Do I need planning permission for a Mortlake renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Mortlake Conservation Area covers the historic core; outside it, PD rights are usually intact. If you're in a conservation area or your property is listed, listed-building consent may be needed for layout changes, sash-window replacement or chimney works. We check the specific address before quoting.
What's the typical Mortlake housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian terraces with outriggers, plus older cottages near the riverside and 1920s semis on the southern edges. On this kind of housing in SW14, whole-house refurbishments most commonly involve new layout (often opening up the ground floor), full rewire, new heating, new kitchen and bathrooms, and finishes throughout. Period restoration is more common on listed properties and conservation-area frontages.
How long does a Mortlake renovation take?
Allow 4–10 weeks for design and procurement, then 6–10 weeks on site for a kitchen, 3–5 weeks for a bathroom, 4–8 months for a whole-house refurb, and 8–14 months for period restoration. LB Richmond upon Thames processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Mortlake renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Mortlake clients rent locally for 3–6 months during the works. We coordinate the programme with break clauses so you're not paying double rent at the end.
