rcbGroup projectHouse Extensions in Plumstead — what to expect
Plumstead extensions are mostly rear additions on the terrace stock — 3–5m kitchen extensions are the standard. End-of-terrace properties in SE18 and SE2 can accommodate side return extensions. Planning in SE2 includes some proximity to the Lesnes Abbey conservation area.
Plumstead property types
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, post-war semis. The property type affects which extension approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.
