GS Renovation carries out structural alterations across Parsons Green and the wider SW6 area, from new openings in the rear closet wing to replacement joists and supported openings in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the green. Backed by more than 30 years in Hammersmith and Fulham, we bring engineering, propping and building control together on one job.
Alterations to Parsons Green period homes
Every alteration on these SW6 terraces starts with understanding an old house. The bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian properties near the green were built with lime mortar, timber floors and shallow foundations, so we ask a structural engineer to assess the existing structure before designing a new opening, a replacement steel or, where movement has appeared, underpinning to a failing corner.
Common Parsons Green work includes forming a wide opening into the side return for a kitchen extension, renewing decayed joists over a damp rear closet wing, and adding a supported opening between the kitchen and garden. In each case a steel beam is sized to the load, bears onto padstones over sound masonry, and the surrounding brickwork is made good once the props come out.
Engineering and consents in SW6
Structural alterations in Parsons Green are controlled under the Building Regulations rather than planning, so Hammersmith and Fulham Council's building control inspects the propping, the beam bearings and any underpinning, then issues the certificate. We coordinate the engineer's calculations, book the site inspections at the right stages, and keep the paperwork straight from start to finish.
Where an opening, a beam or underpinning touches the party wall shared with the house next door, the Party Wall Act applies and notice must go to the adjoining owner first. On a tightly built SW6 terrace that is the norm rather than the exception, so we serve the notices early and program the work around them, keeping your neighbours informed and the job free of disputes.
