TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Earl's Court.

Retail units in stations are a market of their own. The work is approved by TFL's commercial team and the station operator before it starts, most of it happens after the last train, and the materials have to meet the fire and smoke standards for enclosed stations. We are approved to do this work and have fitted out units at London Bridge, Uxbridge and Acton Central stations and Harrow-on-the-Hill bus station.

For an operator taking a unit at a station serving Earl's Court, we prepare the drawings, materials schedule, method statements and risk assessments the approval needs, build the counters and joinery off site, and install with our own trades in the access windows the station allows.

The opening date in the lease is the fixed point. We plan the programme backwards from it, book the night-time access in advance and hand over with the certificates the operator and TFL require.

Earl's Court: the houses and the planning rules.

Earl's Court is late-Victorian London: tall terraces around garden squares such as Nevern Square and Philbeach Gardens, most of them long since converted into flats, with mansion blocks on the main roads. Ceilings are high, rooms are deep and the building fabric rewards a thorough refurbishment.

Our award-winning living space is here, in Nevern Square: a ground floor reworked as one long room with the kitchen hidden behind a wall of bespoke joinery, featured in House & Garden. We also supplied a seamless Corian worktop and basin for a bathroom in the same square.

The Nevern Square, Philbeach and Earl's Court Village conservation areas cover much of it.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

Planning applications go to RBKC. The garden squares are conservation areas and many terraces are listed or locally listed.

Flats

Most properties are leasehold flats, so a licence to alter from the freeholder is normally required alongside building regulations approval.

Party walls

Terraced construction means structural openings and new services usually engage the Party Wall Act; we serve the notices early.
