Home Renovation in Wandsworth

The streets between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons — the "toast rack" — are among the most extended in London, and for good reason: substantial late-Victorian terraces, four bedrooms or more, gardens deep enough to take a rear extension without losing the garden, and roofs with the pitch for a proper conversion. Around them are the Tonsley streets, the Victorian cottages of Earlsfield, and the riverside developments at Wandsworth Town.

Because so many neighbours have already extended, the questions here are rarely whether but how far and how well. Rear extension depth, roof form, rooflight placement and the party wall process are all well-trodden, which cuts both ways: precedent helps an application, and it also means a badly detailed extension sits next to three good ones for everyone to compare.

The projects we run most often here combine both moves in a single programme — extension, loft, new kitchen and a full services replacement — because doing them together costs less and disrupts once rather than three times. See home extensions, loft conversions and full home renovation.
