TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Marylebone.

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 Marylebone, 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.

Marylebone: the houses and the planning rules.

Marylebone is where Space Cucina started, as a kitchen company on Seymour Place. The district is a grid of Georgian and early Victorian streets laid out by the Portman and Howard de Walden estates: flat-fronted brick terraces, stucco around the squares, mews houses behind, and the great mansion blocks of Marylebone Road and Baker Street.

Most of the housing is now flats, from mansion-block apartments to lateral conversions across two houses, which makes refurbishment here as much about approvals and logistics as about design: licences to alter, estate consent, parking suspensions and lift access all shape the programme. We have refurbished bathrooms on Marylebone Road and fitted kitchens for clients across the district.

The Portman Estate, Harley Street and Dorset Square conservation areas cover almost all of it.

Westminster City Council

Applications go to Westminster. Almost the whole district is within conservation areas, and many terraces are Grade II listed, so internal changes to listed houses need listed building consent.

Estate consent

On the Portman and Howard de Walden estates, the freeholder's own approval is needed in addition to planning, with their own design guidance for windows, roofs and rear elevations.

Mansion flats

Block rules govern working hours, deliveries and noise. We plan the programme around them and coordinate with the managing agent.
