    Local project guide

    Planning a Putney family-home project

    Putney has a varied mix of terraces, semis, mansion flats and larger detached homes. The right option may be a loft, a rear extension or a phased refurbishment; our first review focuses on which route improves the plan without creating unnecessary structural work.

    What to check before choosing a contractor

    • Check the property history and any conservation or estate controls before assuming permitted development applies.
    • Plan storage, utility space and circulation alongside the headline kitchen or bedroom area.
    • Agree which fixtures are included and which are client supplied before the fixed-price proposal is signed.
    Check Wandsworth Council guidance

    Putney: what we can show you nearby

    Straight answer: we haven't got a finished Putney job on this site yet. The nearest are our rear kitchen extension in Wandsworth, next door in SW18, and our East Sheen extension further along the Upper Richmond Road.

    The estates with extra rules

    If you live on the Dover House Estate, you're on a 1920s London County Council cottage estate that's a conservation area with an Article 4 Direction. Many changes you can see from the street need planning permission there, so check before you order new windows or doors. Our Wandsworth Article 4 guide lists the others in the borough.

    Putney is Wandsworth borough, so skips and pavement scaffolding need council licences, the same as anywhere else in the borough.

    Common Questions

    Many extensions qualify for permitted development. Properties in conservation areas (Putney Hill, West Putney, Dover House Estate) require planning permission. We check this at our free site visit, and we work with your architect on the Wandsworth Council application.

    A typical loft conversion with us, a rear dormer with an en-suite, costs about £80,000–£90,000 to build, and a typical kitchen or side return extension about £90,000–£100,000 (build price; kitchen units, flooring and other second-fix items are supplied by you). Both exclude VAT and professional fees. Prices are the same across the boroughs we cover, though access and logistics can affect the final figure. You get a fixed quote after a site visit.

    Loft conversions: around 13-15 weeks as a realistic target; larger or complex schemes take longer; written programme after survey and design. Kitchen and side return extensions: around 13 weeks on site. Detailed programme provided before work begins.

    Yes. Many Putney homes are Victorian or Edwardian, which is most of what we work on. We haven't completed a Putney job yet; the nearest are our Wandsworth rear extension and Southfields loft, both on our projects page.
