What Putney properties actually throw up
- Victorian terraces — Long narrow plans, rear additions, and side returns that have often been partly altered already. We check what is structural before pricing.
- Mansion blocks and period conversions — Shared soil stacks and risers, plus a lease that usually requires freeholder consent for anything wet or structural. That paperwork sits on the critical path.
- Riverside flats — Newer fabric, but building management restrictions on working hours, lifts and waste handling dictate the programme.
A large share of Putney is flats, which means the constraint is usually the lease and the freeholder rather than the building. We identify at survey whether a licence to alter is needed, because that is the single most common reason a Putney job starts late.

How we work
- Fixed price, agreed before we start. We survey the property, price the risks we can see, and hold that figure. We do not price low and find extras later.
- One team, one contact. Every trade is ours, so there is no gap between the plumber finishing and the tiler turning up, and nobody to blame if something is wrong.
- Two-year workmanship warranty on completed works.
- CDM Principal Contractor and Principal Designer qualified — the health and safety duty-holder role most small builders cannot take on, and a requirement on larger domestic projects.
- Over 100 completed projects across West London, including an eleven-flat commercial conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a builder cost in Putney?
For defined works we quote a fixed price rather than a day rate. As a guide, a bathroom refit starts from £3,500 + VAT and a full one or two-bed flat refurbishment from £18,000 + VAT. Small repair visits are quoted individually.
Do you charge for a quote or a site visit?
No. The survey and the written fixed-price quote are free, and there is no obligation.
How long does a bathroom take in Putney?
Seven to ten working days for a standard three-piece refit. Layout changes, wet rooms and premium tiling run to two or three weeks, because the first-fix plumbing and tanking take longer.
Do I need planning permission to renovate in Putney?
Wandsworth Council covers planning and Building Control. Internal renovation normally needs no planning permission, but in a flat the lease will usually require freeholder consent for structural work, for moving a bathroom or kitchen, and sometimes for changing flooring. We raise it before you commit.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Putney?
Yes — between-tenancy refreshes, full refurbishments and planned maintenance. Fixed prices and defined completion dates, which is usually what matters most when a property is standing empty.
Which areas near Putney do you cover?
Putney (SW15), Wimbledon, Fulham, Richmond, and the rest of West London.
