TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Richmond.

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 Richmond, 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.

Richmond: the houses and the planning rules.

Richmond has Georgian houses around the Green and up the Hill, Victorian villas along the roads to the Park, and Edwardian streets between the station and Kew. The view from Richmond Hill is protected by Act of Parliament, and the conservation areas are among the most carefully managed in outer London.

Refurbishments here range from listed Georgian townhouses to Edwardian family houses that want a kitchen extension and a loft. The council's design guidance is detailed and its conservation officers are engaged, so the drawings and heritage statement are prepared to match.

The Richmond Town, Richmond Hill, Richmond Green and Kew Green conservation areas cover the centre and the riverside, and many houses are listed.
