Wandsworth and Earlsfield FAQs

Can I build a two-storey basement in Wandsworth?

No. Wandsworth Council's guidance says multi-level basements are not appropriate in the borough.

How much garden must I keep with a basement?

Wandsworth's guidance recommends keeping at least half of the rear garden, with at least 1 metre of soil above any basement under it.

Can you build from drawings prepared by my Wandsworth or Earlsfield architect?

Yes. We work with your architect and structural engineer to understand the drawings, specification and site conditions. A clear scope helps the quotation and construction programme reflect the design.

When should existing drains be considered for an Earlsfield extension?

Drainage should be investigated during design, before foundations and floor levels are finalised. Existing records and any necessary surveys help the project team identify constraints and establish whether further approvals are needed.

Can bespoke storage be included in a Wandsworth refurbishment?

Yes. Built-in cupboards, shelving and storage beneath stairs can be planned with the room layouts. Agreeing dimensions, finishes and service positions early helps the joinery fit the wider scheme.

"We stripped our Victorian terrace back to the brick and the team handled everything: steelwork, rewiring, joinery, the lot. They restored the original cornicing and the house has never looked better."
