers the same conservation officer approach — slate, recessed faces, timber windows as standard.

What homeowners ask before booking a Kew builder.
How protective is Richmond Council around Kew's roofline?
Very — particularly on Article 4 streets near Kew Gardens, where conservation policy is among the strictest in the borough. Slate or clay tiles, recessed dormer faces and timber sashes are required. Well-designed submissions clear in 8–10 weeks.
What services does 2VP offer in Kew?
Across TW9 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 Kew?
Yes. Our studio is at 20 Dawes Road in Fulham, which puts Kew TW9 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 Kew 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 Kew?
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 TW9 and surrounding postcodes.
Can I see 2VP's recent Kew projects?
Yes — our portfolio page shows project galleries with photography, architectural commentary and project budgets. Recent Kew work includes: Sandycombe Road dormer (L-shape rear dormer, 2024); Cumberland Road extension (Side-return + interior, 2023); Forest Road refurb (Whole-house refurbishment, 2024).
