Home Renovation Hammersmith and Fulham

GS Renovation refurbishes whole houses across Hammersmith and Fulham, from period conversions in W14 to family terraces near Shepherd's Bush and the river in SW6. One team handles the rewire, replumb, replaster, structural changes and finishes, so your Victorian or Edwardian home is renewed without juggling separate trades.

In Hammersmith and Fulham, a full house refurbishment typically costs £40,000 to £150,000 or more (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Hammersmith and Fulham: we carry the structure, services and finishes as one contract.

The two rooms that cost the most have their own pages, with prices: kitchen renovation in Hammersmith and Fulham and bathroom renovation in Hammersmith and Fulham. With 77% of homes in Hammersmith and Fulham flats, the soil stack usually fixes where a bathroom can go, and the lease may need the freeholder's consent for either room.

Whole-house refurbishment in Hammersmith and Fulham

A full renovation of a bay-fronted terrace in W6 or SW6 usually means stripping back to sound structure, rewiring throughout, replacing tired plumbing, and replastering walls that have moved over a century of settlement. We reconfigure the dated layouts common in these houses, opening cramped rear rooms into open-plan living and reworking the closet wing so the kitchen, utility and downstairs WC actually suit modern family life.

Sequencing is what makes a whole-house job run. We schedule the structural steelwork and any wall removal first, then first-fix services, plastering, kitchens and bathrooms, and finally decoration, so trades follow one another cleanly rather than clashing. Working in the borough's terraces means keeping dust and disruption contained on narrow streets where scaffolding, deliveries and skips all need careful planning with close neighbours.

Housing in Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith and Fulham has about 95,080 homes on the Council Tax list: 56% pre-1919, 9% interwar and 34% post-war, with flats making up 77% and houses 23%. Where most homes are flats, refurbishing a flat in Hammersmith and Fulham starts with the freeholder's licence for alterations.

When a Hammersmith and Fulham renovation adds a new flat

A whole-house renovation in Hammersmith and Fulham sometimes changes the number of homes in the building, most often by forming a self-contained flat at garden level or splitting a large house. That changes the paperwork more than the building work. The council's CIL guidance says development that creates a new dwelling will have to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy, not only schemes adding 100m2 or more, so liability is checked as part of the planning application rather than discovered afterwards. The planning consent comes first, and the levy follows from it.

A new dwelling also brings an inspection that a straightforward refurbishment does not. Building control lists occupation among the inspections that need 5 days' notice, along with drainage systems and completion. In practice that means the new flat cannot simply be handed over the day the decorators leave: fire separation between the two homes, sound insulation in the floor and the escape route are all seen first. We build that week into the programme from the start, so a tenant's or buyer's moving date is set against a realistic finish.

Restoring period features in Hammersmith and Fulham homes

The Victorian and Edwardian houses of Hammersmith and Fulham carry original features worth keeping. Where cornicing, ceiling roses, sash windows, panelled doors and cast fireplaces survive, we repair and restore them, and we match new mouldings to the old where past owners stripped them out. Around Bishops Park and Parsons Green these details define the character buyers value, so we protect them while modernising everything behind the walls.

Alongside restoration we upgrade the parts you never see, improving insulation, updating the consumer unit, adding sensible lighting circuits and bringing drainage and ventilation up to standard. Notifiable electrical work is certified by a registered electrician under Part P, and structural work is inspected by Hammersmith and Fulham Council's building control, so the finished house is both authentically period in feel and properly signed off and safe underneath.
