Refurbishment company
in Tooting, SW17
In-house RIBA Chartered Architects, structural engineers and build delivery under one contract.
Survey. Design. Consent. Build.
A refurbishment company for Tooting that reads the Wandsworth planning record first, then delivers linked structural, roof and services work as one coordinated scheme.
What the Wandsworth record means for a refurbishment company in Tooting
The local planning record rewards coordination. At 30 Gassiot Road, Wandsworth application 2024/4226 combined a single-storey rear and side extension, a rear dormer, two front rooflights, an extension over part of the rear addition and air-source heat pumps in one scheme, approved with conditions on 22 April 2025. A refurbishment company should bring linked structural, roof and services work into one consented scheme the same way.
Converted flats follow a different route again: Wandsworth's householder guidance directs a flat in a converted house to a full planning application rather than the householder form, so the building type is confirmed before the application strategy is chosen.
Those two records set the working method for SW17 — establish the property type and consent route first, then design the refurbishment as one coordinated scheme rather than a series of disconnected packages.
What a Refurbishment Company Should Coordinate
A whole-property refurbishment joins design, approvals, structure, building services and finishes into one programme. We establish the brief and consent route before strip-out, then sequence structural work, first fix, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and decoration so each trade works from the same drawings and specification.
- Survey and brief — existing conditions, priorities, constraints and the intended finish
- Architecture and approvals — coordinated drawings and the property-specific consent route
- Structure and services — engineering, electrics, plumbing, heating and ventilation
- Interior delivery — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, flooring and decoration
What Does a Full Refurbishment Cost?
For whole-house refurbishment, our confirmed 2026 working range is typically £1,200–£3,500+ per square metre. Straightforward renewal with a retained layout starts at the lower end; structural reconfiguration, bespoke joinery, heritage work and premium finishes move a scheme higher. Design and statutory fees are scoped separately before appointment.
| Specification | 2026 working rate | Typical emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | From £1,200/sqm | Retained layouts and dependable mid-range finishes |
| Premium | From £2,000/sqm | Layout changes, upgraded services and tailored interiors |
| Heritage / luxury | £3,000–£3,500+/sqm | Complex fabric, specialist detailing and bespoke finishes |
A typical construction programme is 16–32 weeks once approvals, design and procurement are complete. The survey and written scope determine which band is relevant; the square-metre figures are planning guides rather than a quotation.
From Existing Building to Handover
- Investigate — measure the property and identify fabric, structural and services constraints.
- Design — coordinate layouts, specification, engineering and the consent strategy.
- Price — align the drawings and written scope before construction is agreed.
