FAQs — Building Services in Sidcup

Do you cover all parts of Sidcup, including Blackfen and Foots Cray?

Yes — we work across the whole Sidcup area, including Blackfen, Foots Cray, Longlands, Albany Park, Marlborough Park, and surrounding parts of DA14 and DA15. If you’re unsure whether your property is within our service area, just ask — we’re always happy to confirm.

Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion in Sidcup?

Some projects fall under permitted development, while others require planning approval from Bexley Council. We can advise on what applies to your property and handle the entire planning process — including architectural drawings, structural calculations, and submitting your application.

Will a house extension or loft conversion add value to my Sidcup home?

Yes — Sidcup property values are strong, and well-designed extensions and loft conversions typically increase value significantly, especially on 1930s semis and Victorian terraces. Many clients add £60k–£120k+ to their home’s value after the work is completed.

Do you manage building control approval?

Yes — we work directly with Bexley Building Control to ensure your project is compliant, inspected at each stage, and fully signed off upon completion.

What warranties do you provide?

All work includes a standard workmanship guarantee, and we also offer optional long-term guarantees for additional peace of mind. We can discuss these during your quotation.

How much does a house extension cost in Sidcup?

Costs depend on size, design, and structural requirements, but most single-storey extensions in Sidcup fall between £45,000–£75,000, and double-storey extensions typically start from £70,000–£120,000. After a site visit, we’ll give you a detailed, itemised quote with no hidden extras.

How long does a loft conversion take in Sidcup?

Most loft conversions take 6–10 weeks, depending on the design (dormer, hip-to-gable, L-shaped, etc.). Before starting, we provide a clear schedule so you know exactly what to expect at each stage.

Can you help with design and architectural drawings?

Absolutely. We handle everything from initial concept to detailed architectural plans, structural engineering calculations, and building control submissions. You won’t need to find external designers unless you want to.

Can you work with existing plans from my architect?

Yes — many Sidcup homeowners come to us with plans already prepared. We’ll review them, provide feedback if needed, and proceed with construction exactly to specification.
