Question 1

What does a full kitchen and bathroom refit cost in a new-build Elephant and Castle flat (SE1 or SE17)?

Accepted Answer

Refitting a kitchen and bathroom in a new-build or converted apartment across SE1 and SE17 — new units, new sanitary ware, fresh flooring, updated joinery, any electrical or plumbing the condition of the flat requires — generally runs from £28,000 to £65,000. Relocating a bathroom, removing a partition wall or specifying a high-end kitchen finish lifts the total toward the upper end. Every figure in the quote is a separate priced item, presented on the day of the site visit, so each element can be confirmed or swapped before work starts.

Question 2

Do Victorian terrace houses in Walworth and SE17 qualify for rear extensions under permitted development?

Accepted Answer

Most of the Victorian and Edwardian terrace rows across SE17, through Walworth and into the streets adjoining Kennington and Borough, sit under standard Southwark LPA permitted-development rules. A single-storey rear extension can typically proceed without a planning application provided it stays within the depth, height and materials limits and the property hasn't already used up its PD allowance. An Article 4 direction removes that right where one is in force. Party-wall notices to adjoining neighbours are a separate legal requirement in every case. We confirm your address's PD status at the survey and price the consent route as a standalone line item.

Question 3

What is involved in getting a licence to alter for a managed leasehold block in SE1?

Accepted Answer

Leasehold flats across the new and converted residential blocks in SE1 and SE17 typically need a formal licence to alter — written consent from the freeholder or management company — before structural or significant cosmetic work can begin. The process generally means submitting a schedule of works, drawings where structural changes are involved, and evidence of the contractor's insurance cover. Some buildings also impose restricted working hours and require all subcontractors to be approved in advance. PrimeCraft Surface Solutions holds full public and employers' liability insurance and provides all the documentation the block needs. We handle the submission process, co-ordinate any access conditions, and schedule trades within the approved window.
