Local knowledge of Old Bexley, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Old Bexley
Old Bexley is the historic heart of the borough, a village-like area with a traditional high street, older buildings and a strong sense of place. The River Cray and green open space are close by.
Diagram X is an AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) consultancy, so we can advise on design, structure and delivery together. Work in Old Bexley tends to be careful, detailed and sympathetic to the setting.
Planning in Old Bexley
Old Bexley is a conservation area, and an Article 4(2) direction applies here. That means some changes that would normally not need permission, such as certain alterations to the front of a house, do require an application.
Many buildings are old or may be listed. We check designation and history before starting design, and where listed building consent is needed we prepare the heritage information to support it.
Refurbishing in Old Bexley
Older buildings need to be understood before they are changed. A careful survey identifies what is original, what has been altered and what the structure can take.
A confidently modern result is always the starting assumption for the parts of a home that can change, and we treat the historic fabric with care where they cannot.
Construction in Old Bexley
Work to older buildings calls for specialist input and good communication with the builder. We specify materials and methods that suit the building and the conservation setting.
Resolving structural and architectural questions early reduces the risk of surprises, which is especially valuable on historic properties.
