Builders Clapham
Lifestyle Design + Build undertake building work across the Clapham area including Clapham Common, Clapham Town and Thornton as well as Ferndale and Larkhall.
Clapham has come a long way since 1332 when it was no more than a medieval village with only 18 registered tax payers. During the 17th century transport links developed between London and Clapham with a regular stage coach service which attracted well off city dwellers looking for a rural retreat and many grand private residences were built by wealthy city merchants. Of course little mention is generally made of the fact that many refugees arrived in Clapham from the Great Plague of London in 1665 and also the fire of 1666 resulting in Clapham being quite a large village by the end of the century.
Clapham has a recognisably rich architectural heritage with several conservation areas including the Clapham Conservation Area, centred on Clapham Common; Clapham High Street Conservation Area, the Clapham Road Conservation Area and if you can count it, the Clapham Junction Conservation area. These areas contain Georgian and Victorian period housing including terraces and family homes as well as some of the earliest surviving buildings from the original Clapham village dating as far back as 1750. This presents us with many considerations when dealing with building work in this area
Of course, a lot has changed since the early days of Clapham, but one thing hasn't, the need for good builders. People building things like walls, extensions and carrying out general building work has been going on since forever. Lifestyle Design + Build is carrying on that tradition, in a contemporary style that the likes of
Charles Barry and
John Francis Bentley would be proud of.

Porches
Porches are great. Especially the porches in the Clapham area. They are often overlooked, unappreciated and ignored. However, the porch offers so much more, its the crowning glory to the main portal to your abode and place of residence, it protects you from the rain as you fumble for your keys, or worse still, wait for someone with keys to arrive because you lost yours. Here at Lifestyle Design + Build we can build you a quality porch. Styles range from simple unobtrusive canopies through to pillar, framed or even extension porches, all in a wide range of materials and finishes.
