Bathroom renovation in Hammersmith
Bathroom and en-suite refits with proper tanking, drainage and ventilation.
Mansion block bathrooms are the recurring Hammersmith job, and they come with the same two issues every time — the soil stack is communal and cannot be moved, and the lease almost always requires acoustic isolation and landlord's consent for any work to floors. We build the acoustic layer in as standard because it is both a lease requirement and the thing that prevents a dispute with the flat below.
The properties we see in Hammersmith
Brackenbury Village is 1870s–1880s two-storey artisan cottages, small, solid-walled and with minimal floor void, which makes every services run a chase and every extension a tight site. Around Ravenscourt Park the houses are substantially larger Victorian villas, many subdivided into flats. The mansion blocks along the riverside and around Barons Court are 1900s–1930s, with shared risers, communal roofs and — critically — leases that govern what a leaseholder may alter.
Planning in Hammersmith & Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham is our home authority, so the process and the officers are familiar. Brackenbury Village and parts of Ravenscourt Park are conservation areas. The distinctive constraint here is leasehold: mansion block alterations need landlord's consent under the lease as well as any statutory permission, and a licence to alter is a separate legal process that runs alongside planning and building control. We flag that at the outset because it is the thing that most often delays a flat project.
What bathrooms involves
A full bathroom renovation in Fulham is £12,000–£30,000 depending on specification and whether drainage moves. The cost driver in a Victorian terrace is rarely the sanitaryware — it is falls on the waste run, floor build-up, and getting extraction to an external wall.
Consider this if
- The bathroom is original and everything needs replacing
- You want to add an en-suite to a bedroom or loft
- There is a persistent leak or damp in the ceiling below
- You want a wet room or level-access shower
- The layout wastes space in a small Victorian bathroom
- The extractor has never worked properly
What's included
- Full strip-out and disposal
- New hot and cold feeds, waste runs with correct falls
- Tanking to wet areas before tiling — not just around the shower tray
- Underfloor heating where the floor build-up allows
- Mechanical extraction ducted to an external wall, not into the loft
- Tiling, sanitaryware installation, electrical certification
The standard we build to
Wet areas tanked before tiling, electrical work zoned and certified to BS 7671 Part 7 Section 701, and extraction rates to Building Regulations Part F.
