The Hammersmith market is dominated by media and advertising (disney, sony, virgin), consumer brand hq (l'oréal, coca-cola), retail hq (sports direct), each with distinct commercial flooring requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership.

FAQs — Commercial Flooring in Hammersmith

Can you lift and replace over raised access flooring?

Carpet tile and LVT with rapid adhesive: 6 hours to light foot traffic, 24 hours to full load. Engineered timber with PU adhesive: 24–48 hours. Resin: 12–72 hours depending on system.

Do you recycle lifted flooring?

Yes — carpet tile is routed to Interface's ReEntry programme or Desso's Take-Back, LVT to manufacturer-led recycling schemes where available. Manifests provided.

Can you match existing carpet for phased renewal?

Yes — most commercial carpet manufacturers hold 2–5 year dye-lot continuity. We verify lot availability before committing to a phased renewal programme.

Yes — typically 15–25% cheaper per sqft due to wider loading access, fewer out-of-hours restrictions, and lower management-overhead. Standard CAT B: £100–£150 per sqft.

Yes — L'Oréal, Disney, Sony and other Hammersmith-cluster HQs hold our compliance pack on file. Standard BPSS vetting for media-brand secure zones.

10,000 sqft CAT B: 9–12 weeks. 20,000 sqft: 14–18 weeks. Generally 1–2 weeks faster than equivalent on a central-London estate due to loading flexibility.
