Green Street Green sits south of Orpington, between Locksbottom and Chelsfield, and its homes range from post-war flats to some of the oldest buildings in BR6. We introduce a vetted local fitter who surveys your bathroom, plans the access and quotes in writing.
Call 020 7946 0123 or send a short enquiry. The survey and quote are free.
Parking on the High Street
Paid parking on Green Street Green High Street runs Monday to Saturday, 8.30am to 5pm, with a three-hour maximum stay (RingGo location 5998). A bathroom refit is a full-day job for several days, so the van needs a better plan than moving every three hours. The usual option is a bay suspension, applied for through Bromley's permit portal at least three working days ahead. A skip in a restricted bay needs one too, applied for by a council-registered skip company.
Flats above shops and shared access
Several High Street buildings combine a shop on the ground floor with a flat above, and some, such as the Old School House, reach the first-floor home by a separate side entrance. For a bathroom in a flat like this, the survey should cover how a bath or shower tray gets up the stairs, where the waste runs through the building, and whether the shop below needs notice of noisy work or a water shut-off. An en-suite or shower room layout is often easier to fit than a full-size bath in these rooms.
Post-war flats and later-life bathrooms
Brittenden Close and Wardensfield Close is a retirement scheme of 84 flats, built in 1950 and renovated in 2009. Schemes like this often have management rules on contractors and working hours, so check with the scheme manager before booking. Where a resident needs a safer bathroom, a bath to shower conversion or a level-access shower is a common request. Our disabled bathrooms guide explains grants and VAT relief.
Historic buildings and Green Belt on the High Street
Chelsfield Hall Farmhouse, on the High Street at Green Street Green, is Grade II listed, with parts dating from the eighteenth century and the seventeenth century or earlier. A 2025 planning appeal decision found that the original eighteenth-century stable there also forms part of the listed building, and confirmed the site is in the Metropolitan Green Belt. The same inspector noted an unadopted, poorly surfaced slip-road approach, with parked cars narrowing the carriageway. For a listed home, any change to historic fabric, including a new bathroom, may need listed building consent. Check with Bromley Council before work is priced.
Typical prices for each kind of job are in our bathroom costs guide.
