Building and renovation in SW19

SW19 covers Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park, Merton Park, South Wimbledon. Large detached houses and Arts and Crafts properties in the Village, Edwardian terraces around Wimbledon Park, and 1930s semis towards Merton Park.

Planning and consent in SW19

Merton conservation areas cover the Village, Wimbledon Park and Merton Park, with article 4 directions in places. The larger Village plots support basements, pools and outbuildings subject to tree and drainage constraints.

Access and site logistics

Driveways and generous frontages allow on-plot storage and plant. Championship fortnight brings road restrictions that we plan programmes around.

What we are usually asked for here

  • Large rear and wrap-around extensions on detached houses
  • Basement excavation, indoor pools and leisure rooms
  • Loft conversions and complete second-floor additions
  • Whole-house renovation, landscaping and driveway works

We survey the property before pricing, confirm the constraints that apply to your specific address rather than the postcode, and issue a fixed price against a written scope. One site manager runs the trades from first fix to snagging.

Basement waterproofing in SW19

Wimbledon's larger detached and semi-detached houses often have generous cellars and space for a proper plant position, and new basement extensions under gardens are common on the hill.

Garden basements get a waterproof concrete structure with an internal Type C cavity drain membrane, land drainage outside the box, zoned channels inside it, and duty and standby pumps with backup power and maintenance access designed in from the start.

A Type C cavity drain system in SW19 is specified after a survey, designed to BS 8102 for the way you intend to use the room, and installed with the drainage channel, sump and pumps left accessible for maintenance. Read the full basement waterproofing and Type C cavity drain guide, or see how it fits into a basement and cellar conversion.

Waterproofing or damp proofing in SW19?

Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In Wimbledon we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.

How a SW19 quotation works

We visit, find the source of the water, check head height, drainage outfall and any lease or listed-building constraints on your address, then issue a written scope and fixed price covering membrane, channel, sump and pumps and the finished room.

Every SW19 kitchen or bathroom quotation starts with a site survey: we check waste and stack positions, water pressure, extract routes, floor structure and any lease or conservation requirements for your address before pricing.

Garden designer in SW19

Wimbledon gardens range from compact town plots to larger, mature gardens with trees, sloping lawns and boundary planting.

South west London gardens behind terraced and semi-detached houses are often long and narrow, used as family spaces, with garden rooms, terraces and lighting frequently requested.

Our garden design and landscaping service covers layout, levels and drainage, planting, terraces and paths, garden lighting and external power, and how materials and plant reach the garden. In SW19 that access question matters: Driveways and generous frontages allow on-plot storage and plant. Championship fortnight brings road restrictions that we plan programmes around.

Roofing in SW19

SW19's larger period and inter-war houses can have complex roofs with hips, valleys, dormers and tile-hung features.

Typical roofs combine pitched slate or tile main roofs, rear outrigger roofs, valleys and dormers, often alongside loft work already completed or planned.

Roofing work starts with a survey and photographs, then a written scope that states whether repair or replacement is recommended: pitched and flat roofs, leadwork and flashings, guttering and rainwater goods, and the scaffolding the roof needs. Planning, conservation and freeholder requirements for your address are confirmed at survey.
