Battersea's housing runs from Victorian terraces on the Shaftesbury Park estate and around Northcote Road to mansion blocks off Prince of Wales Drive and new-build riverside apartments. Side-return and wraparound kitchen extensions are the mainstay on Battersea terraces between the commons; where the plot is tight a rear infill with rooflights makes a big difference.
Shaftesbury Park Estate, Latchmere Estate, Battersea Park and Clapham Common are conservation areas; on the two estates, Article 4 directions mean roof changes need planning permission. Most Battersea extensions we price fall between £2,500 and £4,000 per m², so a 25–30 m² kitchen extension is roughly £75,000–£120,000 fitted out; our house extension cost guide breaks the numbers down. We check permitted development rights at the first visit and deal with Wandsworth Council in-house.

Loft conversions in Battersea
Battersea terraces usually take a rear dormer, sometimes L-shaped over the back addition; Shaftesbury Park's smaller cottages have limited head height so a survey comes first.
Expect £45,000–£75,000 for a dormer loft with a bedroom and en-suite, £60,000–£100,000+ for a mansard and from £25,000 for a Velux conversion; the loft conversion cost guide has the breakdown. For a Battersea loft we measure head height, roof structure and the stair landing first, and the quote includes structural calculations and Building Regulations approval.
Renovations and refurbishment in Battersea
Battersea refurbishments often combine a ground-floor reconfiguration with new bathrooms, flooring and full redecoration of flats and houses. Typical Battersea refurbishments include structural openings with steel beams, new kitchens and bathrooms, rewiring, heating and period repairs such as sash windows, cornices and floors. See our renovation cost guide for realistic budgets. Battersea projects are run by a single project manager under a JCT contract, with a written specification and a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Common questions about building in Battersea
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Battersea?
Houses (not flats or maisonettes) keep national permitted development rights for a single-storey rear extension (3m attached, 4m detached, or 6m and 8m with prior approval) and most rear dormers (40 cubic metres on a terrace, 50 otherwise). All of Battersea is in Wandsworth Council. Its conservation areas include Shaftesbury Park Estate, Latchmere Estate, Battersea Park, Park Town, Battersea Square, Clapham Junction and Clapham Common, where side extensions, two-storey rear extensions, cladding and roof additions need permission. On the Latchmere Estate an Article 4 direction means even extensions need permission, and on the Shaftesbury Park Estate one controls street-facing windows, doors, roofs and painting. See our permitted development guide.
What does Wandsworth Council expect for loft conversions in Battersea?
Under Local Plan Policy LP5, dormers and other roof alterations should be confined to the rear and use matching or complementary materials. The Housing SPD (2016) says a rear mansard-style addition on a mid-terrace house between party walls is usually acceptable if it is not clearly seen from the street, while end-of-terrace and corner houses should take a rear dormer set below the ridge and in from the edge. On the Shaftesbury Park and Latchmere estates, the Article 4 directions mean roof changes need planning permission, so we plan for an application there.
What does a side return extension cost in Battersea?
On the Victorian terraces between the commons and around Northcote Road, a side return extension typically costs £65,000–£130,000 at mid to high specification, including VAT. If you are converting the loft at the same time, a rear dormer is £45,000–£75,000 and an L-shaped dormer over the back addition £55,000–£85,000, again including VAT. The final figure depends on the depth of the infill, the glazing and the steelwork. Our side return extension cost guide sets out what is included.
