What we build in Slade Green
Most Slade Green projects we scope fall into three buckets: a side-return or rear infill that fixes a dark galley kitchen, a full-width rear extension that opens the ground floor to the garden, and a rear-plus-loft package that adds a bedroom while the scaffold is already up. 1930s semis and detached homes, some post-war.
Extension costs in Slade Green
A mid-spec 25 m² extension in Slade Green typically lands between £89,000 and £139,000 all-in — that figure includes professional fees, planning and Building Control, party wall, a 12% contingency and VAT at 20%. Ex-VAT build rates run £2625–£4000 per m² depending on glazing, structural spans and kitchen spend.

Planning permission in Slade Green
One of London's easiest boroughs for PD extensions.
Before you assume permitted development applies to your street, check whether your street falls inside a conservation area or an Article 4 direction — both are common in Bexley and both remove PD rights for rear and side extensions. Our London planning guide walks through the tests in order.
Party wall and neighbours
Semi-detached — one party wall notice typical.
Serve notice at least two months before you break ground. Budget £1,200–£2,400 per adjoining owner if they dissent and appoint their own surveyor — see the Party Wall Act guide.
Access, logistics and site set-up
Tight on-street parking means bay suspensions and timed deliveries — your builder should price this, not absorb it.
Every quote we issue for Slade Green prices skip permits, parking suspensions, protection and welfare explicitly in the preliminaries — so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Value added in Slade Green
Light and layout move value here more than raw square metres — spend on glazing and ceiling height.
