Flat Refurbishment in Fulham.
Refurbishing a flat is a different job from refurbishing a house. The design questions are the same, but the approvals, the logistics and the neighbours are not. In Fulham most flats sit in mansion blocks or converted houses, which means a freeholder or managing agent to satisfy, restricted working hours, lift and stair access to plan, and sound insulation between floors to prove at inspection.
We handle all of it. Before work starts we prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder needs for a licence to alter, agree deliveries and hours with the building, and protect the common parts. On site, our own team does the strip-out, services, joinery, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration, so the flat is closed up and finished in one continuous programme.
Because we supply the Italian and German kitchens and the bathroom furniture ourselves, we can design the whole flat as one scheme and order everything at once, which matters when access is difficult and every delivery has to be booked.

Fulham: the houses and the planning rules.
Fulham is late Victorian family housing on a huge scale: long streets of three-storey terraces built in the 1880s and 1890s, the distinctive Peterborough estate with its stone lions, the larger houses around Parsons Green and the Hurlingham Club, and the new riverside developments along the Thames. Families move here for the houses and then extend them.
Side-return and rear extensions, loft conversions with rear dormers, and basements are the standard sequence for a Fulham terrace, and a full refurbishment often does all three at once. The borough's basement policy and conservation area guidance are well established and we design to them from the outset.
The Parsons Green, Hurlingham, Peterborough Estate, Moore Park and Sands End conservation areas cover most of the residential streets.
London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
The borough decides applications. Article 4 directions in most conservation areas mean rear extensions and roof works need a householder application.
Basements
Basements are limited to a single storey and to a proportion of the garden, with a construction method statement and neighbour notification.
Peterborough estate
The Lion houses have specific guidance on roofs, front elevations and rear extensions to keep the estate's uniformity.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Fulham.
Flats need a licence to alter from the freeholder or managing agent as well as building regulations approval; the sound insulation between flats is checked at inspection, and any change to the exterior, including windows, needs planning permission.

Flat Refurbishment in Fulham: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Fulham?
Almost always, through a licence to alter. We prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder or managing agent asks for and build their approval time into the programme so it does not hold up the start.
How long does a flat refurbishment take?
A two-bedroom flat typically takes eight to twelve weeks on site once approvals are in place. Lift access, parking and the block's working hours all affect the programme, so we plan around them from the outset.
Which parts of Fulham do you cover?
All of Fulham and SW6, including Parsons Green Lane, Peterborough Road, Hurlingham Road, New King's Road, Studdridge Street, Broomhouse Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
