House renovation cost in Putney.
Putney — across Putney Bridge from Fulham — has been one of 2VP's busiest loft territories since 2018. The Edwardian and inter-war terraces between Upper Richmond Road and the heath are textbook L-shape dormer candidates.
What makes renovation work in Putney distinct.
Housing: Edwardian three-storey terraces with kitchen outriggers, plus inter-war semi-detached houses on the south side towards Putney Heath.
Planning: Putney Embankment, West Putney and Lower Common conservation areas restrict PD on the river-side streets, but most of central Putney qualifies for PD on rear dormers.
Applications and building control go to LB Wandsworth. We handle listed-building consent where required, alongside conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What Putney homeowners ask us.
How much does a house renovation cost in Putney in 2026?
Typical 2026 Putney ranges (inc. design, build, contingency & VAT): kitchen-only £25k–£78k; bathroom-only £15k–£49k; single-room refurb £20k–£59k; whole-house £176k–£441k; period restoration £245k–£882k. The Putney multiplier (0.98×) reflects local labour, scaffold and finish expectations.
Do I need planning permission for a Putney renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Putney Embankment, West Putney and Lower Common conservation areas restrict PD on the river-side streets, but most of central Putney qualifies for PD on rear dormers. 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 Putney housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian three-storey terraces with kitchen outriggers, plus inter-war semi-detached houses on the south side towards Putney Heath. On this kind of housing in SW15, 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 Putney 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 Wandsworth processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Putney renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Putney 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.

As a structural engineer, I've collaborated with 2VP Projects Ltd on several residential projects in London. Their attention to detail, proactive site management, and clear communication make every stage—from design to execution—smooth and efficient. It's rare to find a contractor who values both precision and professionalism at this level. A truly reliable partner.
Great company to work with. Professional, reliable and easy to deal with. Vladimir and the team are always responsive, straightforward and genuinely care about doing things properly. I've had a very positive experience working with 2VP and would happily recommend them.
Extension went smoothly from start to finish. Communication was great throughout, and the team delivered exactly what we asked for. Thank you, 2VP!
