Building and Carpentry in Longfield
Roofs vary from one street to the next. The older houses tend to have cut timber roof structures, which usually convert well into a bedroom or a home office, while the newer estate housing is more likely to have trussed rafters, which limits what a loft can offer. We always look at the roof before we price a conversion, so you get an honest answer about what your structure will give you.
Homes in Longfield
The newer estate housing around the village is generally built with cavity walls, concrete floors and trussed roofs. That is a simple and sound way to build, but it does mean the space inside is more or less fixed. A loft conversion is rarely possible in these houses, so the best options are a rear extension, a garage conversion or a garden room. On these plots there is normally plenty of garden left once a garden room is built, so you gain a room without losing your outdoor space.
Because the plots are so generous, a good many of the enquiries we receive from Longfield are about adding a garden office or gym as a separate building in the garden. We build these as proper small buildings, fully insulated and with a power supply, so you have a comfortable, usable room all year round.
Working in the Local Area
Deliveries are easier here than in the towns, which helps us keep the job on schedule. Most properties have a driveway and room for a skip, so handling materials is straightforward and the job tends to run to time. That makes life easier for you as well as for our team.
The station and the older village core sit close together, and the streets around them are tighter than the newer roads further out. Where access is limited we plan the material route and the skip position in advance, which keeps your job moving and keeps the road usable for your neighbours.

What should I know about building work in Longfield?
The village runs along Main Road and around the station, with New Barn immediately to the north west and Hartley to the south. The land surrounding the village is green belt, and that is the main planning constraint our clients in Longfield come across. We are used to working within it and will build exactly to your approved drawings.
What sort of homes do you work on in Longfield?
The housing in Longfield is mixed by era but fairly consistent in plot size. Most of the interwar and postwar detached and semi detached houses come with gardens that are deep and often wide, and that combination is why garden rooms and larger rear extensions come up so often in our work here. If you have the space, we can help you make good use of it.
