Builders and Carpenters in Belvedere
Everwood Construction is a building and carpentry contractor working in Belvedere and the surrounding area, with over two decades of experience.
Building and Carpentry in Belvedere
The postwar and later housing towards the north and east of Belvedere has cavity walls, concrete floors and, in many cases, trussed roofs. These homes are simpler to work on structurally, but a trussed roof usually means the loft is not available for conversion. The most useful additions are therefore a rear extension, or a garage conversion where the house has one, and we are happy to talk through which will give you the most for your budget.
Homes in Belvedere
The ground close to the river is lower and softer than the higher ground inland, and a small number of properties in Belvedere sit within a flood zone. This does not stop a project going ahead, but it does change how a ground floor is designed and built. It is worth checking the flood map for your address before any work is planned, so there are no surprises once work begins on site.
Rear yards in Belvedere are often north facing, which is well worth thinking about before an extension is designed. A rooflight or a glazed section in the right place makes far more difference to how a north facing kitchen feels than another square metre of floor, and it usually costs less. We talk this through with you before work starts so the finished room is as bright and welcoming as it can be.
Working in the Local Area
Belvedere runs between the river and Lessness Heath, with Belvedere station at its centre, Erith to the east and Abbey Wood to the west. Franks Park and Lesnes Abbey Woods sit just inland, and our team knows the streets around them well, so we can give you clear and realistic advice about what suits your home.
Most of our work in Belvedere is inside the house: opening up terraces, refitting kitchens and bathrooms, replacing staircases and fitting joinery into rooms that are often small. Extensions happen where the plot allows, but the yards behind the terraces are often small, so we help you make the most of the space you already have before adding to it.
Access in the terraced streets is frequently through the front door only. We agree how materials and waste will move in and out before we start, and we protect the route through your home. Clear communication about the programme means you always know what is happening and when.

Belvedere: Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know about building work in Belvedere?
Many rear yards here are taken up by the original outrigger and a later lean to that was never insulated. Taking down the lean to and building a proper rear extension in its place may gain only a little floor area, but it transforms the room completely. The old lean to is usually cold and dark, and the new extension is warm, light and usable all year round.
What sort of homes do you work on in Belvedere?
The Victorian terraces in Belvedere have solid brick walls, lath and plaster ceilings, small rear yards and original layouts of small separate rooms. Opening the ground floor into one larger space is the change our clients ask us for most often. It needs properly sized steels and structural calculations from your own engineer, and we build to that design so the new opening is safe, solid and finished to a high standard.
