The housing stock in Bromley

Bromley is largely inter-war and post-war suburban, with substantial 1930s semis and detached houses in Bickley, Shortlands and Chislehurst sitting on some of the deepest plots in South London. Bromley town centre and Beckenham add Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and there are pockets of large detached period houses on the approach roads.

Projects that suit Bromley homes

Plot depth is the defining feature here. Rear extensions can go further than they can in the inner boroughs, so single and double storey rear builds and wrap-arounds are common, and garden rooms are an easy win on the larger gardens. Hip-to-gable loft conversions suit the 1930s semi stock, frequently combined with a rear dormer for a full second floor.

Planning and building control in Bromley

Bromley Council covers planning and building control. The borough has a large number of conservation areas, particularly around Chislehurst and parts of Bickley, and several are protected by Article 4 directions. Larger plots also mean tree preservation orders come up more often here than elsewhere, which can affect where foundations go. We check both before we price.

Planning rules change and vary street by street. Nothing here is a substitute for checking your specific address with London Borough of Bromley, which is exactly what we do before pricing any job.

Questions

Working in Bromley

Do you cover all of Bromley?

Yes. We work throughout Bromley and the surrounding area, including Bromley town, Shortlands, Bickley, Chislehurst, Beckenham, West Wickham and Hayes. If your address is just outside, it is still worth asking.

Which council handles planning in Bromley?

London Borough of Bromley is the local planning authority for Bromley, and building control inspections are arranged through them or an approved inspector. We handle the coordination either way.

What does a site visit involve?

We come out, look at the property, talk through what you want to achieve and flag anything that will affect cost or feasibility. You then get a written, itemised estimate. There is no charge and no obligation.

How soon can you start in Bromley?

Lead times vary with the season and the size of the job. Call 020 3478 9174 and we will give you an honest answer on current availability rather than a booking date we cannot keep.
