Do I need planning permission for a Tooting renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Heaver Estate (partially) and Tooting Common conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most of central Tooting retains PD rights. 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 Tooting housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian three-bay terraces, almost uniformly suited to L-shape dormer conversions. On this kind of housing in SW17, 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 Tooting 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 Tooting renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Tooting 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.
