    Clapham Kitchen Extension & Flat Refurbishment

    Clapham, South West London, SW4

    A ground-floor kitchen extension and refurbishment of a two-bedroom flat in Clapham. Alongside the extension, we reworked the layout throughout the flat, fitted new bathrooms and did the landscaping. The owners lived at home while the work went on.

    "Bluebird Spaces undertook our ground floor kitchen extension, and reconfiguration throughout our 2 bed flat. Ben is a fantastic project manager, he doesn't pass any stress onto his clients, he is organised and professional as well as super approachable for anything we needed to ask. He managed the whole thing with ease, meeting with us at a time that was convenient to us each week, and just chatted through it all. Tom is amazing - everything is possible according to Tom. Nothing is too much, he will honestly do anything you require and doesn't worry if you change your mind etc etc, he is fab. He has a great can-do attitude and is such a hard worker. The team of guys that were bought on site including carpenters, electricians, brick layers, plasters were all lovely - we lived in our flat whilst it was being renovated and I trusted everyone on site, they were great to have around. We honestly missed everyone when they had gone. The end result is phenomenal - we are just so thankful for what bluebird achieved - they did a fab job and I would recommend them in a heart beat."

    Clapham Kitchen Extension & Flat Refurbishment FAQs

    We price extensions and refurbishments to flats individually after a site visit, because the size, structure, specification and access vary so much from one property to the next. Your fixed quote is itemised and excludes VAT and professional fees (design, structural engineer, Building Control, party wall and planning fees), which are quoted separately. Our Clapham job was a ground-floor kitchen extension and refurbishment of a two-bedroom flat, with the layout reworked throughout, new bathrooms and landscaping.

    Usually, yes. Flats don't have the permitted development rights that houses have, so a ground-floor extension to a flat normally needs a full planning application to Lambeth or Wandsworth, depending on which side of Clapham you're on. On a leasehold flat you'll usually need the freeholder's consent too, and party wall notices if you build on or near a shared wall.

    It depends on the scope. This one combined the ground-floor kitchen extension, a new layout across the flat, new bathrooms, finishes and landscaping. We set out a programme for your job before work starts. Planning permission, the freeholder's consent and any party wall notices need to be in place first, so allow time for those before the start date.

    Often, yes. Our Clapham clients lived in their flat while we built the extension and reworked the layout. We'd plan the work in stages so you keep a working home for as long as possible.

    Yes. We're FMB members. In Clapham we built a ground-floor kitchen extension, reworked the layout throughout a two-bedroom flat, fitted new bathrooms and did the landscaping. The owners' review is on this page. Nearby, we've also built extensions in Wandsworth and Earlsfield, both on our projects page.
