Measured Building Surveys · TW11 Teddington
Richmond upon Thames applies careful householder control across Teddington, with conservation interest around Teddington Lock and the setting of Bushy Park.
If your property sits elsewhere in the borough, the borough-wide page for measured building surveys in Richmond upon Thames covers the same service across every ward.
A measured building survey captures your Teddington property exactly — every wall, opening, level and boundary — as the accurate base for design and planning drawings. On TW11's older terraced and villa stock around Teddington, Bushy Park fringe, Fulwell, Hampton Wick fringe, walls are rarely square, so a laser-measured survey prevents costly errors before Richmond Council ever sees the application.

Across Teddington, Bushy Park fringe, Fulwell, Hampton Wick fringe in TW11, the dominant property is edwardian and victorian terraces and inter-war semis around teddington, with larger houses toward bushy park. That stock shapes what measured building survey looks like here: the right approach for a period terrace differs from a mansion-block flat or a new-build, and Richmond Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific Teddington property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the TW11 streetscape.

Listed, conservation or complex sites.
Yes. The Edwardian and Victorian terraces and inter-war semis around Teddington suit side-return, rear and loft extensions, much of it within Permitted Development outside the conservation areas, confirmed with a Lawful Development Certificate. We confirm the route and draw to Richmond's checklist.
Yes — conservation interest around Teddington Lock and the setting of Bushy Park mean those properties are assessed more carefully on roofline and visibility. We design sympathetically and handle the Richmond application where full planning is needed.
Usually yes outside the conservation areas — a rear dormer or hip-to-gable within the volume allowance, confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate. We check the head height and any local constraint, then draw the scheme for Building Control too.
With TW11 houses around £750,000-£1.3m and fast trains to Waterloo, a side-return, rear or loft extension adds family space worth comfortably above the build and drawing cost. Teddington is a settled, sought-after family market.
With Teddington property at around £400,000 for a flat and £750,000-£1.3m for a house, the professional drawing fee is a small fraction of the value the work adds to TW11's edwardian and victorian terraces and inter-war semis. Richmond Council charges its own statutory application fee on top (currently £548 for a householder planning application, £610 for a full application). We quote the drawings as one fixed price and the free site survey covers every TW11 address.
For a TW11 project across Teddington, Bushy Park fringe, Fulwell, Hampton Wick fringe, expect roughly 3–4 weeks from instruction to submission: week 1 the measured survey, weeks 2–3 the drawings and your revisions, then validation and the statutory determination by Richmond Council (8 weeks for a householder application). We carry the Teddington application through every officer query to the decision.
Teddington (TW11) sits primarily in Richmond upon Thames, so applications are decided by Richmond Council. Conservation areas within TW11 include Teddington Lock, Kingston Road / Broad Street fringe, where full planning and a Heritage Statement are required. We confirm the planning route for your exact address before quoting.
Almost always. Any structural work behind measured building survey in Teddington — new openings, steel beams, loft floors, foundations — needs Building Regulations approval covering structure (Part A), fire escape (Part B) and insulation (Part L), submitted to Richmond Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On TW11's typically terraced and semi-detached stock, a Party Wall notice to adjoining neighbours is normally required before the steelwork. We coordinate both as part of the Complete package.
In value terms, yes. With Teddington (TW11) property at around £400, 000 for a flat and £750, 000-£1.3m for a house, a well-designed extension or loft typically returns more than it costs in added floor area and sale value. The bigger risk is an unapproved or non-compliant scheme — which is why council-ready drawings and a clean Building Control sign-off matter on TW11 homes.

Every TW11 postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a measured building survey there. TW11 fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not measured building survey estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a measured building survey |
|---|---|---|---|
| TW11 | Teddington | Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces | No consent is required to survey a TW11 property in Teddington. The survey comes first so that whatever Richmond Council is later asked to decide rests on measured fact. |

| SW14 | Mortlake / East Sheen | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Adjoining district to TW11. Surveying needs no consent here either — Richmond upon Thames has no say in it, and the survey is the same record whichever side of the line the property sits. |
| TW1 | Twickenham | Georgian fragments, Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | Adjoining district to TW11. Surveying needs no consent here either — Richmond upon Thames has no say in it, and the survey is the same record whichever side of the line the property sits. |
| TW2 | Twickenham / Whitton | Georgian fragments, Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | Adjoining district to TW11. Surveying needs no consent here either — Richmond upon Thames has no say in it, and the survey is the same record whichever side of the line the property sits. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few TW11 streets, and each one changes what a measured building survey can achieve at that address.
