Prime Build Works Limited

Builders in Crystal Palace

Extensions, loft conversions, roofing and full home refurbishments across SE19 and the surrounding streets.

Prime Build Works builds for homeowners across Crystal Palace, covering the SE19 postcode and the streets around it. Crystal Palace is largely Victorian terraces and grand Victorian villas, many converted into flats, alongside 1930s semis and newer apartment blocks, so rear extensions, loft conversions and period refurbishments are the sort of work we do here regularly. We run every stage in-house, from the first site visit through planning and building control to the final handover, so you deal with one team the whole way.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about building work in Crystal Palace

Which areas of Balham do you cover?

All of it. We work across the SE19 postcode and into SE20 towards Anerley and Penge, including the Triangle, Upper Norwood, Gipsy Hill and the roads around Crystal Palace Park.

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

Crystal Palace straddles five boroughs, so the first thing we do is confirm which council your street sits in. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but there are conservation areas around the park and the Triangle where the rules are tighter, and we handle the planning application if one is needed.

How long does a loft conversion take?

A standard dormer loft conversion in a Crystal Palace 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. A lot of Crystal Palace is Victorian villas converted into flats. 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.
