Construction & renovation in Richmond

Your local builder in Richmond

We work across Richmond from our base in Harefield, a short run down through West London that keeps a full team and our own joiners close at hand. Richmond is a borough of period homes under heavy protection, so most of what we do here sits inside a conservation area or alongside a listed building. We handle the planning and consent side with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames ourselves, from loft conversions on Victorian villas to side-return extensions on the terraces of East Sheen and Mortlake.

Much of our work in Richmond is loft conversions, landscaping and house extensions, and each one is shaped by where it sits. A Georgian townhouse near the Green carries different obligations from an Edwardian house in Twickenham, and the council's flood and conservation regime sets the limits near the river. We survey the house, the ground and the planning context first, then build to suit the home rather than to a template.

Building in Richmond

We tailor every project to the homes, ground and planning context of Richmond — here's what that means in practice.

The homes we work on here

  • Georgian townhouses on Richmond Hill and around Richmond Green, many of them Grade II or Grade II* listed and among London's finest period stock.
  • Victorian villas and terraces across East Sheen, Kew and Mortlake, with the suspended timber floors, sash windows and slate roofs of the period.
  • Edwardian houses through Twickenham and the wider borough, solidly built but rarely detailed for modern damp control.
  • Below-ground cellars and vaults that were never designed to stay dry against a rising winter water table.

What Richmond homeowners ask us to solve

  • Loft conversions and rear extensions on period homes, kept sympathetic to the original roofline and street.
  • Side-return extensions on Victorian terraces, opening up dark back rooms without losing the garden.
  • Damp and water ingress in Georgian and Victorian cellars, where Thames proximity lifts the water table each winter.
  • Listed-building and conservation consent, which in one of the UK's densest conservation-area boroughs governs almost every change.
Why Hangard

Why Richmond homeowners choose us

What sets us apart in Richmond isn't a sales pitch — it's knowing the homes, the ground and the planning here, and building accordingly.

Built for a consent-led borough

Richmond holds around seventy conservation areas and a high density of listed buildings, so we manage listed-building and conservation consent with the council as a routine part of the job rather than an afterthought.

Cellars that stay dry near the Thames

We tank and waterproof Georgian and Victorian cellars to hold back the rising winter water table that comes with sitting close to the tidal Thames.

Ground read before we build

We account for the mix beneath the borough, alluvium and river gravels near the water against London Clay on Richmond Hill, so foundations suit subsidence and heave risk where the house actually stands.

Flood-aware detailing by the river

For homes in Kew and riverside Richmond we build to the council's flood-risk requirements, using resilient detailing that respects what can be done near the Crane, the Beverley Brook and the Thames.
