Our surveyors cover Lewisham and the surrounding Lewisham area. The area is accessible via Lewisham (DLR and National Rail), Catford Bridge (National Rail), and our team carries out regular inspections across Lewisham SE13.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning, conservation and geological sources, together with the statutory fire-safety framework these instructions run on: Lewisham conservation areas; Lewisham Article 4 directions; BGS Geology of Britain viewer; Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; Building Safety Act 2022; Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
