Builders in Putney, SW15
Putney occupies an enviable position between the Thames and Putney Heath, offering some of South West London's most attractive Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The area's proximity to both the river and expansive green spaces, combined with excellent transport links via East Putney on the District line, makes it a highly sought-after address for affluent families and professionals. Alstruct Ltd provides a premium construction service that matches the calibre of Putney's distinguished property market, delivering bespoke extensions, renovations and conversions of uncompromising quality.
The architectural character of Putney ranges from grand double-fronted Victorian houses along Upper Richmond Road to elegant Edwardian terraces near the Lower Common. Many of these properties possess remarkable potential for transformation — from open-plan kitchen extensions with seamless indoor-outdoor flow to luxurious loft conversions that capture panoramic views across the rooftops. Our team of skilled artisans and project managers work in concert to ensure every detail is meticulously crafted, from bespoke joinery to hand-selected natural stone finishes.
Putney's thriving High Street, proximity to Putney Bridge and the Thames towpath, and outstanding schools such as Brandlehow and Putney High School create a lifestyle that demands homes of exceptional quality.

Putney is Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Lower Richmond Road and West Putney, 1920s cottages on the Dover House estate, 1930s semis towards Putney Heath and Roehampton, and mansion flats along Upper Richmond Road. House extensions in Putney are mostly side-return and wraparound kitchen extensions on the terraces, with wide rear extensions on the Putney Heath semis; lower-ground dig-outs are common in West Putney.
West Putney, Putney Embankment and the Dover House Estate are among Putney's conservation areas, and across the borough Wandsworth's Local Plan keeps roof changes to the rear, in matching materials. Most Putney 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 Putney
Loft conversions in Putney are usually L-shaped rear dormers on the Victorian terraces and hip-to-gable conversions on the semis; the Dover House cottages have limited roof space so we survey 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 Putney 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 Putney
Putney refurbishments are typically full renovations of Victorian terraces and mansion flats with new kitchens, bathrooms and restored period detail. Typical Putney 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. Putney 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 Putney
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Putney?
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). Putney is in Wandsworth Council. Its conservation areas include West Putney, Putney Embankment, Dover House Estate, Oxford Road, Putney Lower Common, East Putney, Deodar Road and Putney Heath, where side extensions, two-storey rear extensions, cladding and roof additions need permission. A Dover House Estate Article 4 direction also covers street-facing windows, doors, roofs, porches, front gardens and painting. See our permitted development guide.
What does Wandsworth Council expect for loft conversions in Putney?
Wandsworth's Local Plan Policy LP5 applies across Putney: dormers and other roof alterations should be at the rear, in matching or complementary materials. The Housing SPD (2016) usually accepts a rear mansard-style addition on a mid-terrace house between party walls where it is not clearly seen from the street, and prefers a rear dormer set below the ridge on end-of-terrace and corner houses. On the Dover House Estate the Article 4 direction brings roof changes, including re-roofing in a different material, under planning control.
What does a loft conversion cost in Putney?
On Putney's Victorian terraces the usual choice is a dormer. A rear dormer loft typically costs £45,000–£75,000 and an L-shaped dormer over the back addition £55,000–£85,000, both including VAT. Head height, the stair position and the structure of the roof decide where a project falls in the range, which is why we survey first. For the ground floor, a Victorian side return extension is £65,000–£130,000 at mid to high specification, including VAT. Our dormer loft conversion cost guide has the detail.
