Question 1

What types of extension work suit the large Wimbledon Edwardian semis (SW19/SW20)?

Accepted Answer

The wide Edwardian semis on roads around Wimbledon Village and Raynes Park have genuine plot depth and width — enough for substantial single-storey rear extensions (kitchen-dining rooms of 20–30 m²), side additions and garden-room links. Some properties have south-facing gardens long enough for two-storey rear extensions. TB&D Construction handles the structural calcs, planning applications (where required) and Building Regulations for all extension types in SW19.

Question 2

Are there planning restrictions in Wimbledon Village that affect renovation work?

Accepted Answer

Wimbledon Village conservation area (SW19) protects the historic commercial and residential character around the Common. Properties within the conservation area face restrictions on external alterations including roof changes and front extensions. TB&D checks every SW19 address against Merton Council's conservation area maps before advising on planning options.

Question 3

Do you cover Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4) as well as Wimbledon?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TB&D Construction covers the full Merton borough: SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4. Projects in Mitcham and Morden typically involve rear extensions and full house renovations on the interwar semi stock; Wimbledon work spans the full range from loft conversions to full house renovations on the larger period properties. One project manager handles each job end to end.

Question 4

What party-wall obligations apply to extensions on the large Wimbledon Edwardian semis (SW19/SW20)?

Accepted Answer

The substantial Edwardian semis on roads around Wimbledon Village and Raynes Park are semi-detached — one shared party wall. A rear extension, side addition or loft conversion that bears on or builds along that wall requires a Party Wall Act notice served on the adjoining owner before work starts. For the large-footprint two-storey rear extensions that the deeper plots in SW19 can accommodate, the structural loads on the party wall are significant and TB&D Construction includes a thorough structural engineer review alongside party-wall notice preparation.

Question 5

What range of project types does TB&D Construction deliver across the Merton borough?

Accepted Answer

Merton's housing spans the large Edwardian semis and detached properties of Wimbledon (SW19/SW20), the interwar terrace and semi-detached stock of Raynes Park (SW20) and Colliers Wood (SW19), and the 1930s semis and post-war estates of Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4). TB&D Construction handles side and rear extensions, hip-to-gable and dormer loft conversions, full house renovations, kitchen and bathroom refits, and boiler replacements via our Gas Safe registered partner. TB&D carries £1m PL and £5m EL insurance and holds a 9.92/10 Checkatrade rating.
