Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Hammersmith.

A commercial fit-out is judged on one thing: whether the doors open on the date agreed. We have fitted out cafés, patisseries, restaurants and shops across London, including units in stations where working hours are tightly controlled, and we plan every job backwards from the opening date.

The work covers design and drawings, the landlord's approval, planning permission for shopfronts and signage, building control, and the fit-out itself: partitions, services, extraction, counters and joinery, flooring, lighting and decoration. Where the unit is trading, we build joinery off site and install overnight.

For a unit in Hammersmith we start with the lease and the landlord's requirements, check what the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham will need for the shopfront and any change of use, and then agree a fixed programme with you.

Hammersmith: the houses and the planning rules.

Away from the Broadway, Hammersmith is a district of tight Victorian terraces: Brackenbury Village's two-storey cottages, the larger houses around Ravenscourt Park, and the Georgian and Victorian houses along the river at the Mall. The terraces are narrow, the gardens are short and the demand for space is constant.

Side-return extensions are the signature project here, opening the ground floor into one kitchen and living space, often with a loft conversion in the same programme. The conservation areas ask for extensions that sit below the neighbours' sightlines and use matching brick.

The Brackenbury Village, Ravenscourt and Starch Green, and Hammersmith Mall conservation areas cover much of the residential district.

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham

The borough decides applications and applies Article 4 directions in Brackenbury Village and other conservation areas, removing permitted development for rear and roof extensions.

Side returns

The council's guidance favours side-return extensions kept low with rooflights; full-width rear extensions are assessed against neighbours' amenity.

Basements

The borough's basement policy applies, with a construction method statement and limits on depth and garden coverage.

Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Hammersmith.

Internal fit-out rarely needs planning permission, but new shopfronts, signage and changes of use do, and landlords have their own approval process. Food premises need extraction and drainage designed to building regulations and environmental health requirements.

Common questions

Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Hammersmith: your questions.

Can you fit out a shop or café in Hammersmith around trading hours?

Yes. We plan the programme around your opening hours and the landlord's rules, building joinery off site and installing overnight where necessary.

Do I need permission for a new shopfront?

Usually yes. Shopfront changes need planning permission from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.

Which parts of Hammersmith do you cover?

All of Hammersmith and W6, including Brackenbury Road, Ravenscourt Road, Upper Mall, Hammersmith Grove, Dalling Road, Rylett Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
