House Refurbishment in Hammersmith.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Hammersmith it usually means stripping back to the structure, rewiring and replumbing, replanning the ground floor around a new kitchen, fitting new bathrooms and then bringing back the detail that gives the house its character: cornices, joinery, fireplaces and sash windows.
We run the whole job. Our architects draw the new layout, our engineers design any structural openings, and our own site team builds it, so there is one programme, one quotation and one person to call. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed and supplied by us rather than by a subcontractor.
Every refurbishment starts with a site visit and a measured survey. From that we produce drawings, an itemised specification and a programme, so you know exactly what is being done before anyone lifts a tool.

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 house refurbishment in Hammersmith.
Internal refurbishment does not normally need planning permission, but it does need building regulations approval for structural work, electrics, plumbing and insulation, and listed houses need listed building consent for most internal changes.

House Refurbishment in Hammersmith: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Hammersmith?
A whole house with structural changes, a new kitchen and two or three bathrooms usually takes four to six months on site. We give a written programme with the quotation and report progress weekly.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
For a partial refurbishment, usually yes: we keep a bathroom and a basic kitchen working and seal off the rooms we are in. For a full strip-out it is faster, cleaner and cheaper to move out for the duration.
