Balham

Balham is a district in south London in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The settlement features inside the Domesday Book as Belgeham. Bal means ‘rounded enclosure’ and ham a homestead, village or river enclosure. The region has been settled since Saxon times, and Balham Hill and Balham High Road follow the line of the Roman road Stane Street to Chichester.

Balham encompasses the A24 north of Tooting Bec as well as the roads coming off it. The southern part of Balham which is close to Tooting Bec has a block of 1930s Art Deco flats known as Du Cane Court. There's also the Heaver Estate which can be found in Tooting, which comprises substantial houses. It was built in the grounds of the old Bedford Hill House by local Victorian builder Alfred Heaver.

Balham lies in between 4 south London commons, namely Clapham Common towards the north, Wandsworth Common towards the west, Tooting Graveney Common to the south plus the connecting Tooting Bec towards the east.

In WWII, on 14th October 1940, Balham tube station was badly damaged by air raids on London. Men and women sheltered inside the tube station during the raids, but a bomb fell in the High Road and through the roof of the Underground station, bursting a water and gas mains and killing about 64 people today. Ian McEwan describes the event as part of his novel ‘Atonement’, published in 2001.

FAQs

Can builders work on a Sunday?

General construction work should be restricted to the following hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm. Saturdays 8am to 1pm. Most councils advice that noisy work is prohibited on Sundays and bank holidays but you should check with your local council to confirm this.

What qualifications should a builder have?

Some individuals who have been in the construction department for many years may not be qualified, that is, they may not have undergone an apprenticeship and/or trade certificate courses, but they might still be very skilled at their work. However, anybody can pick up a sledgehammer and demand themselves a builder lacking any skills or training. The wise thing would be to ask the builder coming to your house about what qualifications they have and what training they have undergone.

Licensing of building practitioners

You can now check if your builder or tradesperson is a licensed building practitioner by using an electronic public register which has a record of every registered builder. Being licensed provides you with an assurance that the builder who is about to do your work has proven his shill to the government and earned his right to be a practitioner. If you wish for certain important building and design work on your home it is imperative that you hire a licensed practitioner, the act is very common when you compare the scenario with when you have to call a plumber or an electrician regarding any work.

In order to become a builder in the UK, you must complete an apprenticeship or an NVQ. NVQ is another popular route to becoming a builder. You can also get your NVQ even when you are working as an apprentice. You can also make it based on any recognised overseas qualification.

All associates maintain a Code of Practice and Conduct which sets the standards for all stages of the building procedure. The Code requires builders to:

• Submit quotes on projects for which they have time.

• Securing the contract with a sufficient insurance cover.

• Maintain honesty and integrity at all times.

• Obey the law and industry standards of conduct.

All members of the construction association must also follow a code of conduct. As a consumer, if you think your builder has breached the Code of Conduct or the Code of Ethics, you can file a written against him or her.
