What a measured survey gives a Seven Kings homeowner
You get existing floor plans, drawn to scale from measurements taken on site with a laser measure, for a fixed fee from £200. Every later drawing for the house, whether for an extension, a loft or a certificate, is drawn over that base.
The measured building survey service page describes the survey in full, and our pricing shows what the drawings after it cost.
A dimension record, not a condition report
Searches for building surveys in Seven Kings mix two different jobs. A condition survey reports on defects before you buy. A measured survey says how big each room, wall and opening is. If you want to know about damp or movement, ask a surveyor who inspects condition. If you want drawings, start here.
People also ask about right to light and topographic surveys. Those are separate specialist reports; tell us what you need on the enquiry form and we will say plainly whether it is something we do.

What Redbridge decided in a year
Redbridge made 991 householder decisions across the four quarters to June 2026, prior approvals included (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2).
Leaving prior approvals out, the council decided 96% of its householder applications within eight weeks (our analysis of the same table). Your own application depends on your drawings and your street, so treat these as the borough's pattern and not a forecast.
The Redbridge page for measured building surveys covers the whole borough.
Conservation areas to check before you design
The national planning data platform lists 19 live conservation-area entries for Redbridge (our analysis of MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area and article-4-direction datasets, bulk snapshot retrieved 14 August 2026). Councils publish to the platform unevenly, so the count is a guide. Check Redbridge's conservation area map, or ask the council, whether your Seven Kings road is inside one, because it changes what the drawings must show.
Scale and north on every plan
GOV.UK planning practice guidance on making an application says plans and drawings must be drawn to an identified scale and plans must show north. It gives 1:1250 as one of the two typical location plan scales. A measured survey is what lets your proposed plans meet that standard.
When you are ready to apply, see planning drawings for the next step, or floor plans if the plans alone are what you need.
