Bromley Builders

British weather does not forgive poor brickwork

Rain gets in. Frost pulls at mortar. Poorly laid foundations shift. We have seen it all across BR1, BR2 and out towards Crystal Palace. Bromley Builders handles the kind of structural and general building work that needs to last through every winter this country throws at it.

We cover the full range of residential building work. That includes groundworks and foundations from the ground up, structural alterations, brickwork and blockwork, plastering and rendering, loft conversions, and garage conversions. A new garage we finished recently near Orpington (the client had been parking on a churned-up patch of drive for three winters) came in on budget and dried out properly before the cold hit. That matters more than people realise.

Extensions, and the types worth knowing about

If you are thinking about extending, there are more options than most people expect. Here is what we build:

• Single-storey rear extensions
• Double-storey rear extensions
• Side return extensions
• Wrap-around extensions
• Front extensions
• Over-structure extensions built above garages or flat roofs
• Infill extensions slotting into unused corner plots
• Modular or prefabricated extensions
• Basement conversions and below-ground extensions

Each one sits differently on a plot. We look at the ground, the drainage, the existing walls. Soil conditions around Shortlands catch people out every year.

New builds and renovations

We take on full new builds and whole-house renovations. Blockwork, beam-and-block floors, cavity wall construction. However, the job we get called back to most often is patching up work done cheaply by someone else. That tells you something.

We work in concrete, engineering brick, dense aggregate block, sand and cement render, and insulated cavity systems. Not glamorous. Works.
