Covering Wimbledon
Wimbledon is about 7 miles south-west of London. We also cover Morden (2 miles to the south), Mitcham and Putney.
Homes in London
Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.
What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
How much does a house-to-flat conversion cost in Wimbledon?

Planning and building rules in Wimbledon
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What can change the price or programme?
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
