Builders in Fulham

Much of Fulham is made up of period terraces and semis, often narrow at the front with a long plan running back to the garden. These houses reward thoughtful extension and refurbishment, but they ask for it to be done properly. Original brickwork, lath and plaster, single-skin rear additions and dated services all have a way of complicating a job once the walls are open, and a good contractor plans for that rather than discovering it halfway through.

The most popular changes here are familiar ones. A rear or side return kitchen extension to create a single open living space, a loft conversion to add a bedroom and bathroom under the roof, and a full refurbishment that brings heating, wiring, insulation and finishes back up to a modern standard. We approach each so the new work feels like part of the house, in keeping with its proportions and the character of the street.

Fulham's terraces suit three kinds of project especially well. A kitchen extension into the side return, across the back, or both as one wraparound room: see rear extensions in London, rear extension or side return, wraparound extension ideas and our kitchen extension cost guide. A loft conversion, most often a rear dormer, to add a bedroom and bathroom: see Victorian loft conversions and loft conversions with an en suite. And a full refurbishment that renews the heating, wiring and finishes: see our Victorian terrace renovation cost guide.

You can try a side return, a rear extension or a loft first on a London home like yours in our free extension planner.

We run Fulham projects as a single design and build service, from the first concept and layout through planning and engineering drawings to construction and the final finishes. One team carries the project the whole way, which keeps decisions clear, avoids the gaps that open up between separate designers and builders, and gives you one point of accountability throughout.

We are a high-end contractor and we treat the detail accordingly, from how a kitchen extension meets the garden to bespoke joinery and the quality of the second fix. MVV carries public liability cover of up to ten million pounds, and the office is in Chiswick, a short drive from Fulham, so the team stays close to the work.

Ellerby Street in SW6 is one of our crown jewels and a good measure of what we do locally. It was a comprehensive interior design and build of a 450 square metre Victorian house, taken in a darker, more contemporary direction. The home includes a cinema room with a custom bar and backlit onyx stone, polished plaster and microcement finishes, and a one-of-a-kind blue moon marble dining table on century-old oak legs.

Nearby in SW10, our development of six residential flats at 306 Fulham Road shows the same standard at a different scale: bright, contemporary apartments with open-plan living, marble bathrooms and engineered oak floors, several opening onto private balconies above the Fulham rooftops.
