General Contractor Clapham
Renovations and extensions for Clapham homes
All Well Property Services
Saturday night. Heavy rain over the Common. A family in Old Town called, water coming through a kitchen light. Kids scared. We were close by, got there fast, made it safe, traced the leak, dried the ceiling, then came back Monday and rebuilt that corner clean. New downpipe, fresh plaster, warm lights. Calm house again. That’s what General Contractor Clapham means to us. Real homes. Quick help. Solid work.
We work across Clapham. North, South, Old Town, Abbeville Village, Clapham Park. Close to Stockwell, Battersea, Balham too. Period terraces with soft brick. Flats over cafes. Garden rooms tucked behind fences. We know the streets, the bays, the parking, the funny soil. We build with care so your place feels easy to live in.
Call 020 3920 9617 or email hello@allwellpropertyservices.co.uk. We pop round, have a look, talk plans, then send a clear price. No drama. No fluff.

Our General Contractor Clapham Services
Home renovation specialist
A good renovation makes daily life easier. Less bumping into doors. More light on the table. Warm feet on January mornings. We look at the bones first. Damp patches, draft paths, tired wiring, slow drains. Fix the root, then make it pretty. Old plaster wants lime. New boards need the right underlay. We use paints that breathe on soft brick, and hard-wearing coats where kids play.
Storage is joy. We build under-stair drawers that glide. Alcove units that hide toys and routers. Window seats with space for blankets. Simple wins. You get calmer rooms, fewer piles, and more smiles. Our opinion: a well-planned refurb beats moving. You keep your street and gain a home that fits.
Project management and permits
Paper can stump a good build. We deal with it daily. Lambeth and Wandsworth planning. Lawful Development when the design fits the rules. Party Wall notices for shared walls off Abbeville Road. Building Control bookings at the right times so nobody waits around. Thames Water build over if a manhole sits where your new slab wants to go.
You get a tracker with dates, who does what, and when. No guessing. No “where are we now” calls. We also chat with neighbours early so bins still pass and everyone stays friendly.
Custom home construction
Some families want something truly theirs. A clean new layout, high ceilings, the exact light, the exact feel. We help shape that dream and then we build it. From a fresh slab to the last bit of trim. Piles or deep trench on London clay, steel set plumb, roofs tight, insulation deep, airtight layers neat, services hidden but smart. We set up site so it stays safe and quiet as it can. Tools stacked, radios low, paths clear.
We keep the look honest. Materials that age nice. Timber that feels good on hand. Stone that likes London weather. You get a home that reads calm and still looks good ten winters from now.
New build contractor
Maybe you have a plot off Clapham Park Road. Maybe a backland site near a mews. We run full new build programs with clear stages. Groundworks, frame, weathertight shell, first fix, second fix, finish. We plan deliveries for narrow streets. We set traffic marshals on busy days. We handle cranes for steel or modules if the design calls for it.
We are direct about cost and time. No mystery. No shrugging. If supply lines move, we show the new plan fast so the site keeps going.
Licensed general contractor near me
You searched “licensed general contractor near me” because you want a straight answer and a tidy crew. That is us. Gas work by Gas Safe. Electrics certified and registered. Fire stopping done right where floors meet walls. Steels with calcs and sign off. Waste carried by licensed carriers. We keep records, photos, and certs in a digital pack so when you sell, you click and send. Buyers like that. So do surveyors.
We are picky on kit. Good screws. Good primers. Proper tapes. You might not see those things. You will feel the difference when doors still close sweet in winter and tiles dont pop in August.
Kitchens that cook and flow
We set kitchens for real life. Prep space where you chop. Pan drawers by the hob. Bin where you work, not across the room. Warm task lights that do not blind you. Floors that clean quick but feel nice under bare feet. We test for leaks with patience, because leaks kill joy fast.
In flats near Clapham North we watch pipe falls across old joists. We lift carefully, set stiffeners, then board so floors dont squeak. In terraced basements we add anti flood valves where needed and proper fans so smells dont linger. You get a kitchen that looks good and just works.
Bathrooms that stay dry
Good bathrooms are warm, bright, and dry. We slope trays, tank wet zones, tile onto solid boards, and seal at the right time so joints last. Fans are quiet but strong, with timers or humidity sensors. We set niches so bottles dont line the sill. Underfloor heat stops cold toes and keeps the room dry. We pick grout that cleans well, not chalk that turns grey in a week.
On some streets water pressure dips. We test before you buy a big rain head. If you need a pump or a different valve, we tell you. Better to be honest now than sad later.
Loft conversions and extensions
A dormer by Clapham South. A side return off a narrow kitchen in Abbeville Village. A garden room at the end of a long plot near Clapham Common West Side. We do all of these. Steels in, roofs tight, stairs that feel safe, fire doors where regs want them, smoke alarms linked. We keep neighbours informed and paths clear.
Light is the magic. Roof windows over the landing. Big glass facing the garden but shaded right so July does not bake you. Small details matter. A blind pocket. Socket by the sofa. Hook by the door. We think about that stuff.
Extra local notes
Clapham clay moves. We check cracks before we guess. Trees near the Common drink alot. We speak with engineers when needed. Old cellars, odd manholes, and shallow drains pop up on some roads. We map them early so slabs and pipes land right. We order long items through local merchants in Battersea and Balham to cut wait times. We book bay suspensions with Lambeth so deliveries dont get tickets. Little things. They keep jobs on track.
