Expert kitchen renovation services in Battersea, SW11. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Wandsworth.
Battersea's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, the ones packed around Lavender Hill, Northcote Road and the streets between Battersea Park and Clapham Common, were built with small, closed off kitchens. That doesn't work for a modern family. We rework them into generous open plan kitchen diners that end up being the room everyone lives in.
A side return extension is one of the best ways to find extra floor in a Battersea terrace. Build out into the narrow passage beside the old rear addition and you can add 25 to 40 square feet of kitchen, then put full height glazing across the back to flood it with light. Our structural engineers know the party wall setups and London stock brick construction you get all over SW11.
On materials we go for things that stand up to a busy house. Composite stone or quartz worktops, handleless units or a classic Shaker, engineered timber floors that take the traffic. Underfloor heating is a popular call, since it gets rid of the radiators and frees the walls up for cupboards or seating.
We run every part of it, from the first drawings and the Wandsworth Council planning submission through to snagging and handover. Fixed price contracts and a clear schedule mean Battersea homeowners know where they stand the whole way through.
Battersea falls within the London Borough of Wandsworth, and the housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian family houses and mansion block flats. The streets around Northcote Road and between the Commons pull in families more than anywhere, and for those buyers a good kitchen is near the top of the list.
The council is generally happy with single storey rear and side return extensions under permitted development. Houses inside the Wandsworth Common or Battersea Park conservation areas can need a full planning application, but that's a process we run all the time.
“SOM turned our dark galley kitchen on Mallinson Road into a big open plan space with a huge skylight and bi fold doors onto the garden. The whole family lives in there now. Best money we've spent on the house by a mile.”

You get a full quote with no obligation. It covers labour, materials and how long the job will take.
Our team fits the kitchen carefully and keeps the mess and disruption down while we work.
Plenty of single storey rear and side return extensions in Battersea come under permitted development, so often not. If you're in a conservation area, like the ones near Battersea Park or Wandsworth Common, you may need a full application. We check your property and run the process.
A refit with no structural work is 4 to 6 weeks. With a side return extension, reckon on 10 to 14 weeks from strip out to finish, including the structural work, first fix and final finishes.
Yes. A lot of our Battersea clients stay put through the works. We set up a temporary kitchen, screen off the living areas against dust, and keep the noisy jobs within the hours Wandsworth Council allows so it's as bearable as possible.
