Bexley · Kent
Builders in Bexley.
We're based in Bexley and work across the borough every week — extensions, renovations, loft conversions and full house refurbs on the kinds of homes that make up most of the area.
Local builders, doing local work.
Bexley is our home patch. The borough is dominated by inter-war and post-war semi-detached and terraced housing — Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, Erith, Crayford and Slade Green all have long stretches of 1930s 3-bed semis with shallow front gardens, deep rear gardens, and tile-hung gables that owners are starting to extend, convert and modernise in earnest.
We know these houses inside out: the typical foundation depths, the variable subsoil around the Cray valley, the standard rafter spans on a 1930s cut roof, the headroom you get on a typical hipped roof for a hip-to-gable conversion. That kind of local knowledge is the difference between a quote that holds up and one that surprises you on day one.
We work right across the London Borough of Bexley — Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, Erith, Belvedere, Slade Green, Crayford, Barnehurst, North Cray, Foots Cray and Thamesmead. Most of our work in the area comes from word of mouth between neighbours.

Local feedback
“Irinel and his team were amazing. Done a really good job with my extension. They were very polite and professional. No matter what you asked he was more than happy to accommodate and give advice on what works best. Definitely recommend and will be using again should I have future jobs.”

FAQ
Common questions from Bexley clients
- Do I need planning permission for an extension in Bexley?
- Many single-storey rear extensions on Bexley semis fall under permitted development, but there are exceptions — corner plots, conservation areas like Bexley Village, and properties subject to Article 4 directions. We check every project at the free site visit and let you know straight away.
- How long does a typical Bexley loft conversion take?
- On a standard 1930s Bexley semi with a hipped roof, a hip-to-gable conversion with rear dormer typically runs 10–14 weeks on site. We've done dozens locally and we can show you finished examples in your road if you'd like to see one in person.
- Will you handle Bexley Council's building control?
- Yes — we manage the building control sign-off process throughout, whether through Bexley Council direct or via an approved inspector. All certificates are handed over at completion.
- Are you actually based in Bexley?
- Yes — Wembley Construction Kent is a Bexley-based family firm. Local rates, local response times, and most of our team live within ten miles of the borough.
