Local to Orpington

We work in Orpington

We work across Orpington, Petts Wood, Farnborough, Green Street Green, Locksbottom and St Mary Cray. It is a short drive east from our Keston base, and many of our kitchen, bathroom and extension projects are in the family homes that make up much of the area.

Orpington households often want more space and a better layout rather than a move. We plan the extension, kitchen and connected rooms as one project and manage the trades ourselves, so you have one point of contact for the whole job.

Homes in Orpington

Much of Orpington and Petts Wood was built in the 1920s and 1930s, with large numbers of semi-detached houses, some with mock-Tudor detailing. There are also post-war estates, detached houses around Farnborough and Chelsfield, and newer developments. Petts Wood includes an area of special residential character where external changes need extra care.

30+ years' experience

Three decades of hands-on work behind every project, from small renovations to full-property schemes.

One point of contact

We cover the whole property, so you are not sifting through trade companies to find the right person for each job.

Our own project management

We plan, sequence and oversee the work ourselves, so trades arrive in order and the project keeps moving.

Trusted specialist network

We work with a network of experienced tradespeople and specialists, matched to what each job needs.

We have experience with the kinds of homes found in Orpington, and we plan each project around the property in front of us rather than a standard package. We work with contractors who hold public liability insurance.

Homeowners in Orpington usually come to us because they are tired of coordinating separate trades. A plumber who cannot start until the electrician has finished, a plasterer who is booked for the wrong week, a decorator who arrives before the joinery is fitted: these gaps are where projects stall and costs creep up. We remove them by planning the whole job ourselves and sequencing each trade so the work moves forward without you chasing anyone.

The same team that plans your project in Orpington also works across Bromley, Biggin Hill, Chislehurst, Sevenoaks and the wider region, so we understand the housing, ground conditions and planning considerations common to this part of south-east London, Kent and Surrey. You get a clear scope before work starts, one person to speak to while it is underway, and a walk-through at the end so nothing is left unfinished.

Local know-how

Common issues in Orpington homes

These are the things we plan for when renovating in Orpington. Spotting them at the start keeps the project on programme and avoids paying to redo work later.

Property types

1930s semis typically have a narrow kitchen at the back and a separate dining room. Extending and opening up the rear needs steelwork and careful planning so the new space feels part of the original house.

Ground and weather

Ground conditions vary across Orpington, with clay in some parts and chalk towards the Downs. Foundations for extensions have to be designed for the specific site rather than assumed.

Services and infrastructure

Many inter-war houses still have heating and electrics that have been patched over the years. Upgrading them during the renovation saves chasing out new walls later.

Building age

Houses approaching a hundred years old can have original timber windows, suspended floors and roof coverings near the end of their life. We look at these early so the renovation is not undone by an older defect.

Our process
