Kitchen
renovation
in Wimbledon, SW19
Designers, Architects, Engineers & Builders Under One Roof.
One Studio. One Contract. One Team.
We design and build Wimbledon kitchen renovations across Wimbledon's principal residential streets - bespoke cabinetry, premium appliance integration, natural-stone worktops, lighting design, ventilation and open-plan reconfiguration for period homes, townhouses, family houses and prime apartments where layout, services, structural coordination and finish sequencing need handling properly.
Wimbledon runs two kitchen briefs at once. Up in the Village, The Ridgway and Lingfield Road hold substantial period homes restored with authentic timber and brick detail, and a kitchen there answers to the joinery and brickwork around it. Down in the town, the stock shifts to Victorian terraces, period conversions and mansion flats, where the governing constraint moves from whole-house structure to the terms of the lease and the freeholder behind it.
The flats deserve particular respect. In the mansion blocks facing the common, structure, acoustics and freeholder consents run together under Merton's control, and SW19's heritage coverage takes in Licences to Alter — so a flat kitchen is sequenced around its consents from the first sketch. Whatever the tenure, Merton's conservation rules are mapped early; that single habit is what keeps a Wimbledon kitchen project on track.
Budgets stay legible when split in two: a build basis of £2,200–£3,500 per square metre where floor area is added — excluding VAT — and a kitchen supply allowance of £5,000–£30,000 that moves with the specification. From there, the numbers are tuned to the individual house or flat rather than quoted from a table.
What a Kitchen Renovation Involves
In a London period property, the kitchen is rarely just cabinetry. Getting the room right usually means opening up a wall, rerouting drainage or power, and rethinking how cooking, eating and family life share one space — which is why we design, engineer and build the whole room under a single contract rather than fitting units into someone else’s shell. The layout comes first, chosen around how your household actually uses the room.
- L-shaped — two adjoining runs that free the rest of the room for dining; the natural fit for side-return extensions
- Island — prep, storage and seating around a central block; needs generous width but anchors an open-plan floor
- Galley — parallel runs that wring maximum worktop and storage from narrow terraces and apartments
- U-shaped — worktop on three sides for dedicated kitchen rooms where storage matters more than seating
- Open-plan — kitchen, dining and living combined, typically after a structural opening or rear extension
How We Run Your Project
Every decision is settled on screen before it costs money on site.
- Brief & survey — we measure the room, trace the services and learn how you cook before proposing anything.
- Design & visualisation — layout options and photorealistic 3D renders, refined until the room is right; changes here are free.
- Fixed-price contract — one agreed figure covering building work, cabinetry, worktops, appliances and finishes together.
- Strip-out & structural — demolition, any steelwork, and first-fix plumbing, gas and electrics run to the designed positions.
- Installation — cabinetry fitted by kitchen specialists, worktops templated and set, appliances commissioned, tiling and flooring completed.
- Snagging & handover — a detailed inspection, warranty documents and a 12-month defects guarantee.
Most kitchens take 4–8 weeks on site depending on how much structural and services work sits behind the cabinetry. Read the full kitchen renovation guide for layouts, worktop materials and specification tiers in detail.
Compliance is built into the programme rather than bolted on. New circuits in a kitchen are notifiable electrical work under Part P, extraction and ventilation must meet Building Regulations, and structural openings need building control approval of the engineering. If you live in a flat, altering services or removing walls usually needs your freeholder’s consent before work starts. For the consent rules in your borough, see our planning guide library.
Why Hampstead Renovations
A kitchen studio designs but leaves you to find a builder; a builder fits but leaves you to find a designer. We close that gap. Design and any structural engineering come from one office — including our in-house RIBA Chartered Architects when the project reshapes the floor plan — and the same company builds what it drew. Where a survey, party wall matter or condition report is needed, RICS surveying support is available through our sister company. Every contract is fixed-price and backed by £10M public liability insurance. Weekday enquiries made before 2pm get a call back from us that same day.
Kitchen Renovation in Wimbledon: Questions
Does it matter whether a Wimbledon kitchen sits in the Village or the town?
It changes the whole brief. Wimbledon divides between the Village and the town, and the work spans Victorian terrace houses, period conversions and mansion flats — so one kitchen project is governed by whole-house structure while the next is shaped by the terms of a lease.
What figures should anchor a Wimbledon kitchen budget?
Two, kept separate. Where the project adds floor area, the London-wide build basis is £2,200–£3,500 for each square metre gained, excluding VAT, and the kitchen supply allowance runs £5,000–£30,000 on top. Everything else in the budget hangs off those two lines.
Can we renovate the kitchen in a Wimbledon mansion flat?
Yes — with the lease driving the programme. In the mansion flats facing the common, structure, acoustics and freeholder consents are handled together under Merton control, and the local heritage set extends to Licences to Alter in SW19, so the paperwork is organised alongside the design rather than after it.
How do you treat period detail in a Wimbledon Village kitchen?
As the starting point. On The Ridgway and Lingfield Road the substantial period homes are restored with authentic timber and brick detail, and a kitchen in one of these houses is designed to honour that material language rather than paint over it.
Should we speak to Merton before starting a Wimbledon kitchen renovation?
Before the design settles, yes. Knowing where Merton's conservation rules bite, before decisions harden, is what keeps a Wimbledon scheme on track — it is far easier to plan around a constraint than to redesign into one.
