Listed Building Refurbishment in Putney.
Listed houses reward care and punish shortcuts. We have refurbished Grade I listed houses on the Regent's Park terraces and Grade II houses across central London, and the approach is the same each time: understand what is significant about the building, design interventions that are reversible and well detailed, and secure listed building consent before work starts.
In practice that means new kitchens and bathrooms that do not damage historic fabric, services run in existing voids, sash windows repaired rather than replaced, and plasterwork, joinery and floors restored by trades who work on listed buildings every week. Modern comfort and a historic interior are not in conflict if the detailing is right.
For a property in Putney we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the London Borough of Wandsworth at the first visit, explain exactly what is protected, and prepare the heritage statement, drawings and application. Conservation officers generally support schemes presented this way.

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.
