Wimbledon · South West London
Wimbledon's detached and semi-detached houses sit on some of the most generous plots in London. That means more room to extend, more potential for loft conversions, and genuine opportunities for new build homes. We design and build projects that make the most of what Wimbledon has to offer.

Working in Wimbledon
Wimbledon's housing stock is different from inner London. The plots are bigger, the houses are often detached or semi-detached, and the gardens are generous. This opens up options that simply do not exist on a terraced street in Hackney or Islington - larger rear extensions, double storey extensions, side extensions, and in some cases, new build homes on subdivided land.
Loft conversions are just as popular here as anywhere else in London. The roof forms on Wimbledon's 1920s and 1930s semis lend themselves particularly well to hip-to-gable conversions, which square off the side of the roof to create a full-width room upstairs. Victorian properties closer to Wimbledon Park work well with rear dormers.
As experienced residential architectural designers in London, we handle both design and construction. One team manages architecture, planning and building under a single contract - no separate builder to find, no gaps between what gets drawn and what gets built.
Services in Wimbledon
The range of projects we take on in Wimbledon is broader than in most London boroughs. Alongside standard extensions and loft conversions, we design new build homes on subdivided plots, handle basement conversions on larger properties, and manage whole-house renovations from concept through to handover.
Our interior design service covers kitchen and bathroom specification, joinery design, lighting and finishes. We can handle everything from the initial floor plan to the final coat of paint.
Planning in Wimbledon
Merton Council manages planning across the Wimbledon area. For most properties outside conservation areas, standard Permitted Development rules apply - a single storey rear extension up to 6 metres on a semi-detached or 8 metres on a detached house can proceed without a planning application.
Wimbledon Village has its own conservation area where PD rights are more restricted. Properties here will usually need a full planning application for any external changes. The council pays close attention to materials, scale and how new work relates to the surrounding streetscape.
For new build homes, Merton's local plan supports sensitive new residential development where it fits the character of the area. Larger gardens on detached properties sometimes allow plot subdivision, though each case is assessed individually. We advise on feasibility before any significant investment in design work.
Cost Guide
Construction costs in Wimbledon typically range from £2,500 to £3,800 per square metre, depending on specification. A rear extension on a semi-detached house usually costs between £60,000 and £120,000. Side and rear wrap-around extensions come in at £80,000 to £140,000. Double storey extensions usually cost between £100,000 and £200,000.
Loft conversions range from £55,000 to £100,000 depending on the type - hip-to-gable conversions on 1930s semis are at the lower end, while full mansard conversions cost more. New build homes start from around £2,500 per square metre for construction, though specification drives the final cost significantly.
Professional fees for architecture, structural engineering and building regulations usually add 10 to 15 percent on top. For broader London pricing, see our house extension cost guide.

Property Types
Wimbledon has a wider mix of housing types than most parts of inner London. Wimbledon Village has large detached houses on generous plots, many of which date from the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The streets around Wimbledon Park have a mix of Victorian terraces and larger Edwardian properties.
The wider Wimbledon area - including Raynes Park, Merton Park and the streets around Wimbledon station - is dominated by 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses. These properties have good-sized gardens and roof spaces that lend themselves well to extensions and loft conversions. Southfields has its own mix of Victorian terraces and inter-war semis.
Nearby Areas
Alongside Wimbledon, we regularly take on projects in Southfields, Raynes Park, Merton Park, Putney, Wandsworth, Kingston, Richmond and Morden.
Outside South West London, we work across all of Greater London and within a 30-mile radius, including Chelsea, Kensington, Hampstead, Islington, Hackney, Camden and Surrey.
