Flat Refurbishment in Hammersmith.
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 Hammersmith 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.

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 flat refurbishment in Hammersmith.
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 Hammersmith: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Hammersmith?
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 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.
