About building work in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is one of London's most family-oriented boroughs, and its housing stock reflects that. Victorian and Edwardian semis and terraces are the dominant property type across SW18 (Wandsworth town), SW11 (Battersea and Clapham Junction area), SW15 (Putney), and SW12 (Balham). Most of these properties have rear gardens of reasonable size, making them well suited to single or double storey rear extensions. The combination of family demand, competitive property prices (relative to neighbouring Richmond and Fulham), and the presence of large gardens makes Wandsworth one of London's busiest markets for residential extensions.

Wandsworth Common sits at the premium end of the borough. Properties backing onto or near the Common command significant premiums, and extensions and refurbishments in this area tend to be at the higher specification end. The Wandsworth Common conservation area restricts permitted development for some properties in this area. Putney, particularly around the Thames and Putney Heath, is similarly planning-sensitive. Tooting and Balham offer more affordable entry points where builders are generally very competitive on price for straightforward extension projects.

When hiring a builder in Wandsworth, confirm they have specific experience with the type of property you own — Victorian terrace rear extensions and Edwardian semi loft conversions are quite different in their structural requirements. Always ask for at least two references from recent local projects, check they hold public liability insurance, and use a written contract with a staged payment schedule before any work begins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions — Wandsworth builders

How much does a house extension cost in Wandsworth?+
A single-storey rear extension in Wandsworth typically costs £25,000–£50,000, and a double-storey extension £45,000–£90,000. Wandsworth Common and Putney are at the upper end of this range, while Tooting and Balham tend to be more competitive on cost. Kitchen extensions in the £30,000–£60,000 range are the most popular project type across SW18, SW11, SW15, and SW12. Always get at least three quotes and confirm your builder carries public liability insurance.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Wandsworth?+
Many extensions in Wandsworth qualify under Permitted Development Rights, but the Wandsworth Common area and parts of Balham and Tooting have conservation area designations where Permitted Development Rights may be restricted or removed. The London Borough of Wandsworth planning department should be consulted before finalising any design. Your builder should be able to advise you on local planning requirements based on your postcode.
