GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about building work in Streatham

Which areas of Streatham do you cover?

All of it. We work across the SW16 postcode and Streatham Hill towards SW2, including Streatham High Road, Streatham Common, Streatham Vale and the roads towards Norbury and Furzedown.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Streatham?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but Streatham has several conservation areas and a lot of flats, where the rules are tighter. We check your address before any work and handle the planning application if one is needed.

How long does a loft conversion take?

A standard dormer loft conversion in a Streatham terrace usually takes around eight to ten weeks on site, depending on the design and whether you add an ensuite. You get a schedule with your quote.

Do you work on flats as well as houses?

Yes. Streatham has a lot of converted flats and 1930s blocks alongside its houses. We take on refurbishments, kitchens and finishing work in both, subject to freeholder and lease conditions.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and can send you the details before work starts.
