BUILDING IN BALHAM
Kitchen extensions and loft conversions for Balham's family-sized Victorian terraces — the same side-return and dormer playbook we've built minutes away in Clapham and Wandsworth. One in-house team from drawings to building control, at a fixed itemised price.
Rear extensions with French doors and rooflights create open kitchen-diner spaces; two-storey extensions add bedrooms.
Local advantage
Why homeowners in Balham choose Dali Pro Services for house extensions
01 · PLANNING HANDLED
Permitted development or full planning — we tell you which on the first visit.
Many single-storey rear and side-return extensions in Balham fall under permitted development; double-storey and wrap-around schemes usually need a full application to Wandsworth Council. In streets of terraces and semis, party-wall notices to one or both neighbours are the norm — we serve and manage those ourselves. Our own team prepares the drawings and submits the application — one point of contact owns both the approvals and the build.
02 · ONE TEAM
Steels, thresholds and the kitchen — one team owns every junction.
An extension lives or dies where old meets new: the steel opening, the level threshold to the garden, the drainage runs, the kitchen that anchors the space. Our architects, structural engineers and site team sit in the same office, so nothing is lost between a designer’s drawing and a builder’s interpretation.
03 · TRANSPARENT PRICING
From £2,500 / m² — itemised and fixed.
Your quotation is broken down line by line — groundworks, shell, glazing, fit-out — and fixed against the agreed drawings. You pay in stages, only after each stage is signed off; variations only happen when scope genuinely changes, through written authorisation.

A single-storey extension takes 12–16 weeks from breaking ground to completion. Double-storey runs 16–22 weeks.
Can we live in the house during the build?
For most rear extensions, yes. We dust-seal the working area and maintain access to your kitchen and bathroom.
