Terraces, suburbs and town-centre flats
Victorian terraces sit closest to the centre, 1930s semis fill the suburbs further out, and the town centre itself has a growing stock of flats and maisonettes in low and high-rise blocks.
Loft conversions, extensions, renovations and roofing — plus flat and leasehold refurbishment in the town centre — designed, drawn and built by one in-house team.
Croydon · CR0
Our yard at Addington Business Centre is inside the borough — so we know which Croydon streets sit in conservation areas, which town-centre blocks need a full planning application rather than permitted development, and how the council's planning team likes drawings presented.
Thirty years in the borough does that — from the Victorian terraces near the centre to the flats above it.
Dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard and Velux, on Croydon's terraces, semis and town-centre flats.
ExploreSingle and double-storey, kitchen and wrap-around, side returns.
ExploreWhole-house refurbishments, kitchens and bathrooms, top to bottom.
ExploreNew roofs, re-roofing and repairs, often alongside a conversion.
ExploreDrawings, structural design and every submission to the borough.
ExploreLandlord and pre-sale works, brought up to a lettable standard.
ExploreThe stock here changes fast within a mile or two, and so does what the council will approve.
Victorian terraces sit closest to the centre, 1930s semis fill the suburbs further out, and the town centre itself has a growing stock of flats and maisonettes in low and high-rise blocks.
Permitted development rights only apply to houses. A flat or maisonette almost always needs a full planning application to Croydon Council, even for internal alterations that touch the structure.
Steel beams usually bear on the party wall, so notices go to your neighbours a couple of months ahead. On flats, the freeholder or management company often needs written consent too — we check both.
Large parts of Croydon sit inside controlled parking zones, and streets near the centre can be tight for a lorry. Skip permits and deliveries get planned around your road before we start.
Every build goes through full building regulations and ends with a completion certificate — the document a surveyor asks for later.

Most of what goes wrong on a build is a decision nobody made. Being nearby is how those get made the same day.

Yes — planning applications, lawful development certificates and building control all go in from us, and we chase them. You don't deal with the council at any point.
Permitted development rights only apply to houses. A flat or maisonette needs a full planning application for almost any extension or loft work, even changes that stay inside the existing walls. We check this at the survey and handle the submission.
Usually, yes. Most leases require written consent from the freeholder or managing agent before structural work, separate from planning permission and building control. We flag this early so it doesn't hold up the programme.
Yes — CR0 through to CR9, houses and flats alike, from the town centre out to Addiscombe, Shirley, Selsdon, South Norwood and Purley, along with the neighbouring towns we cover.
