House renovation cost in Southfields.
Southfields — SW18 — south of Wandsworth Common towards Wimbledon. The grid between the District Line station and Wimbledon Park is one of the most consistent Edwardian streetscapes in south-west London.
What makes renovation work in Southfields distinct.
Housing: Edwardian three-bay terraces with bay windows and tile-hung gables — strong loft potential, often with original outriggers intact.
Planning: Southfields Grid Conservation Area covers the main 'Grid' between the station and Replingham Road. Full planning is the rule rather than the exception.
Applications and building control go to LB Wandsworth. We handle listed-building consent where required, alongside conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

Do I need planning permission for a Southfields renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Southfields Grid Conservation Area covers the main 'Grid' between the station and Replingham Road. Full planning is the rule rather than the exception. 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 Southfields housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian three-bay terraces with bay windows and tile-hung gables — strong loft potential, often with original outriggers intact. On this kind of housing in SW18, 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 Southfields 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 Southfields renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Southfields 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.
