House Refurbishment in Putney.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Putney it usually means stripping back to the structure, rewiring and replumbing, replanning the ground floor around a new kitchen, fitting new bathrooms and then bringing back the detail that gives the house its character: cornices, joinery, fireplaces and sash windows.
We run the whole job. Our architects draw the new layout, our engineers design any structural openings, and our own site team builds it, so there is one programme, one quotation and one person to call. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed and supplied by us rather than by a subcontractor.
Every refurbishment starts with a site visit and a measured survey. From that we produce drawings, an itemised specification and a programme, so you know exactly what is being done before anyone lifts a tool.

Putney: the houses and the planning rules.
Putney rises from the river to the Heath through streets of Victorian and Edwardian houses, with mansion flats near the bridge, larger houses on West Hill and around the Heath, and the Dover House garden estate to the west. It is a family district with good schools, and the houses are extended accordingly.
Side-return and rear extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments are the everyday projects, and on the larger West Hill and Heath-side plots we see double-storey extensions and basements. Wandsworth's guidance is clear and the council decides quickly when the drawings are complete.
The Putney Embankment, West Putney and Dover House Estate conservation areas cover parts of the district; many streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Wandsworth
Wandsworth decides applications and publishes a house extension design guide; outside the conservation areas permitted development covers many rear extensions and lofts.
Basements
The borough's basement policy requires a construction method statement and limits new basements to a single storey under part of the garden.
Dover House estate
The garden estate has Article 4 directions and guidance on windows, roofs and extensions.

House Refurbishment in Putney: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Putney?
A whole house with structural changes, a new kitchen and two or three bathrooms usually takes four to six months on site. We give a written programme with the quotation and report progress weekly.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
For a partial refurbishment, usually yes: we keep a bathroom and a basic kitchen working and seal off the rooms we are in. For a full strip-out it is faster, cleaner and cheaper to move out for the duration.
Which parts of Putney do you cover?
All of Putney and SW15, including West Hill, Putney Hill, Lower Richmond Road, Deodar Road, Howards Lane, Ravenna Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
