Property refurbishment in Warlingham.
Kitchen extensions, bathroom renovations, loft conversions and full house refurbishments — South London builders working across the Surrey border.
LMDEC is based in South Croydon, fifteen minutes from Warlingham. Two decades of building experience across South London means we know the building stock — 1930s detached and semi-detached homes, Victorian and Edwardian properties around Westhall Road and Hamsey Green, modern family homes on newer developments. Tandridge District Council planning rules covered.
— What we do in Warlingham
The renovations we deliver most often.
Kitchen extensions with garden views
Warlingham’s larger gardens and detached plots make rear extensions and wrap-arounds particularly effective — open-plan kitchen-diners with bi-fold or sliding doors opening to the garden. Structural steel where needed, full Building Regs insulation, roof lanterns or flat roofs, depending on planning. See extensions and loft conversion services for the full scope.
Loft conversions
Dormer or hip-to-gable conversions for the 1930s and post-war semis are common across Warlingham — adding a bedroom suite or two with an ensuite. Permitted development applies in most cases, with Tandridge planning checks where needed. See loft conversion services for pricing and process.
Bathroom renovations
Family bathrooms, en-suites, and luxury wet rooms — full installations with proper waterproofing, underfloor heating, and premium fittings. Most Warlingham properties have the space for separate shower and bath layouts. See bathroom renovation projects for examples and pricing.
Full house refurbishments
Complete refurbishments of three and four-bedroom Warlingham family homes — kitchen and bathrooms, rewire, replaster, flooring, structural work where the layout needs reconfiguring. Typical project takes 16-24 weeks. See property refurbishment services for tiered pricing.

— Planning in Warlingham
Planning permission and Tandridge Council.
Warlingham falls under the Tandridge District Council. Most single-storey rear extensions (up to 4m for terraced, 6m for detached), loft conversions under 40m³, and side returns within certain limits fall under permitted development — meaning Lawful Development Certificate and Building Regs only, not full planning permission.
Important exceptions: properties bordering the Green Belt (parts of Warlingham), conservation areas, listed buildings, and any double-storey extension. We check planning constraints during the initial site visit, before you commit to anything.

— Common questions
Frequently asked.
Do you serve Warlingham and CR6 postcodes?
Yes. We’re based in South Croydon (CR2), about fifteen minutes from Warlingham. We work regularly across CR6, CR3 and CR8 postcodes alongside our core South London areas.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Warlingham?
Most single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development through Tandridge District Council. Green Belt areas and conservation zones (Hamsey Green and parts of Warlingham village) have stricter rules. We check your specific property at the initial site visit.
How long does a kitchen extension take?
Typically 12-20 weeks on site for a single-storey rear extension with a new kitchen. Add 4-12 weeks before that for design, planning approval, and Building Regs drawings depending on whether permitted development applies.
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 clients arrange short rentals or stay with family. We’ll be honest at the quote stage about what’s realistic.
Do you handle planning applications?
We work with trusted architects and planning consultants and can manage the entire process — Tandridge planning applications, Building Regs drawings, structural engineer calculations, party wall notices. Or we work alongside your own team if you’ve already engaged an architect.
We work across South London and Surrey — every postcode has different planning rules, building stock, and architectural character.
