House Extensions in Battersea
Battersea is one of South West London's most active renovation markets — a mix of Victorian terraces in SW11, Edwardian mansion conversions, and a fast-evolving riverside district around the power station. Property values are high and renovation ambitions to match. rcbGroup delivers extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishments across SW8 and SW11.
rcbGroup projectHouse Extensions in Battersea — what to expect
Battersea's Victorian terraced houses offer good rear extension potential. Ground floor rear extensions at 3–5m depth open up the classic narrow plan into an open-plan kitchen-diner. Side return extensions are popular on end-of-terrace and mid-terrace properties where the side passage can be enclosed. Many SW11 properties sit in or near conservation areas — materials and design require careful attention to planning policy.
Battersea property types
Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, period mansion blocks, converted flats, new-build apartments near the power station. The property type affects which extension approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.

Planning in Battersea
Battersea has several conservation areas including the Battersea Square and Latchmere Conservation Areas. Wandsworth Council applies additional design controls within designated areas.
