Extensions & Loft Conversions in West Wickham
In West Wickham and across Bromley we are most often asked for two-storey side and rear extensions and bungalow loft conversions. A substantial part of the borough is Green Belt, where extensions and outbuildings are judged more strictly than in built-up areas. Chislehurst, Petts Wood and other estates have conservation area or special residential character status that covers front boundaries and driveways.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in West Wickham
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in West Wickham?
Yes. West Wickham is in Bromley, where we work every week alongside Bromley, Beckenham, Orpington and Chislehurst.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, which has size limits and does not apply to flats, maisonettes or some conservation areas. We check your property at the site visit and tell you which route applies before you spend anything on drawings.
How long does an extension take?
A typical single-storey rear extension takes around 10 to 14 weeks on site once approvals are in place. A loft conversion is usually 8 to 12 weeks. We give you a written programme with the quote so you know what happens each week.
Can we live in the house during the work?
Usually yes. We seal off the working area, keep a kitchen and bathroom running wherever possible, and agree the noisy or dusty days with you in advance.
