Area 05 / 12 · Greater London
Interwar semis in Petts Wood and Orpington, Victorian houses in Beckenham, large homes in Chislehurst: extensions, lofts, kitchens and garden rooms.
Housing stock · Bromley
Bromley is the largest London borough by area, and its housing changes a lot from one end to the other. Bromley town, Shortlands, Beckenham and Penge have Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis. Petts Wood, Orpington, Hayes, West Wickham and Bromley Common are mostly interwar suburbs of semis and detached houses on wide plots. Chislehurst, Bickley and Keston have large detached houses and big gardens, and the south of the borough, around Downe and Biggin Hill, is green belt.
That spread shows in the work. The interwar houses have room on the plot, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and new kitchens and bathrooms are the common projects. The Victorian houses gain space in the side return and the roof, and their timber floors, staircases and doors often need as much attention as the new rooms. In the larger houses the garden is often where the next project is: a garden room or office, or a deck off the kitchen.
Bromley Council decides planning across the whole borough, but the rules that apply to your house depend on where it is: a conservation area, the green belt or an ordinary residential street. Choose the job on the sheet above for a guide price for the labour, excluding VAT, then send it on WhatsApp with your postcode and a few photos.

“We had [the team] fit our IKEA kitchen and honestly couldn't be happier. Day 1 they completely ripped out and disposed of the old kitchen, removed all the tiles and even got started on plastering — all while working non-stop and leaving the place clean and tidy at the end of the day. Day 2 all the IKEA cabinets were built and ready, plastering completed, and again everything left spotless with all rubbish taken away. …”

Questions · 5 · Bromley
Planning, party walls, skips and parking: the questions to settle before work starts. Anything else: call or message us.
Planning is handled by the London Borough of Bromley. Many single-storey rear extensions and lofts on houses are permitted development, within size limits; flats are not. Conservation areas are stricter, and in the green belt in the south of the borough extensions are judged against the size of the original house. A lawful development certificate confirms a project is allowed.
Often. Under permitted development a single-storey outbuilding is allowed if it stays behind the house, covers no more than half the garden, and is no more than 2.5 metres high within 2 metres of a boundary. It cannot be used as a bedroom. Conservation areas and listed houses have tighter rules.
Steels for a loft usually bear into the shared wall, which brings the work under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Your neighbour gets notice before work starts and can agree in writing or appoint a surveyor. We plan the steelwork stage around the notice period.
A skip or scaffold on the public road needs a licence from Bromley Council, and a parking bay suspension where the street is controlled, as it is around the town centres. A skip on your own drive needs no licence.
