Building, Renovation & Bespoke Home Improvements
St Margarets is one of the most recognisable parts of Twickenham: a Victorian and Edwardian estate laid out from the 1850s, with tall terraces and semis between the river and the railway, close to Richmond Park and the Thames.
Torwood Interiors has worked on houses in St Margarets and Teddington, and plans extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments across Richmond, Twickenham and the TW1 and TW9 areas.
Our Building & Renovation Services
Whether you need more space, want to modernise your home or need specialist maintenance work, Torwood Interiors provides a range of residential building services across Richmond & St Margarets.
Property Refurbishment Richmond & St Margarets
Many period houses here still have their original floor plans, sash windows, fireplaces and cornices. Refurbishing them well means knowing what can be changed and what should be restored.
We carry out full renovations, restore original features, upgrade services and rebuild kitchens and bathrooms to a high standard.
House Extensions Richmond & St Margarets
Rear and side-return extensions are the usual choice on St Margarets and Richmond terraces, where a long, thin ground floor can be opened up to the garden.
Loft Conversions Richmond & St Margarets
Rear dormers and hip-to-gable loft conversions are common on period houses here, though what is allowed depends on the street and conservation area.
Rendering Richmond & St Margarets
We renovate period houses with care, keeping original character while updating wiring, plumbing, insulation and finishes.

Creating Homes That Work for You

Serving Homeowners Across Richmond & St Margarets
Much of Richmond and St Margarets is within conservation areas, and Richmond upon Thames Council has detailed guidance on extensions, so planning is a key part of any project here.

House Extensions Richmond & St Margarets
Make More Space Without Moving
Gardens in St Margarets and Richmond are valued, so extensions are usually designed to add space without swallowing the garden. We show the options with simple sketches before pricing.
Where houses are near the river, we also look at drainage and ground conditions at the design stage.
- Open-plan kitchens
- Dining areas
- Family rooms
- Home offices
- Additional bedrooms
- Larger living areas
- Better connections to the garden
Planning applications here go to Richmond upon Thames Council, which pays close attention to how an extension looks from the street and from neighbouring gardens. We help prepare drawings that fit the local guidance.
Party wall agreements are needed on most terraced and semi-detached homes, and we help arrange them early.
Loft Conversions Richmond & St Margarets
Turn Unused Space Into Something Valuable
Loft conversions on period houses are often limited to the rear roof slope, with the front kept unchanged. We check the roof structure and head height before recommending a design, and design the new room so it blends with the original house.
