Your Paddington builder.
Architect-led. One contract.
Paddington — W2 — north of Hyde Park with Italianate stucco terraces and the garden squares of Sussex, Connaught and Hyde Park. Westminster Council's conservation policy for W2 is well-mapped, and a well-designed mansard typically clears planning on the first submission.
Four services. One team. One number.
Paddington projects: mansards on stucco terraces, conservation area planning, full interior refurbishments on large townhouses, bespoke joinery, and lateral conversions of upper-floor flats into single-family homes.
Loft conversions
House extensions
Renovations
New builds
W2 stucco terraces and garden squares — Westminster mansards.
Westminster's W2 planning team handles Paddington, Bayswater and Maida Vale through the same conservation office — same approach, same design standards. Our Mayfair and Belgravia experience covers the Westminster standard.

What homeowners ask before booking a Paddington builder.
Can a Paddington stucco terrace take a mansard?
Yes — and Westminster Council's policy is well-documented for the W2 stucco grid. A well-detailed mansard with matching parapet treatment usually clears planning on first submission. Typical budget £180–£260k all-in.
What services does 2VP offer in Paddington?
Across W2 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 Paddington?
Yes. Our studio is at 20 Dawes Road in Fulham, which puts Paddington W2 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 Paddington 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 Westminster or just Paddington?
All of Westminster. Our delivery teams cover the entire borough as part of our wider west and south-west London catchment. Our subcontractor network is local to W2 and surrounding postcodes.
Can I see 2VP's recent Paddington projects?
Yes — our portfolio page shows project galleries with photography, architectural commentary and project budgets. Recent Paddington work includes: Connaught Square mansard (Conservation-grade mansard, 2024); Westbourne Terrace refurb (Whole-house refurbishment, 2023); Sussex Gardens restoration (Listed-building restoration, 2024).
