This page covers the eastern part of the borough — Rotherhithe, South Bermondsey, Surrey Quays and Canada Water fringe and the streets around them. The stock here is largely docklands new-build, converted wharves and Victorian terraces, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Southwark Council.
The Rotherhithe conservation area and the Canada Water regeneration shape the east, where dock-side flats and period terraces call for different design and Building Control routes. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the eastern Southwark streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
