Victorian properties throughout SE13 often hide surprising garden depths beneath tangled ivy and crumbling walls. Local renovation specialists understand these mature plots require more than surface-level tidying. Structural assessments reveal hidden features worth preserving whilst identifying drainage issues common to Lewisham's clay-heavy soil. Each project balances respect for original character with contemporary functionality.
Renovation begins with careful excavation and clearance, exposing the bones of your existing space. Heavy clay requires specific amendments before installing proper drainage systems. New boundaries replace rotting fences, whilst retained mature trees provide instant impact. Modern materials complement period properties without jarring against neighbouring gardens typical of Catford and Blackheath borders.
Twenty years renovating Lewisham gardens builds genuine local knowledge. From navigating conservation area restrictions to sourcing reclaimed London stock bricks, experience matters when transforming neglected spaces.
