Office Renovation across Hammersmith (W6). Office renovation — modernising existing space without a full strip-out and re-fit. Targeted upgrades to layout, finishes, lighting and M&E, delivered while teams remain in occupation.
Office Renovation across Hammersmith (W6) is delivered by our in-house commercial team with current estate approvals and compliance records on file. We have completed works in or adjacent to 3 Shortlands, One Lyric Square, 245 Hammersmith Road, The Ark, Landmark House among others. Teams mobilise from our London operations base, with direct transport links via Hammersmith (Piccadilly, District, Circle, Hammersmith & City), Barons Court (Piccadilly, District), Ravenscourt Park (District), Goldhawk Road (Hammersmith & City). Every project is run by a named project manager reporting weekly with photographs and programme RAG. Out-of-hours loading, estate permit-to-work and managing-agent liaison are included in the prelims — not charged as variations.
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 office renovation requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered office renovation in trophy buildings including 3 Shortlands, One Lyric Square, 245 Hammersmith Road, The Ark.
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.
LBHF standard: 08:00–18:00 Mon–Fri, 08:00–13:00 Sat. Less restrictive than City/Canary Wharf — heavy noise typically permitted through full Saturday mornings. Hammersmith Broadway loading bays require TfL parking suspension permits. Riverside properties have independent Thames-side logistics. A4/M4 access makes heavy delivery straightforward.

Renovation is targeted modernisation without full strip-out — it reuses sound elements and focuses on impact. Refurbishment is a broader scope, typically including M&E alterations and partitioning. Fit-out replaces everything to let-ready or occupier-ready standard.
With phased zoning and night-shift for noisy works, typical disruption is limited to temporary relocation within the same floor. A 10,000 sqft renovation over 3 phases runs 8–12 weeks with no staff displacement.
Typically 30–50% cheaper per sqft because you retain sound ceilings, floor plates and core M&E. The trade-off is that the layout is constrained by existing infrastructure.
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.
