Hammersmith commercial stock centres on Hammersmith Broadway and the Thames riverside. Occupiers are dominated by media/advertising (Disney, Sony, Virgin, Coca-Cola), retail HQ (L'Oréal, Sports Direct), and consumer-brand HQ. Floor plates are typically 8,000–20,000 sqft.

FAQs — Lighting & Electrical in Hammersmith

Can you deliver an LED upgrade without a full re-wire?

Yes — LED swap-out using existing circuits is common where the existing wiring is sound (post-EICR). Typical ROI on energy savings is 2–4 years.

Do you handle DALI and wireless lighting controls?

Yes — we install Tridonic, Lutron, Casambi and Helvar systems, with commissioning and training for the FM team.

Will an LED upgrade help with MEES compliance?

Yes — lighting is typically the largest single electrical load in an office. An LED upgrade with controls can lift an EPC from D/E into B/C territory.

Do you test and certify emergency lighting?

Yes — annual full-duration discharge testing and monthly flick tests are offered under a PPM contract. Certificates to BS 5266 provided.

Is Hammersmith cheaper for fit-out than City or Canary Wharf?

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.

Do you work in the consumer-brand HQ buildings?

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

What's typical programme in Hammersmith?

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.

Can you handle riverside trophy stock?

Yes — including Thames-side access logistics, riverside glazing considerations and flood-risk compliant M&E routing.
