Expert full home renovation services in Balham, SW12. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Wandsworth.
A full home renovation in Balham takes a Victorian terrace that needs work and turns it into the family home you have been dreaming of. SOM Development manages every aspect of the process—design, planning, structural works, services, finishes, and landscaping—delivering a complete, move-in-ready home.
Balham's Victorian terraces are the perfect canvas for a whole-house renovation. The typical project involves opening up the ground floor into a single living-kitchen space, adding a side-return or rear extension, converting the loft for an additional bedroom and bathroom, rewiring and re-plumbing throughout, and finishing every room with quality materials and considered design.
We approach full renovations as design projects, not just building works. From the initial layout sketches through to the selection of door handles, light fittings, and paint colours, every decision is part of a coherent vision for your home. Our design team works with you to establish this vision early, and our construction team executes it with precision.
Balham full renovations are demanding projects that require careful coordination of multiple trades over several months. Our project management systems—dedicated site foreman, weekly client updates, fixed-price contracts, and rigorous quality control—ensure the process is as smooth and predictable as possible.
Balham's property market rewards comprehensive renovation. Fully modernised terraces with open-plan kitchens, loft conversions, and quality finishes command significantly higher prices than unrenovated equivalents. For buyers who purchase a property in need of work, a full renovation creates substantial equity while delivering a home tailored to their exact requirements.
Our Balham clients are typically families who have found the right location and the right structure, and need a renovation partner to create the right home. We provide the design vision, construction expertise, and project management that makes this transformation possible.
“SOM did everything on our Balham terrace—loft conversion, side-return extension, knocked through the ground floor, new kitchen, two new bathrooms, rewired, re-plumbed, new floors, new garden. Six months of work, all on budget, and the result is perfection. This is exactly the house we wanted.”

Three simple steps to your new full home renovation in Balham.
We carry out a thorough survey of your property, discuss every room in detail, and create a phased renovation plan tailored to your budget.
You receive an in-depth, room-by-room quotation covering all trades, materials, and a realistic project timeline with defined milestones.
Our multi-trade team works through each phase systematically — from first fix to finishing — with regular progress updates and quality checks.
A comprehensive renovation of a typical Balham terrace takes 4-6 months. Projects that include extensions and loft conversions are at the longer end of this range. We provide a detailed programme at the start and manage to it rigorously.
A full renovation is almost always more cost-effective than a series of separate projects. You avoid duplicate setup costs, scaffolding charges, and the inefficiency of working around previously finished areas. The design is also more coherent when planned as a single scheme.
While we do not act as estate agents, we can assess properties you are considering purchasing. We provide a renovation feasibility report covering structural potential, likely costs, and planning constraints, helping you make an informed buying decision.
