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.
What our clients say
Most of our work comes from recommendations. Here is what a few of our clients have said.
"From the first visit to handover, the team was organised, tidy and honest about costs. Our basement is beautifully finished and completely dry, and our neighbours were kept informed throughout."
Sarah, Battersea SW11 · Basement conversion
"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."
James, Clapham SW4 · Full refurbishment
"Our side return extension finished on schedule and the steel-framed doors are stunning. Every change we asked for was priced up front, so there were no surprises at the end."
Priya, Balham SW12 · Kitchen extension
