South London does not have one dominant house type the way the Bromley and Bexley suburbs do. Croydon alone runs from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis within a mile, and the right conversion changes with the street rather than the postcode. That is why we will not quote a type over the phone.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces through Penge, Peckham and East Dulwich usually have a rear addition, which opens up the L-shape. The interwar semis around Beckenham and West Wickham tend to have hipped roofs, where a hip to gable recovers the wasted end of the loft. Both are routine work for us, but they are different jobs with different costs.
Dulwich has extensive conservation area coverage, and the Dulwich Estate scheme of management applies to many properties on top of the council process. That is two separate approvals, not one, and it catches people out.
Elsewhere across Croydon and Bromley, most rear dormers and hip to gables on ordinary houses are permitted development. The exceptions are conservation areas, flats and maisonettes, listed buildings, and anything that changes the front roof slope. We check what applies to your specific address on the survey, because it is a street-by-street question rather than a borough-wide one.
One fixed written price, agreed before anyone starts and itemised, with no provisional sums that grow once the work is underway. Our own tradespeople on site rather than subcontractors, and one named project manager from the first visit through to building control sign-off, whose number you have.
The conversion comes with a ten-year written guarantee, and we can arrange an insurance-backed scheme in line with our terms if you want the extra protection. It is worth asking any other company you speak to whether they offer the same.
Each one has its own page covering the council, the housing stock and what tends to get approved locally.
