Prime Build Works Limited

Builders in Dulwich

Extensions, loft conversions, roofing and full home refurbishments across SE21, SE22 and the surrounding streets.

Prime Build Works builds for homeowners across Dulwich, covering the SE21 and SE22 postcodes. Dulwich runs from Georgian and grand Victorian houses in the Village to the Victorian terraces of East Dulwich and 1920s and 1930s homes, so side-return 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.

Where we work

Building work across Dulwich

We cover Dulwich and the streets around it across the SE21 and SE22 postcodes, from Dulwich Village and College Road to East Dulwich and Lordship Lane, West Dulwich and the North Dulwich Triangle. If your home is near Dulwich Park, the Picture Gallery or Lordship Lane, it is well within the area we work in.

Dulwich sits in the London Borough of Southwark, but much of it is also managed by the Dulwich Estate under its Scheme of Management. That means a lot of external work needs Dulwich Estate consent as well as council permission, so we check both before any work starts and handle the building control and party wall notices for you.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about building work in Dulwich

Which areas of Balham do you cover?

All of it. We work across the SE21 and SE22 postcodes, including Dulwich Village and College Road, East Dulwich and Lordship Lane, West Dulwich and the North Dulwich Triangle.

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

Dulwich has an extra step. As well as Southwark planning and any conservation area rules, much of Dulwich is managed by the Dulwich Estate, so external work often needs Estate consent too. We check both for your address before any work and handle the applications for you.

How long does a loft conversion take?

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

Do you work on flats as well as houses?

Yes. Dulwich has period conversions and some purpose-built flats alongside its houses. We take on refurbishments, kitchens and finishing work in both, subject to freeholder, lease and any Dulwich Estate conditions.

Are you insured?

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