Builders and Decorators in Fulham
A London construction company based in Wimbledon SW19, with clients across Fulham.
FMB member · £5 million public liability insurance
Fulham's long Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built for families, and today they grow with them: a loft for a new bedroom, a side return that turns a narrow galley into a wide, light kitchen, a refurbishment that makes an older house feel new.
We build lofts, extensions and refurbishments across SW6, from Parsons Green to Sands End. One DSB8 Team, with Construction and Decoration working as one, takes your project from the first survey to the final coat.

Questions Fulham homeowners ask
Can I convert the loft of my Fulham terrace?
Usually, yes. A rear dormer is the most popular choice on a terrace, and many fall under permitted development, up to 40 cubic metres of extra roof space. Homes in conservation areas or under an Article 4 Direction may need planning permission.
​
Can I build a side return extension?
Yes, it's one of the best ways to open up a Fulham terrace. Many need planning permission, especially in conservation areas, so your architect confirms the route and we build to the approved plans.
​
Can I build a basement in Fulham?
Basements across Hammersmith and Fulham need planning permission: a borough-wide Article 4 Direction has applied since 2018. We focus on lofts, extensions and refurbishments, and we're happy to talk through the options at the survey.
​
Is my house in a conservation area?
Possibly: Hammersmith and Fulham has 44 conservation areas covering almost half the borough. You can check the council's map, and we confirm it at the survey.
​
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Usually, for a loft or side return on a terrace, because the steels often sit in the shared wall. Your neighbours receive notice before the work, and we plan it into the programme.
​
How long does a loft or extension take?
A typical loft takes about three months on site and an extension several months, after design and approvals. Your quote includes a programme with the key stages.
​
Can you refurbish and decorate the whole house?
Yes. One DSB8 Team handles the build and the decoration, so you have one company and one point of contact from start to finish.
