Extensions & Loft Conversions in Kidbrooke
In Kidbrooke and across Greenwich we are most often asked for loft conversions on terraces in Plumstead and Charlton and driveways and extensions for semis in Eltham. Greenwich town centre is part of a World Heritage Site and, with Blackheath and parts of Eltham, is covered by conservation areas with close control of external works. New-build flats usually need managing agent approval for flooring changes and internal alterations.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Kidbrooke
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Kidbrooke?
Yes. Kidbrooke is in Greenwich, where we work every week alongside Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltham and Charlton.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, which has size limits and does not apply to flats, maisonettes or some conservation areas. We check your property at the site visit and tell you which route applies before you spend anything on drawings.
How long does an extension take?
A typical single-storey rear extension takes around 10 to 14 weeks on site once approvals are in place. A loft conversion is usually 8 to 12 weeks. We give you a written programme with the quote so you know what happens each week.
Can we live in the house during the work?
Usually yes. We seal off the working area, keep a kitchen and bathroom running wherever possible, and agree the noisy or dusty days with you in advance.
