Do I need planning permission for a Streatham renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Telford Park conservation areas cover specific pockets. 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 Streatham housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis, and 1920s/30s housing on the southern slopes. On this kind of housing in SW16, 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 Streatham 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 Lambeth processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Streatham renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Streatham 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.
