Kitchen Renovation in Wimbledon

The big Edwardian and 1930s houses around Wimbledon give you room to do a proper kitchen. We work right across the area, on homes that back onto Wimbledon Common, sit in the Village, or take up one of the larger plots on Copse Hill and Marryat Road. These are generous properties and the kitchen needs to hold its own.

A lot of these homes have kitchens that give straight onto a big mature garden. We make the most of that with full height glazing, covered terraces, sometimes an outdoor kitchen off the back so the cooking spills outside through summer. Plots out here are bigger than inner London, so a rear extension can stretch to a utility, a boot room and a walk in pantry without cramping the main run.

Plenty of the 1920s and 1930s stock has Arts and Crafts detailing, and the older Edwardian villas often still have the original servants' quarters. Both respond well to opening up. Those chopped up ground floors turn into one flowing family space built around the kitchen.

Most of our Wimbledon jobs run underfloor heating throughout, integrated AV, and appliances from Gaggenau, Miele and Sub-Zero. That is what people round here tend to expect.

Wimbledon sits in the London Borough of Merton, and the housing is mostly large detached and semi detached houses on good sized plots. The Wimbledon Village Conservation Area and the streets around it hold a lot of individually important properties, and Merton Council applies planning controls in proportion to protect the character.

Because the plots are big, a substantial rear extension is often achievable under permitted development. It is a family area, so demand for a large well fitted kitchen is strong. A good kitchen puts real money on a Wimbledon house.
