Builders and Carpenters in Chelsfield
Everwood Construction is a building and carpentry contractor working in Chelsfield and the surrounding area, with over two decades of experience.
Building and Carpentry in Chelsfield
Interwar houses have a few things in common, and our experienced team knows them well. Cavity walls arrived patchily, so some houses are solid brick behind their render, original floors are usually suspended timber, and bay windows, porches and timber eaves need skilled carpentry when they start to wear, and our own carpenters are well used to repairing them. Our carpentry is carried out by our own skilled people, so those repairs are done to a high standard. In the old village the housing is older and more protected, with cottages and farm buildings inside the 1972 conservation area, where repairs are expected to match what is already there. Listed properties need consent for alterations, and on those we are happy to work alongside your architect or heritage designer, who leads on the paperwork while we look after the building and carpentry.
Homes in Chelsfield
The two halves of Chelsfield sit under different planning rules. Around the station, Chelsfield Park is designated an Area of Special Residential Character in the Bromley Local Plan, and its road layout and plot sizes are protected by covenant, so extensions are judged on how well they sit within that spacious, tree lined pattern. New Chelsfield runs into Green Street Green and Goddington, ordinary suburban streets where permitted development covers a good deal of what our clients want to do. The old village east of Court Road is different again. It has been a conservation area since 1972 and is surrounded by green belt, which has kept the fields around it open.

Chelsfield: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the BR6 postcode?
Yes. Everwood Construction works throughout Chelsfield and the surrounding area, covering BR6.
Which areas near Chelsfield do you cover?
As well as Chelsfield we work in Orpington, Farnborough (Kent), Shoreham and the rest of the surrounding area across Kent and South East London.
What should I know about building work in Chelsfield?
The work we are asked for follows that split. On the estate side our clients ask us for kitchen extensions, loft conversions with rear dormers, garages turned into living space and whole house refurbishments of dated 1930s interiors. In the village and out towards Pratt's Bottom and Chelsfield Hill, our clients more often ask us for sensitive renovation, replacement joinery, repairs to outbuildings and the occasional garden building. Access is rarely a problem because most houses have their own drives, but we still plan deliveries around school times on Court Road and we keep every site tidy and respectful of your neighbours on the estate roads.
What sort of homes do you work on in Chelsfield?
The station side of Chelsfield is classic interwar Kent fringe housing. Homesteads Ltd began developing land near the station in 1925, and the roads filled through the 1930s with detached and semi detached houses, many of them designed by the local architect George Rose along garden suburb lines. Chelsfield Park is the purest example, with around 370 houses set across 81 hectares and gaps of six to ten metres or more between neighbours. For your home that means room to grow. Side extensions, double storey additions and detached garden rooms are all physically possible here in a way they rarely are closer to London, and the hipped 1930s roofs convert very well.
