The housing stock in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is overwhelmingly Victorian terrace, with the tightly packed grid streets of Earlsfield and Tooting, the larger houses around Wandsworth Common and Balham, and the well-known Tonsleys near Wandsworth Town. Riverside Battersea adds a substantial amount of newer apartment stock.

Projects that suit Wandsworth homes

This is side return and wrap-around country. The terraced grid streets have consistent layouts, so the same well-proven approach works repeatedly: fill in the side return, open the ground floor, and take the loft with an L-shaped dormer. On the larger houses near the Commons, full refurbishments and double storey rear extensions are more common.

Planning and building control in Wandsworth

Wandsworth Council handles planning and building control. The borough contains a large number of conservation areas covering much of the Victorian stock, and several carry Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights. The consistent terrace layouts do mean there is usually good local precedent for what has been approved nearby, which helps an application. We check the position for your address first.

Planning rules change and vary street by street. Nothing here is a substitute for checking your specific address with Wandsworth Council, which is exactly what we do before pricing any job.

Questions

Working in Wandsworth

Do you cover all of Wandsworth?

Yes. We work throughout Wandsworth and the surrounding area, including Wandsworth Town, Earlsfield, Balham, Tooting, Southfields, Battersea and Putney. If your address is just outside, it is still worth asking.

Which council handles planning in Wandsworth?

Wandsworth Council is the local planning authority for Wandsworth, and building control inspections are arranged through them or an approved inspector. We handle the coordination either way.

What does a site visit involve?

We come out, look at the property, talk through what you want to achieve and flag anything that will affect cost or feasibility. You then get a written, itemised estimate. There is no charge and no obligation.

How soon can you start in Wandsworth?

Lead times vary with the season and the size of the job. Call 020 3478 9174 and we will give you an honest answer on current availability rather than a booking date we cannot keep.
