Expert full home renovation services in Clapham, SW4. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Lambeth.
A full home renovation in Clapham transforms a Victorian terrace from a collection of small, disconnected rooms into a flowing, contemporary family home while preserving the period features that give these properties their charm. SOM Development has the expertise to deliver this transformation efficiently and beautifully.
Our Clapham whole-house renovations address every aspect of the property. Structurally, we open up the ground floor, extend into the side return and rear, and convert the loft. Mechanically, we rewire, replumb, and install new heating systems. Aesthetically, we restore period details, install contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, lay new flooring, and decorate throughout to a cohesive design scheme.
The streets around Clapham Common, Abbeville Village, and Nightingale Lane contain terraces at every stage of renovation—from untouched originals to fully modernised homes. We understand exactly what works in these properties and how to maximise both living space and value. Our design team creates layouts that suit the Clapham lifestyle: sociable open-plan ground floors, generous master suites, and well-finished family bathrooms.
We manage the entire project through a single point of contact—your dedicated project manager coordinates all trades, manages all approvals, and ensures that the renovation progresses on programme and on budget from first-fix to final snag.
Clapham's Victorian terraces are consistently popular with families upgrading from flats and smaller properties. Many terraces on the market need full renovation, and buyers often prefer to purchase a property and commission a comprehensive renovation tailored to their specific needs.
The strong Clapham property market means that renovation costs are comfortably recouped through value uplift, and the area's excellent transport links, schools, and green spaces make it a neighbourhood where families settle long-term—making the investment in a thorough renovation worthwhile.
“We bought a wreck near Abbeville Village and SOM turned it into the most incredible family home. Open-plan kitchen, four bedrooms, two gorgeous bathrooms, and every Victorian detail restored. Six months from start to finish. Absolutely flawless.”

Three simple steps to your new full home renovation in Clapham.
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.
In most cases, buying a property that needs renovation and commissioning a full refurbishment is more cost-effective than buying a finished home to the same standard. It also gives you the freedom to design every element exactly as you want it.
Most internal works do not need planning permission. Extensions and loft conversions may need approval from Lambeth Council, and party-wall agreements are required where works affect shared walls. We manage all applications and agreements.
Absolutely—this is our speciality. We carefully remove and protect features during demolition, restore them during the renovation, and replicate any that have been lost. The result is a home that feels both authentically Victorian and thoroughly contemporary.
