House renovation cost in Wimbledon.
Wimbledon — SW19 — south-west London with a mix of village character around the common and Victorian/Edwardian terraces on the slopes below. Strong loft-conversion demand from family buyers.
What makes renovation work in Wimbledon distinct.
Housing: Edwardian terraces and semis on the slopes, Victorian villas around the village, and 1920s/30s housing on the southern fringes.
Planning: Wimbledon Village, John Innes and Hartfield Road conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most of central SW19 retains PD rights.
Applications and building control go to LB Merton. We handle listed-building consent where required, alongside conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What Wimbledon homeowners ask us.

Do I need planning permission for a Wimbledon renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Wimbledon Village, John Innes and Hartfield Road conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most of central SW19 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 Wimbledon housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian terraces and semis on the slopes, Victorian villas around the village, and 1920s/30s housing on the southern fringes. On this kind of housing in SW19, 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 Wimbledon 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 Merton processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Wimbledon renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Wimbledon 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.
