Construction Services in Wandsworth

Wandsworth has consistently been one of London's most active boroughs for residential construction. Known for its pro-development planning stance, Wandsworth Council processes a high volume of applications for rear extensions, loft conversions, and full property renovations each year. The borough's housing mix — from Victorian terraces in Battersea and Tooting to larger Edwardian and inter-war properties in Putney and Southfields — means there is significant demand for high-quality construction services.

Whether you are extending a compact Balham terrace or undertaking a full refurbishment of a period home in Wandsworth Common, our team brings deep local knowledge and a proven track record of delivery in SW London. We have completed over 30 projects across Wandsworth's diverse postcodes, and our understanding of the borough's planning environment gives every project the best possible chance of a smooth, efficient delivery.

Wandsworth Housing Stock

Victorian terraces in Battersea and Tooting, Edwardian semis in Putney and Southfields, 1930s housing in Earlsfield, modern riverside apartments in Nine Elms and Battersea, and inter-war properties across the borough.

Planning in Wandsworth

Wandsworth Council's planning department is known as one of London's more efficient and developer-friendly authorities. Many rear extensions up to 6 metres (detached) or 3–4 metres (semi-detached/terraced) fall under permitted development rights, meaning no formal planning application is required. However, properties within the Wandsworth Common, Putney Embankment, or Old Battersea conservation areas will require full planning permission for most external alterations. Our team handles the entire planning process — from pre-application advice to full submissions — and we have a 95% first-time approval rate across Wandsworth projects.

FAQs — Construction in Wandsworth

How much does a rear extension cost in Wandsworth?

A single-storey rear extension in Wandsworth typically costs between £40,000 and £80,000 depending on size, specification, and structural requirements. Double-storey extensions range from £70,000 to £150,000. We provide detailed, itemised quotes following a free site visit.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Wandsworth?

Most loft conversions in Wandsworth fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, provided they meet size and design criteria. However, properties in conservation areas such as Wandsworth Common or Old Battersea may require a full planning application. We assess this during our free site visit.

How long does a typical extension take in Wandsworth?

A standard single-storey rear extension takes 10–14 weeks from breaking ground to completion. We provide a detailed programme at contract stage, with weekly progress updates throughout.

Can I convert my basement in Wandsworth?

Yes. Wandsworth's geology — predominantly gravel and sand — makes basement conversions more straightforward than in clay-heavy boroughs. Most basement projects in Wandsworth do not require the same level of structural monitoring required in areas like Camden. We assess feasibility and provide a full quote after surveying your property.

Do you handle party wall agreements in Wandsworth?

Yes. We manage the full party wall process — serving notices on adjoining owners, coordinating party wall surveyors, and ensuring the award is in place before construction begins. Typically 4–6 weeks from serving notices.
