TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Barnes.
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 Barnes, 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.

Barnes: the houses and the planning rules.
Barnes is a riverside village inside a loop of the Thames: Georgian houses on the Terrace, the Green with its pond, Victorian streets running back towards the Common, and the wide Castelnau estate leading to Hammersmith Bridge. It is quiet, well kept and closely protected.
The projects match the houses: refurbishments of Victorian family homes, side-return and rear extensions, lofts, and the occasional basement where the ground conditions near the river allow. Richmond's conservation guidance applies almost everywhere, and flood risk is checked on riverside sites.
The Barnes Green, Castelnau and Barnes Common conservation areas cover most of the village.
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
Richmond decides applications; Article 4 directions in the Barnes conservation areas mean most external changes need a full application.
River and flood risk
Riverside streets sit in the Environment Agency flood zone, which affects basements and requires a flood risk assessment.
Castelnau
The paired villas of the Castelnau estate have specific guidance on roofs, side extensions and boundary walls.
