What we take care of
- Two or three layout options to compare
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
- Structural calculations from an engineer (full pack)
The most expensive changes are the ones made after the steel is ordered. A good design stage settles layout, heights, glazing and services on paper, so the build price is firm.
Working in Peckham
We cover Peckham and the postcode districts SE5, SE14, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE22. Nearby, we also take on projects in New Cross (1 mile), Brockley (2 miles), Brixton (2 miles), Greenwich (3 miles).
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with a rear outrigger and a side return, and 1930s semis in the outer boroughs. Conservation areas are common, so the planning check comes first.
Planning rules that apply in Peckham
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
The planning position for a specific Peckham address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.

Yes. We cover Peckham and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Peckham?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do I need an architect?
