Lewisham covers SE4, SE6, SE8, SE13, SE14, SE23 and SE26, and it is hillier than people expect. Forest Hill, Telegraph Hill and the slopes towards Sydenham are built on ground that falls away, which shapes gardens, drainage and foundations. The housing is mostly late-Victorian and Edwardian: bay-fronted terraces, larger villas on the hills, and pockets of postwar infill where wartime damage was cleared. Knowing which of those you own tells you a great deal about what the walls are made of and what an extension will cost to found properly.
A rear extension on a sloping plot is a different proposition from one on a flat site. Levels have to be resolved between the existing floor and the garden, retaining structures may be needed at the boundary, and surface water has somewhere to go whether or not you plan for it. Getting that right at design stage avoids a damp threshold two winters later.
Foundation depth is the other consequence. Clay subsoil, mature trees and sloping ground all push the design, and it is the structural engineer who determines what is required. We excavate and build to their detail, and Lewisham Council building control inspects the excavation before concrete goes in. That inspection is a fixed point in the programme and we book it rather than working around it.

FAQ
A structural engineer determines the depth and design, taking account of the clay subsoil, any nearby trees and the fall across the site. We then excavate and build to that design. Building control inspects the open excavation before concrete is poured, and again once the damp proof course and structure are in place.
