Victorian terraces near Bromley South station often squeeze modern vehicles into impossibly tight spaces. Meanwhile, homes around Sundridge Park might have generous plots but outdated single-car driveways that don't match current household needs.
Extension work begins with careful drainage assessment - crucial given Bromley's clay-heavy soil. Ground preparation involves excavating to appropriate depths, installing proper sub-base materials, then creating seamless connections to existing surfaces.
