Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

How do I know if I need a CCTV drain survey?
Recurring blockages, slow-draining fixtures across the property, or unexplained damp near ground level are common signs. A CCTV survey identifies the exact cause and location before any excavation is planned.
Who is responsible for a blocked shared drain?
Shared drains serving more than one property are usually the responsibility of the water company, while private drains serving a single property are the owner's responsibility. We can advise on which applies once the drain run is surveyed.
