Garage conversions in Balham
A garage that never sees a car is space you already own. In Balham we turn those garages into bedrooms, lounges, offices and gyms for households across the SW12 postcode area.
Pick the room that suits you: a bedroom, a living room, a home office or a gym. You get a free survey, a fixed price with every item listed, and Building Regulations sign-off for the Wandsworth Council area once the work is done.
Structural changes are designed by a structural engineer we appoint, whether that is the new wall where the garage door was, an opening into the house or a steel beam. We liaise with the Building Control inspector for Wandsworth Council, book each visit and attend it with them. See our guide to the process for the full sequence.

Questions from Balham homeowners
Is planning permission needed for a garage conversion in Balham?
Usually not. Converting an attached or integral garage without making it bigger is normally permitted development. Listed homes, conservation areas, estates where those rights were removed and detached garages can be exceptions, so we check with Wandsworth Council before work starts.
Who handles Building Control and the engineer in Balham?
We do. We make the Building Control application for the Wandsworth Council area, appoint a structural engineer for any openings or beams, attend every inspection and give you the completion certificate when the room is signed off.
How long does a garage conversion in Balham take?
Around two to three weeks on site for a single garage. A knock-through, an en-suite or a larger garage adds time, and we agree the programme with you first.
What does a garage conversion in Balham cost?
We price after a free survey, because the cost depends on your garage, the room you want and the structural work involved. The quote is fixed and itemised. Our cost guide explains what affects it.
Do you cover areas near Balham?
Yes. Our Balham team covers SW12 and nearby areas including Tooting, Brixton, Clapham, Wandsworth, Battersea. Each has its own local number, listed on the areas page.
