The Brockley building stock
Brockley is dominated by tall semi-detached three-storey Victorian villas in yellow London stock brick with red brick detail bands. Most have decorative gable ends, period bay windows, original mosaic-tile front pathways and cast iron railings. The conservation area covers most of the SE4 postcode district.
Working in Brockley conservation area
Lewisham Council requires conservation area consent for: replacement of sash windows, front door changes, removal or alteration of original mosaic tile pathways, replacement of front garden railings, alteration of chimney pots, and any rear extension visible from the public realm. We submit and manage all conservation area consents as part of project management. Our brief always covers like-for-like specification of period elements where consent for replacement is not granted.
Typical Brockley projects
A standard Brockley refurbishment is a full strip-out of a three-storey semi, side-return extension into the kitchen-dining space, optional loft conversion, period feature restoration (cornicing, ceiling roses, original floorboards, period fireplaces). The Brockley project gallery on our website covers a recent example — restored arched front entrance, original mosaic tile path, reinstated cast iron railings.
