Question 1

What is the most popular extension type on Victorian terraces in Brixton and Clapham?

Accepted Answer

Single-storey rear extensions opening the original narrow kitchen onto the garden — typically adding a glazed kitchen-dining room of 8–16 m² — are the most popular structural project across SW2, SW4 and SW9. In combination with a full kitchen refit, these extensions are among the highest-value improvements for Victorian terraces in Lambeth. TB&D Construction handles the structural calcs, party-wall notices and building regulations as part of the extension build.

Question 2

Are there areas in Lambeth with conservation restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Kennington (SE11) has Georgian and early-Victorian conservation areas around Cleaver Square. Clapham Old Town (SW4) is also designated. In these areas, Article 4 directions may remove permitted development rights for front extensions, roof alterations and changes to windows. Internal renovations and rear extensions typically remain permitted. TB&D checks the planning position for every Lambeth address on the first site visit.

Question 3

How much does a rear extension cost on a two-storey Victorian terrace in Lambeth?

Accepted Answer

A single-storey rear extension of 10–15 m² on a Lambeth Victorian terrace typically costs £40,000–£65,000 including structure, roofing, glazing and finish. Combined with a full kitchen refit, the project typically runs £60,000–£95,000. TB&D provides an itemised breakdown covering all trades within 48 hours of the free site visit.

Question 4

What party-wall obligations arise on extensions in the tightly packed Victorian terrace streets of Brixton and Clapham?

Accepted Answer

The Victorian terraces in SW2, SW4 and SW9 are typically narrow mid-terrace properties — a rear extension in these streets involves building along two shared party walls simultaneously and requires notices served on both adjoining owners. TB&D Construction manages the multi-notice process and coordinates with the neighbours' surveyors where any party-wall award is required before work can begin.

Question 5

What types of renovation projects does TB&D Construction specialise in across the Lambeth borough?

Accepted Answer

In Lambeth, TB&D Construction's most frequent project types are rear single-storey kitchen extensions opening Victorian terraces in SW2, SW4 and SW9 onto the garden, dormer loft conversions adding full bedrooms and en-suites, and full house renovations combining structural and fit-out works. TB&D also handles full flat renovations in the apartment blocks around Vauxhall (SE11), period restoration in the Kennington conservation area, and boiler replacements via our Gas Safe registered partner. TB&D carries £1m PL and £5m EL insurance and holds a 9.92/10 Checkatrade rating.
