From Victorian terraces near the Village to period homes in the Cator Estate, we deliver loft conversions, house extensions and full home renovations for Blackheath homeowners who want the job done properly — by a team that knows the area, knows the properties, and has a track record here to show for it.

Local Insight: Blackheath's Dual Borough Nuance

Local Insight: Blackheath’s Dual Borough Nuance

Blackheath sits across two planning authorities — properties in SE3 fall under either the London Borough of Greenwich or the London Borough of Lewisham depending on exact location. The two councils have different planning policies, different conservation area designations, and different approaches to permitted development. A rear extension that qualifies as permitted development under one authority may require a full planning application under the other.

We’ve worked across both boroughs for years. We know which streets fall under which authority, how each planning department operates, and what each expects from an application. We confirm the correct jurisdiction for your property at the site visit stage and manage the entire process from there — planning, building control and party wall agreements where needed.

The kind of local knowledge that doesn’t show up in a brochure but makes a real difference to how smoothly a project runs.
