Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s stock
Close to the High Street you're mostly in Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which suit rear dormers and side returns. Further out the 1930s semis usually take a hip-to-gable.

Dartford · DA1
We know which Dartford streets sit inside the Town Centre Conservation Area around the High Street, Market Street and West Hill, how Dartford Borough Council's planning team likes drawings presented, and which of the borough's Victorian and Edwardian roofs take a dormer without a fight.
Thirty years working this side of town does that — the same faces turn up on your street that turned up on your neighbour's.

Close to the High Street you're mostly in Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which suit rear dormers and side returns. Further out the 1930s semis usually take a hip-to-gable.
Dartford's town centre — High Street, Market Street, Bullace Lane and West Hill — carries conservation area status, where permitted development is restricted. We check your address against Dartford Borough Council's conservation area maps before drawing anything.
Steel beams usually bear on the party wall, so notices go to your neighbours a couple of months ahead. We prepare and serve them.
Plenty of streets around the High Street are permit-controlled or too tight for a lorry. Scaffold, skip permits and deliveries get planned before we start.
Every build goes through full building regulations and ends with a completion certificate — the document a surveyor asks for later.

Usually, but the design changes. Permitted development is restricted on conservation area streets, so a rear dormer set back from the front slope or conservation-style roof lights is often the route rather than a boxy dormer. We check your address first.
We arrange the permits with the council and plan deliveries around the parking restrictions on your road. On the tighter streets near the High Street that means smaller, more frequent drops rather than one lorry.
