Putney is Edwardian terraces, riverside. The dominant stock — edwardian terraces, victorian villas, mansion blocks — has specific constraints and opportunities for mansard roof extensions. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.

A mansard roof extension in Putney is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Wandsworth Council.
