Kitchen Renovations South London: From Drab to “Damn, That’s Mine” LMDEC Ltd Stories
Ever walked into a mate’s kitchen and thought, How do they pull off hosting without it feeling like a building site? That’s the magic we’re chasing at LMDEC Ltd, your Wandsworth-based crew turning South London semis and flats into spaces that actually work—for brekkie rushes, late-night bakes, or that rare dinner party where everything (miraculously) goes to plan.We’re not the flash-in-the-pan types flogging flatpacks. With 10+ years under our belts, we specialize in full kitchen overhauls across Wandsworth, Clapham, Balham, Wimbledon, Dulwich, Croydon, Bromley, and Kensington. Think ripping out the ’70s horrors (yes, including that stubborn limescale beast of a tap), stress-testing every pipe and socket, then crafting something bespoke with our tight-knit team—joiners like Dave (15 years in, still hates wonky shelves) and plumbers who could fix a leak blindfolded.Our No-Surprises Process: What Happens When We Take Over Your Kitchen
- The Deep Dive (Day 1): We show up, masks on, tea in hand. Strip the lot—cabinets, counters, the works. Then the real work: probing for damp, faulty wiring, or subsidence gremlins. Everything flagged upfront, no “surprise” invoices later.
- Design That Fits You (Week 1): Sketch it out together—Shaker for that Dulwich village vibe? Handleless gloss for a sleek Balham new-build? We mock it up in 3D, tweak till it’s spot-on, and quote the lot. No vague ballparks.
- Build Mode (2-4 Weeks): Our core lads (averaging 12 years with us) handle the heavy lifting. Custom joinery, gas-safe plumbing, sparkly electrics—all in-house. Dust sheets down, neighbor-friendly noise, and daily updates so you’re not in the dark.
- Handover High-Five (On Time, Every Time): Final clean, user manual walkthrough, and a 2-year warranty. Insured from start to finish, because life’s too short for “oops” moments.
We’ve dodged enough disasters to know: 80% of reno regrets stem from rushed jobs. Not ours—every project’s priced transparently, finished bang on schedule, and built to last (or we’ll fix it free).

LBefore & Afters: Kitchens We’ve Actually Made Better (And The Stories Behind Them)No stock photos here—just the gritty, glorious results from real South London homes. Swipe the gallery for the full reveal:
- Clapham Terrace Revival: A ’30s two-up-two-down with a galley so narrow you couldn’t swing a cat. We carved out a walk-in larder, added a quartz island for casual suppers, and wrapped it in soft sage shaker—all in 16 days. Client’s words: “Finally, space to breathe and cook.”
- Wimbledon New-Build Wow: Picture a blank-canvas extension begging for drama. We dropped in a 4m waterfall island (hidden wine fridge included—shh), matte black taps, and underfloor heating. Now it’s the heart of Wimbledon Village dinner dos, without the bank-breaking bill.
- Brixton Flat Hack: Tiny? We thrive on it. Borrowed 30cm from the hall for an American fridge, squeezed in a breakfast bar, and finished with metro tiles that bounce light like mad. From “IKEA panic” to “pro chef envy” in under three weeks.
From bespoke kitchen extensions in Croydon to full refits in Bromley, these aren’t show homes—they’re lived-in legends. (Pro tip: That Kensington job? The client’s still raving about the butler sink that “feels like a hug.”)Why South London Chooses LMDEC for Kitchen Renovations (And You Should Too)
- Local as It Gets: Based in Wandsworth, we know the quirks—Clapham’s wonky pipes, Balham’s basement floods, Dulwich’s period quirks. No commuting cowboys.
- Price It Right, First Time: Full breakdowns, no VAT surprises. Starts from £15k for a compact revamp; luxury extensions hit £40k+ (but always worth it—boosts your home’s value by 10-15%).
- Green(ish) on Purpose: We spec low-VOC paints, recycled quartz, and energy-star appliances. Your Croydon reno won’t guzzle power like an old clunker.
- Peace of Mind Perks: Public liability up to £5m, CSCS-certified team, and a “love it or we tweak it” guarantee.
