One coordinated plan connects the structure, services, carpentry, glazing, plastering, tiling and finishes. This makes responsibilities clearer and helps the work proceed in the right order.

House extensions

Rear, side-return and wraparound extensions designed around the existing structure, daylight, storage and how the new room will connect to the garden.

Loft conversions

Dormer, rooflight and hip-to-gable options considered against head height, stair position, roof form, neighbouring properties and planning constraints.

Structural alterations, services, insulation, plastering, flooring, decorating and fitted elements coordinated as one practical programme.

New builds

Planning and buildability

Planning across Clapham

Clapham crosses local-authority boundaries. Many addresses are within the London Borough of Lambeth, while the Clapham Junction side is within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The correct planning authority therefore depends on the address. Conservation areas and local restrictions around Clapham Common, Clapham Old Town and neighbouring streets can affect extensions, roof work, windows and external finishes.

Permitted development rights vary with the property and may be restricted. Building regulations are separate, and party-wall procedures may apply to shared walls, boundary work or nearby foundations. We coordinate the build with the drawings, structural design and approvals prepared for the property.

FAQ

Questions about building in Clapham

Which council handles planning in Clapham?

It depends on the address. Much of Clapham is in Lambeth, while the Clapham Junction side is in Wandsworth. The planning authority, conservation status and any local restrictions should be confirmed before the design is finalised.

Can you extend a Victorian terrace in Clapham?

Often, yes. Rear and side-return extensions are common, but the right design depends on the house, neighbouring properties, drainage, party walls, daylight and the planning position.

Do you work in Clapham flats as well as houses?

Yes. Flat renovations need early checks around the lease, freeholder consent, common parts, fire separation, services and permitted working arrangements.

How much does building work cost in Clapham?

Guide prices start from £60,000 plus VAT for a rear or side extension, £50,000 plus VAT for a loft conversion, £4,500 plus VAT for a kitchen or bathroom, £100,000 plus VAT for a larger renovation or conversion, and £1,200 plus VAT for bespoke joinery. The final quotation depends on the surveyed property, drawings, structure, specification, access and agreed scope.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on the scope, approvals, structural work, specification, access and whether the property remains occupied. We set out a realistic programme once the design information and scope are clear, rather than promising a generic duration before the project has been assessed.

Who provides gas and electrical certification?

Where gas or notifiable electrical work forms part of the project, it is carried out by appropriately registered subcontractors, who provide the relevant certification for their work.

What contract and guarantee do you provide?

Every project runs under a written, agreed contract. Completed Prohaus work comes with a 1-year guarantee, with the scope and any product-specific warranties recorded in the project documents.
