Reception Refurbishment across Hammersmith (W6). Commercial reception refurbishment — the first 60 seconds of every client visit. Joinery, stone, signage, lighting, seating and AV containment, delivered to a fixed-price brief that signals brand quality from the door.
Reception Refurbishment 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 reception refurbishment requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered reception refurbishment 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.
