Lewisham and the wider south-east London boroughs are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing — exactly the homes where side-return extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments make the biggest difference to how a family lives. TrustBuilt Projects works across Lewisham, Catford, Brockley, Forest Hill, Hither Green and Blackheath.
Most of Lewisham's housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with handsome conservation areas in Brockley, Hither Green, Blackheath and parts of Forest Hill. Side-return and rear extensions are the most common projects on these terraces — opening a narrow galley kitchen into a bright, open-plan family space. Period restoration is in steady demand around Blackheath and Brockley's conservation streets, while Deptford and New Cross are seeing heavy renovation as the area regenerates.

Side-return and rear extensions. Most of Lewisham's terraces have a narrow side return beside the kitchen — filling it in creates a wide, open-plan kitchen-diner, the single most popular renovation in the area. L-shaped loft conversions are a close second.
Many side-return extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development. Conservation areas — Brockley, Blackheath, Hither Green and parts of Forest Hill — and any property that has lost its PD rights will need a full planning application. We advise on this at the free site visit.
