The process

  2. Photograph fabric and access

    Send close-up and wide photographs plus the full SW19 unit postcode for Wimbledon. Include access notes (floor, parking, freeholder rules) when tools or materials must reach the work.

  3. Submit a private brief

    Use the online brief or call. We review the Wimbledon evidence against fabric, access, freeholder or authority constraints and current capacity before anyone is programmed.

  4. Receive a written next step

    Accepted house extension work is described in writing for the exact unit — not a district menu price invented from SW19 alone. Submitting a brief is not a booking.

  5. Programme and complete under written terms

    When accepted, works are sequenced for Wimbledon access and occupancy under Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, with snagging as agreed in writing.

House extension in Wimbledon SW19

Could house extension in Wimbledon involve the Party Wall Act?

For a Wimbledon house extension scope, neighbour and boundary questions are flagged only when the address evidence makes them relevant. Formal notices, awards and surveyor appointments remain with the building owner and appointed surveyors; this page does not decide them.

If you already hold a party-wall notice, award or neighbour correspondence, attach it with photographs so professional input can be sequenced before irreversible build steps. This page does not invent a party-wall outcome from the SW19 postcode alone.
