in Fulham, SW6
Designers, Architects, Engineers & Builders Under One Roof.
One Studio. One Contract. One Team.
We design and build Fulham kitchen renovations across Fulham's principal residential streets - bespoke cabinetry, premium appliance integration, natural-stone worktops, lighting design, ventilation and open-plan reconfiguration for period homes, townhouses, family houses and prime apartments where layout, services, structural coordination and finish sequencing need handling properly.
Fulham is classic Victorian family London, and it is house-led above all — long runs of bay-fronted Victorian terraces and Edwardian cottages. That family character sets the typical kitchen job: a rear or side-return extension to open the room to the garden, or a whole-house refurbishment that keeps the bay windows and sash detail while modernising the layout. Hurlingham Road and Peterborough Road carry handsome bay-fronted terraces and mansion flats; Munster Road and the streets off the Fulham Road bring long rows of family houses; and the riverside towards Hurlingham adds larger villas and conversions.
The first step is separating internal refurbishment from visible or leasehold-controlled work. Hammersmith and Fulham scrutinises external change in its conservation areas, and beyond a borough-wide basement direction it has made Article 4 directions restricting permitted development at many individual properties — covering Fulham streets and areas including Central Fulham, Fulham Park Gardens, Hurlingham, Studdridge Street, Walham Grove, Mimosa Street, Imperial Square and Fabian Road. So a house on one street may have freedoms its neighbour two roads away has lost.
Where the property is a Hurlingham riverside villa or mansion flat, structure, acoustics and freeholder consent are handled together. On budget, a full two-bed flat refurbishment lies within a London-wide £60,000 to £110,000 band excluding VAT; and where a Fulham kitchen is extended to the garden, the new area is priced at £2,200 to £3,500 per square metre, with £5,000 to £30,000 for the kitchen supply, before VAT.
What a Kitchen Renovation Involves
In a London period property, the kitchen is rarely just cabinetry. Getting the room right usually means opening up a wall, rerouting drainage or power, and rethinking how cooking, eating and family life share one space — which is why we design, engineer and build the whole room under a single contract rather than fitting units into someone else’s shell. The layout comes first, chosen around how your household actually uses the room.
- L-shaped — two adjoining runs that free the rest of the room for dining; the natural fit for side-return extensions
- Island — prep, storage and seating around a central block; needs generous width but anchors an open-plan floor
- Galley — parallel runs that wring maximum worktop and storage from narrow terraces and apartments
- U-shaped — worktop on three sides for dedicated kitchen rooms where storage matters more than seating
- Open-plan — kitchen, dining and living combined, typically after a structural opening or rear extension
How We Run Your Project
Every decision is settled on screen before it costs money on site.
- Brief & survey — we measure the room, trace the services and learn how you cook before proposing anything.
- Design & visualisation — layout options and photorealistic 3D renders, refined until the room is right; changes here are free.
- Fixed-price contract — one agreed figure covering building work, cabinetry, worktops, appliances and finishes together.
- Strip-out & structural — demolition, any steelwork, and first-fix plumbing, gas and electrics run to the designed positions.
- Installation — cabinetry fitted by kitchen specialists, worktops templated and set, appliances commissioned, tiling and flooring completed.
- Snagging & handover — a detailed inspection, warranty documents and a 12-month defects guarantee.
Most kitchens take 4–8 weeks on site depending on how much structural and services work sits behind the cabinetry. Read the full kitchen renovation guide for layouts, worktop materials and specification tiers in detail.
Compliance is built into the programme rather than bolted on. New circuits in a kitchen are notifiable electrical work under Part P, extraction and ventilation must meet Building Regulations, and structural openings need building control approval of the engineering. If you live in a flat, altering services or removing walls usually needs your freeholder’s consent before work starts. For the consent rules in your borough, see our planning guide library.
Why Hampstead Renovations
A kitchen studio designs but leaves you to find a builder; a builder fits but leaves you to find a designer. We close that gap. Design and any structural engineering come from one office — including our in-house RIBA Chartered Architects when the project reshapes the floor plan — and the same company builds what it drew. Where a survey, party wall matter or condition report is needed, RICS-regulated chartered surveying is available through our sister company. Every contract is fixed-price and backed by £10M public liability insurance. Weekday enquiries made before 2pm get a call back from us that same day.
Kitchen Renovation in Fulham: Questions
What is distinctive about a kitchen renovation in Fulham?
It is house-led family London. Fulham is long runs of bay-fronted Victorian terraces and Edwardian cottages, so the typical kitchen job is a rear or side-return extension to open the room to the garden, or a whole-house refurbishment that keeps the bay windows and sash detail while modernising the plan.
How do you approach a Fulham kitchen where some work is visible and some internal?
By separating the two from the start — internal refurbishment on one side, visible or leasehold-controlled work on the other. In a Hurlingham riverside villa or mansion flat, structure, acoustics and freeholder consent are then handled together, while a house's internal remodelling can move ahead in parallel.
Which Fulham streets do you work on?
Hurlingham Road and Peterborough Road, with their bay-fronted terraces and mansion flats; Munster Road and the streets off the Fulham Road, with their long rows of family houses; and the riverside towards Hurlingham, which adds larger villas and conversions.
Do we need permission for a kitchen renovation in Fulham?
It depends heavily on the address. Hammersmith and Fulham has made Article 4 directions restricting permitted development at many individual properties — covering Fulham streets including Central Fulham, Fulham Park Gardens, Hurlingham, Studdridge Street and Walham Grove — so a house on one street may have freedoms its neighbour has lost. We check the exact property first.
What does a kitchen renovation cost in Fulham?
A full two-bed flat refurbishment lies within a London-wide £60,000 to £110,000 band excluding VAT. Where a Fulham kitchen is extended to the garden, the new area is priced at £2,200 to £3,500 per square metre, with £5,000 to £30,000 for the kitchen supply, before VAT — firmed up at survey.
