Building and Carpentry in Blackfen
These houses give you plenty of scope to add space. The hipped roof of a Thirties semi converts beautifully once a hip to gable and rear dormer are added, turning two storeys into three and giving you a double bedroom with an en suite. The long rear gardens leave room for a kitchen diner extension without losing the lawn, and the boxy original layouts respond well to structural openings between the kitchen and dining room. We also carry out plenty of straightforward refurbishment work in Blackfen, including renewing rotten bay windows, replacing tired staircases, sorting out damp and cold spots, and bringing underused rooms back into everyday use for your family.
Homes in Blackfen
Blackfen sits between Danson Park and the A2, with Blackfen Road running through the middle and the shopping parades along it. We work on streets right across the area, and many of the street names come from the old farms and estates. Days Lane was recorded as a farm in the 1600s, Westwood Lane gave its name to one of the Leech estates, and the Blendon estate to the west was developed from 1929. Danson Park, once the grounds of the railway entrepreneur Alfred Bean's estate, survives as one of Bexley's finest green spaces and gives the western streets a lovely outlook, and we keep that setting in mind when we plan a rear extension or dormer for a home nearby.

Blackfen: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the DA15 postcode?
Yes. Everwood Construction works throughout Blackfen and the surrounding area, covering DA15.
Which areas near Blackfen do you cover?
As well as Blackfen we work in Sidcup, Welling, Falconwood and the rest of the surrounding area across Kent and South East London.
What should I know about building work in Blackfen?
There is no station in Blackfen itself, which keeps the streets quieter than neighbouring Sidcup and Welling, and most houses have a driveway or roadside space for a skip and deliveries, so site logistics are rarely a worry for our clients. On planning, this is standard suburban Bexley. The interwar streets are not in a conservation area, so loft conversions and single storey rear extensions can often go ahead under permitted development within the usual limits. Larger wraparounds and two storey additions need a full application to the London Borough of Bexley, which your own architect or designer will prepare along with the drawings, and once the council has confirmed approval we build to exactly what has been agreed, so you always know where your project stands.
What sort of homes do you work on in Blackfen?
Most homes in Blackfen are semi detached houses built between the wars. After the Danson estate was broken up in 1922, developers such as C R Leech, D C Bowyer and New Ideal Homesteads covered the fields on either side of Blackfen Road with three bedroom family houses. You can expect bay fronts, hipped roofs, timber suspended floors and early cavity walls, along with some common features of 1930s construction, such as modest original footings, softwood roof structures and services that have usually been altered several times since. None of this is a problem for an experienced team, and our years of working on homes of this era mean we know what to look for before work begins.
