Builders in Dulwich
Loft conversions, extensions, refurbishments and full renovations across Dulwich and the surrounding area.
GP Construction works throughout Dulwich and the neighbouring areas, covering Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill and North Dulwich.
The housing stock in Dulwich
Dulwich Village retains Georgian and early Victorian houses alongside substantial detached villas, while East Dulwich is characterised by long runs of well-preserved Victorian terraces with rear outriggers. West Dulwich and Herne Hill add larger Victorian and Edwardian semis, and there are some notable pockets of mid-century housing.
Projects that suit Dulwich homes
East Dulwich terraces call for side return and wrap-around extensions and L-shaped rear dormers, and there is a strong appetite here for period-sympathetic refurbishment: restoring cornicing, panelling and sash windows while bringing insulation, wiring and heating up to modern standards. On the larger houses towards the Village the work runs to full refurbishments and double storey extensions.
Planning and building control in Dulwich
Dulwich falls under Southwark Council, and much of the area is covered by conservation areas. A significant part of Dulwich also sits within the Dulwich Estate scheme of management, which requires separate consent from the Estate in addition to any planning permission from the council. That is an extra step that catches people out, and we will flag it at the outset if your property is affected.
Planning rules change and vary street by street. Nothing here is a substitute for checking your specific address with Southwark Council, which is exactly what we do before pricing any job.
What we do in Dulwich
Working in Dulwich
Do you cover all of Dulwich?
Yes. We work throughout Dulwich and the surrounding area, including Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill and North Dulwich. If your address is just outside, it is still worth asking.
Which council handles planning in Dulwich?
Southwark Council is the local planning authority for Dulwich, 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 Dulwich?
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.
