Builders and Decorators in Claygate
A construction company based in Wimbledon SW19, a short drive from Claygate.
FMB member · £5 million public liability insurance
Claygate keeps its village feel: a green heart, Edwardian and inter-war homes, generous detached houses and gardens that run back towards the common. Two conservation areas, Claygate Village and the Foley Estate, protect its oldest streets.
​
We bring the same care we give our London projects to homes across Claygate and Esher KT10: extensions that open a house to its garden, lofts, whole-house refurbishments and the decoration that finishes them. One DSB8 Team, with Construction and Decoration working as one, takes your project from the first survey to the final coat.

Questions Claygate homeowners ask
Do you work in Claygate?
Yes. Claygate and Esher are among our newest areas, a short drive from our Wimbledon base, and our recent work nearby includes a house in Surbiton.
​
Is my home in a Claygate conservation area?
It might be: Claygate has two, Claygate Village and the Foley Estate, both under Elmbridge Borough Council. You can check the council's map, and we confirm it at the survey.
​
Can I extend my house in Claygate?
Usually, yes. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, while larger, side or two-storey extensions and homes in conservation areas need planning permission from Elmbridge. Your architect confirms the route and we build to the approved plans.
​
Can you convert my loft?
Yes. On detached and semi-detached homes a hip-to-gable or rear dormer often creates a full extra floor, and we look at your roof at the survey.
​
Can you refurbish a whole house?
Yes. We plan whole-house refurbishments room by room, from structural work and new kitchens and bathrooms to the final decoration, with one team from start to finish.
​
Do you build garden walls, fences and front entrances?
Yes. Garden walls, fences, gates, paths and front entrances, designed to suit the house and the street.
​
How long does an extension take?
Design and approvals come first; the build itself usually takes several months, depending on size. Your quote includes a programme with the key stages.
