Covering Bexley
Bexley is about 13 miles east of London. We also cover Welling (2 miles to the north-west), Dartford and Swanley.
Homes in London
Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.
What is included in a kitchen extension in Bexley?
A kitchen extension is a single-storey extension designed around a new kitchen, usually creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens onto the garden. Planning the kitchen layout at the same time as the building means the drains, steels, windows and power end up where the kitchen needs them.
- Combined building and kitchen layout design
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

Do you need permission for a kitchen extension in Bexley?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary.
What can change the price or programme?
- Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
- Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

Is underfloor heating worth it?
In large open-plan rooms with big glazed doors it frees up wall space and heats evenly. We include it as an option.
Can you visit a house in Bexley to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
