Property refurbishment in Wimbledon.
House renovation, period restorations, kitchen extensions, loft conversions and full house refurbishments across Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park, Southfields and surrounding SW19 / SW20 postcodes. Family-run in South London since 2014.
Property refurbishment in Wimbledon is one of our main markets, alongside house renovation across SW19 and SW20. Victorian and Edwardian villas around Wimbledon Village and the Common, 1930s semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park, family terraces in Southfields and Merton Park, modern apartments around Wimbledon station — we’ve worked with every type of property across SW19 and SW20. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed building consents — we know the constraints.
— What we do in Wimbledon
The renovations we deliver across Wimbledon.
Period restorations and Victorian refurbishments
Wimbledon Village and the streets around the Common are densely populated with Victorian and Edwardian villas — many with period plaster cornices, original mosaic floors, cast iron fireplaces, stained glass, and ornate joinery worth preserving. We restore rather than replace where it makes sense, and rebuild from scratch where it doesn’t. See full property refurbishment service.
Kitchen extensions with garden views
Wimbledon’s terraced houses typically have generous rear gardens — perfect for side-return and rear extensions that open onto landscaped outdoor space. Open-plan kitchen-diners with bi-fold or sliding doors, structural steel where needed, and roof lanterns where planning allows. See extensions and loft conversion services.
Loft conversions
Dormer, hip-to-gable and Mansard conversions across Wimbledon’s terraces and semis. Conservation areas (Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park, parts of Raynes Park) and Article 4 directions in many streets affect what’s permitted — we check before quoting. Full Building Regs compliance, sound insulation between floors, properly designed staircases. Read our Wimbledon loft conversion guide — it names every conservation area and Article 4 direction in SW19 and SW20 — or see loft conversion services.
Merton Park and the John Innes estate
Renovations in Merton Park come with their own rulebook. The John Innes estate — laid out from the 1870s as one of London’s first garden suburbs — is covered by two conservation areas and a stack of Article 4 directions layered on since 1986, protecting front boundaries, the famous holly hedges, windows, doors and roofs. A loft or extension here is entirely doable; it just needs to be designed for Merton Park from the start rather than adapted afterwards. We have the direction dates and what each one removes in our SW19 planning guide.
Luxury bathrooms and en-suites
Walk-in wet rooms, freestanding stone baths, marble tiling, underfloor heating, brushed brass fittings. Period bathrooms restored to spa quality, or modern minimalist installations in newer properties. Most Wimbledon properties have space for a separate shower and bath, plus en-suites with master bedrooms. See bathroom renovation gallery.
Full house refurbishments
Complete refurbishments of three, four and five-bedroom Wimbledon family homes — full rewire, replaster, new kitchen and bathrooms, structural reconfiguration, bespoke joinery, period features restored, modern services integrated invisibly. Typical project 16-28 weeks. See property refurbishment service.

— Planning in Wimbledon
Conservation areas, Article 4, Merton Council.
Wimbledon falls under the London Borough of Merton. Conservation areas cover a large part of SW19 and SW20 — Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon West (assessed by the council in thirty-three sub-areas), Wimbledon North, Copse Hill, and the two John Innes areas in Merton Park and Wilton Crescent. Inside any of them, a loft dormer needs full planning permission — permitted development for roof enlargements does not apply on conservation area land at all.
Article 4 directions go further and remove permitted development for the smaller works too — windows and doors, front boundaries, hard surfacing, roof coverings. In Merton the ones that bite for homeowners are on the John Innes estates in Merton Park, with directions dating from 1986 through to 2026. There is also a borough-wide direction on converting a house into a small HMO — relevant only if you are a landlord. Which conservation area you are in, and which sub-area, decides what your design has to look like; the council publishes a design guide for each, and we read it before your architect draws anything.
Listed buildings are common around Wimbledon Village and the Common — Grade II and Grade II* listings require Listed Building Consent for any alterations affecting character. We work with conservation officers and heritage consultants from the start of any listed-building project.
We check planning constraints during the initial site visit — saves clients from designing something that won’t get approved.

— Common questions
Frequently asked.
Do you work across all of Wimbledon?
Yes. We work regularly across SW19 and SW20 — Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park, South Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Merton Park, Wimbledon Chase, Colliers Wood, and surrounding postcodes. Plus nearby Southfields (SW18) and Putney (SW15).
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Wimbledon?
Wimbledon Village and parts of South Wimbledon have extensive conservation areas and Article 4 directions, which remove many permitted development rights. Most extensions, loft conversions and external alterations in these areas require full planning permission through London Borough of Merton. Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park and Southfields have more flexibility. We check your specific property’s planning history at the initial site visit.
Do you work on listed buildings in Wimbledon?
Yes. We’ve worked on Grade II listed properties across South London — these require Listed Building Consent in addition to (or instead of) planning permission. We work with heritage consultants from the start of any listed-building project to ensure compliance and protect what matters.
How long does a Wimbledon kitchen extension take?
Typically 12-20 weeks on site for a single-storey rear extension with a new kitchen. Add 12-24 weeks before that for design, planning permission, and Building Regs drawings — longer in conservation areas because Merton Council typically requires more detailed submissions.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
For loft conversions and most rear extensions, yes — we seal off the work area, manage dust, keep services running. Full house refurbishments usually mean kitchen and bathrooms are out of action for weeks — many Wimbledon clients arrange short rentals or stay with family. We’ll be honest at the quote stage about what’s realistic.
