Extensions & Conversions
Extensions and conversions tailored to your home. Whether it’s a single-storey rear extension, full-width ground-floor remodel, loft dormer or garage-to-habitable conversion, Pearwood combines structural expertise with traditional and modern joinery. We routinely install RSJs, timber frames and roof alterations and coordinate underpinning or party‑wall agreements where needed. Our approach starts with a measured survey and feasibility assessment so the scope, planning and budgets are clear from day one.
Respect for the home is central. Working on Victorian and Edwardian houses in Surbiton and Kingston requires sensitivity to period features — sash windows, cornices and staircases — so we protect and, where appropriate, replicate original fabric. As a full-service contractor we programme scaffolding, groundworks, plumbing, electrics and decorations, delivering finished rooms with integrated joinery such as bespoke staircases, fitted cupboards, kitchen carcasses and media walls.
— Our Process
How It Works
Survey & Feasibility
Site visit, measured survey and feasibility review including planning and party-wall constraints; we establish structural requirements and prepare a clear brief.
Design & Approvals
Produce drawings and specifications, coordinate structural engineer calculations and submit plans to planning/building control as required.
Build, Fit‑Out & Handover
Manage site set-up, structural works (RSJs, underpinning or timber frames), finishes and bespoke joinery, with staged inspections and final snagging before handover.

Why Choose Extensions & Conversions?
Decades of craft and site experience
Thirty years on homes across Surbiton, Kingston and central London means we understand Victorian terraces, suburban semis and newer builds — and how to marry modern standards with traditional craft.
Single point of coordination
We act as design-and-build lead, liaising with structural engineers, surveyors and building control so you have one responsible team delivering every trade to schedule.
Bespoke joinery built in
From stair remodelling and built-in wardrobes to fitted kitchens and media walls, our joinery is designed alongside the structure for a cohesive, durable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard single‑storey rear extension on a suburban house usually takes 8–12 weeks on site after approvals, depending on excavation, foundations and ground conditions. Early phases — foundations and structural steelwork — can extend the programme, but we provide a staged timeline at contract that includes key inspections and lead times for bespoke joinery.
