What we build in Wimbledon
We only offer services in Wimbledon that suit its buildings and market. These are the projects we are asked for most here:
Prime residential refurbishment
Prime residential refurbishments in Wimbledon: whole-house and apartment refurbishments, structural alterations, extensions, M&E renewal, bespoke joinery and high-end finishes, managed discreetly with neighbours in mind.
High-end interior design
Interior design in Wimbledon by our in-house team: space planning, joinery design, lighting, materials and finishes, carried through to delivery so the finished home matches the drawings.
Clinic & medical fit-out
Clinic, dental and treatment-room fit-outs in Wimbledon: hygiene-grade finishes, ventilation, specialist M&E, accessibility and the compliance documentation medical spaces need.
Commercial fit-out & refurbishment
Commercial fit-outs and refurbishments in Wimbledon for offices, showrooms, studios and mixed-use buildings — from strip-out and structural changes to M&E, finishes and handover, with one team accountable for design and build.
Planning consultancy & permission
Planning consultancy for Wimbledon: pre-application advice, planning and listed building consent applications to London Borough of Merton, and the drawings and reports that go with them.
Planning, consents and site rules in Wimbledon
Local authority: London Borough of Merton. Before any design is fixed we check the planning and ownership position for your address, because in Wimbledon this decides what is possible and how long it takes:
- Wimbledon Village and surrounding streets are conservation areas, some with Article 4 directions removing permitted development rights.
- Large detached houses often involve full refurbishment, extensions and landscaping.
- Town-centre units need landlord consent and careful logistics.
We prepare the drawings and statements, submit the applications and build the approval time into your programme — so construction starts on a date you can rely on.

Questions about building in Wimbledon
Do you fit out clinics and treatment spaces in Wimbledon?
Yes. We deliver clinic, spa and treatment-room fit-outs, including ventilation, hygiene finishes and accessibility.
Can you refurbish a large house in Wimbledon Village?
Yes, within the conservation area's controls.
How much does a project in Wimbledon cost?
It depends on scope, condition, specification and access, so we don't publish a price per square foot without seeing the building. As a reference, the table above shows what recent Craftex projects actually cost. Our Feasibility & Costing Study gives you a detailed, unit-by-unit cost plan before you commit.
How long will my Wimbledon project take?
Programme depends on size, consents and whether the building stays occupied. Our projects have ranged from three weeks for a 750 sq m office refurbishment to seven months for a £2.2M conversion. We give a realistic programme with the cost plan, and every project we have delivered so far has finished ahead of programme.
Who handles consents with London Borough of Merton?
We do. Our design and planning team prepares drawings, applications and method statements, and manages planning, listed building consent, building control and landlord or estate licences alongside the build programme.
Do you use subcontractors?
Around 60% of our labour is direct, and one Craftex project manager controls every trade. That gives you one accountable team, consistent quality and no gaps between designer and builder.
What is the minimum project size you take on?
We typically take on projects from around £100k, from single floors and units to whole buildings.
How do I start?
Send us the address, a short description and any drawings or photos. We arrange a site visit, then prepare a Feasibility & Costing Study with design options, consents, a cost plan and a programme for your Wimbledon project.
