Builders and renovators in South Woodford.
South Woodford is where we carried out the Arundel project: a full house refurbishment with a double storey extension and a new loft. CAP designs and builds extensions, lofts, basements and full refurbishments across South Woodford, with one team from planning through to aftercare.
What a project in South Woodford usually involves.
South Woodford is a mix of ordinary residential streets and pockets of conservation area, so what can be built without a full planning application changes from one road to the next.
The properties we are asked about in South Woodford are mostly Victorian and Edwardian family houses and inter-war semis. Around George Lane, the edge of Epping Forest and Woodford Green, the character of the street shapes what can be built, and we design to suit it.
Planning applications in South Woodford are decided by Redbridge Council. Whatever the project, we check which consents your property needs before recommending any spend on drawings.

Building in South Woodford.
Do you work in South Woodford?
Yes. South Woodford (E18) is about 14 miles from our base on Mitcham Lane in Streatham, and the work we are asked about there is mostly on Victorian and Edwardian family houses and inter-war semis.
Do I need planning permission to extend or alter a property in South Woodford?
It depends on the street. Outside the conservation areas, many rear extensions and loft conversions to houses in South Woodford can be built under permitted development, and a lawful development certificate confirms it. Inside a conservation area, or for a flat, a planning application is usually needed. We check which applies to your address first.
Which council decides planning applications in South Woodford?
Redbridge Council. Building regulations approval can come from the council's building control team or from a registered building control approver, and we arrange whichever suits the project.
What kind of properties do you work on in South Woodford?
