Area 06 / 12 · Greater London
Victorian terraces, converted flats and newer homes around Rye Lane: kitchens, floors, side-return extensions and lofts.
Housing stock · Peckham
Peckham is mostly Victorian: long streets of terraced houses around Bellenden, Peckham Rye and towards Nunhead, many of them now split into flats. Around Rye Lane and Peckham High Street there are also post-war estates and newer blocks, so one postcode, SE15, covers very different homes.
In a whole terraced house the projects are the familiar London ones: a side-return extension to widen the kitchen, a dormer loft for another bedroom, and new floors throughout. In a converted flat most decisions start with the lease. Alterations usually need the freeholder’s consent, and many leases ask for acoustic underlay or carpet over hard floors so the flat below is not disturbed. Kitchens, bathrooms and floors are the usual jobs, done inside the flat’s own walls. In newer flats and estate homes the layout is set, so a new kitchen, doors and decoration make the difference.

“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 · Peckham
Planning, party walls, skips and parking: the questions to settle before work starts. Anything else: call or message us.
Start with the lease. Most need the freeholder's written consent for alterations, and many ask for acoustic underlay or carpet over hard floors so the flat below is not disturbed. Moving a kitchen or bathroom may also need consent for new waste runs. Building Regulations still apply to structural, electrical and drainage work.
Planning is handled by Southwark Council. Houses have permitted development rights for many lofts and rear extensions, within size limits; flats do not, so an extension to a flat needs planning permission. Several parts of Peckham, including streets around Rye Lane, are conservation areas, with stricter rules on anything that shows from the street.
Usually. The side return runs along the boundary, and new foundations next to the neighbour's or work on the shared wall come under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Notice goes to the neighbours before work starts; they can agree in writing or appoint a surveyor.
Many streets near Rye Lane and the stations have controlled parking. A skip or scaffold on the road needs a licence from Southwark Council, and a bay suspension may be needed for deliveries. In a flat with no front garden, a skip bag or a waste collection on the day can replace a skip.
