House Extension in Greenwich — Rear, Side-Return & Wraparound

This Greenwich page is for a house extension on georgian terraces & modern developments around SE10: photographs, access and the full unit postcode decide the next written step. Rear, side-return and wraparound options scoped for structure, drainage, junctions and planning path. Period fabric around Greenwich often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — structure, weatherproofing, stairs or junctions, and consent path must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name. House extension decisions in Greenwich should treat “Greenwich context” as a prompt, not a survey: Greenwich's UNESCO World Heritage Site — encompassing the Royal Naval College, National Maritime Museum, and Royal Observatory — defines the area's character. Maritime Greenwich Conservation Area can affect visible external work; formal consent stays with the responsible authority for the exact address. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
