What can we refurbish in your Wandsworth property?
A refurbishment should make your home easier to live in, not give you another project to manage. We coordinate the trades, survey the property before quoting and give you one point of contact throughout the work.
Bathrooms and shower rooms. From removing the old suite to plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and the final fittings. We work on family bathrooms, en-suites and bathrooms in converted flats and mansion blocks. See bathroom design and installation.
Kitchens. Installation of trade-supplied or client-supplied kitchens, with plumbing, electrics, worktops, flooring and finishing works coordinated around the fitting programme. See kitchen design and installation.
Whole-property refurbishment. Flat and house renovations involving old services, new layouts, plastering, flooring, joinery and decoration. Work is planned in the right order so a newly finished room does not need to be opened up again. See full property refurbishment.
Repairs and maintenance. General repairs, decoration and ongoing maintenance for homeowners, landlords and managing agents. See property maintenance.
Wandsworth homes are rarely as straightforward as the floor plan
A Victorian terrace near Wandsworth Common has different practical demands from a Battersea mansion flat. Older houses may have uneven floors, ageing pipework and walls that need more preparation than a modern property. In a converted flat, the deciding factor may be whether a waste pipe can reach the existing soil stack without disturbing another part of the building.
Mansion blocks introduce another layer: lift access, permitted working hours, insurance paperwork, protection of corridors and arrangements for removing waste. We discuss these points early, rather than treating them as an afterthought once the bathroom has been stripped out.
There are also planning considerations. Wandsworth Council identifies 46 conservation areas, and some properties are affected by Article 4 Directions. This does not mean that a routine internal kitchen or bathroom refurbishment automatically needs planning permission. Changes to the exterior, however, may require more careful checking, and listed buildings have separate consent rules. We flag possible issues and ask owners to confirm the necessary permissions with the council or their professional adviser before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish a flat in a managed block?
Yes. We plan the work around the building’s access and contractor requirements, including deliveries, working hours and protection of common parts. The owner should check the lease and obtain any required freeholder consent.
How much does a Wandsworth bathroom renovation cost?
Our London budgeting guide puts a straightforward full refurbishment at roughly £7,000 to £12,000, a mid-range bathroom at £12,000 to £20,000 and a bespoke scheme at £20,000 or more. These are indicative 2026 ranges, not a quote for your room. See our London bathroom cost guide.
Do I need permission for a kitchen or bathroom in a conservation area?
Routine internal work in an unlisted home does not usually need planning permission solely because the address is within a conservation area. Listed building consent, building regulations or lease conditions may still apply, depending on the works.
Will you tell us what is included in the price?
Yes. After the survey we send an itemised fixed-price quote within 2 working days, explaining the agreed work and any assumptions. Anything that cannot be seen until strip-out, and how it would be priced, is discussed before work begins.
What guarantee do you give?
Our workmanship is covered by a two-year guarantee. Manufacturer warranties on products are separate.
