Where we draw in West Lambeth

Which Lambeth neighbourhoods does this cover?

This page covers the western part of the borough — Clapham, Stockwell, Brixton and Clapham North and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Victorian terraces, Clapham's Georgian houses and mixed estate housing, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Lambeth Council.

The Clapham conservation areas govern the west, where the side-return extension is the signature project on the classic double-fronted and terraced houses around the Common. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the western Lambeth streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
