Designers, Architects, Engineers & Builders Under One Roof.
One Studio. One Contract. One Team.
We design and build Hammersmith bathroom renovations with luxury master bathrooms, en-suites, and family bathrooms for riverside Georgian terraces, Victorian villas, Edwardian mansion flats - full tanking, waterproofing, underfloor heating, stone and porcelain tiling, ventilation, drainage coordination and premium brassware for period homes, mansion flats and prime London properties where moisture control, services routing and finish sequencing need handling properly.
A Hammersmith bathroom is measured against its surroundings. The borough's W6 stock spans Victorian villas, Georgian terraces and Edwardian mansion flats, and a refurbishment brief here is expected to honour that period fabric while contending with the busy logistics of the central district. So the specification — the sanitaryware, the tiling, the joinery and the way services are concealed — is pitched to match the house rather than imposed upon it, with the finish treated as part of the build, not an afterthought.
The clearest example is the mansion flat. Around Glenthorne Road these leasehold homes ask for the fabric, the between-floor sound separation and the landlord's licence to be squared away together, with the finish carried alongside; the W6 heritage guidance likewise flags a Licence to Alter for flats. A bathroom in one of them is as much a coordination exercise as a design one, with waterproofing and sound control settled before the first tile is cut.
Even internal work answers to the wider setting. Within its conservation areas — which take in Brook Green and the old riverside terraces — the borough examines outward change and brings Article 4 controls to bear, meaning anything a bathroom pushes onto an elevation is caught early. From the river houses of Hammersmith Terrace to the Brook Green villas the stock shifts, yet the level the finish should reach does not. Our local guide, Bathrooms and Heating in Hammersmith Homes, goes further.
What a Bathroom Renovation Involves
No room packs more technical work into fewer square metres than a bathroom: hidden pipework, drainage falls, waterproofing, extraction and electrics all have to be resolved behind the tiles before anything beautiful goes on show. We handle the plumbing, tiling and design as one job, so the finished room is as sound behind the wall as it is in front of it. Most briefs fall into one of four types.
- Family bathroom — bath, shower, WC and storage engineered for daily use by the whole household
- En-suite — a compact shower room off the bedroom, planned millimetre by millimetre so nothing feels squeezed
- Wet room — a fully tanked, level-access space with the floor graded to a concealed drain; tested before a single tile is laid
- Cloakroom WC — the smallest room in the house, treated as a design opportunity rather than an afterthought
How We Run Your Project
A short programme only stays short when the sequence is planned before strip-out.
- Survey & brief — we check waste routes, water supply and floor structure, then agree what the room must do.
- Design & selection — 3D visuals plus tile, sanitaryware and brassware choices made from physical samples, not photographs.
- Fixed-price contract — the whole room in one figure: plumbing, electrics, tiling, fittings and finishes.
- Strip-out & first fix — old room out, walls made good, new pipe and cable runs set exactly where the design puts them; tanking applied and tested where specified.
- Tiling & installation — specialist tilers set out the room, then sanitaryware, brassware, glass and lighting go in.
- Sealing & handover — commissioning, silicone detailing, snag inspection and a 12-month defects guarantee.
On site the work runs 2–4 weeks, and where it is your only bathroom we plan the sequence to restore WC access within the first days. Read the full bathroom renovation guide for wet-room construction, tile comparisons and accessibility design in depth.
Bathrooms sit squarely inside the Building Regulations: electrical work in wet zones is notifiable under Part P and governed by strict zoning rules, mechanical extraction is required to control moisture, and thermostatic anti-scald valves are standard on new installations. In flats, moving soil pipes or altering services generally needs freeholder consent — worth securing before anything is ordered. Our planning guide library covers the consent rules in detail.
Why Hampstead Renovations
Most bathroom problems trace back to split responsibility — a plumber, a tiler and a supplier each assuming someone else owned the detail. Our teams work to one drawing under one fixed-price contract, with design oversight from our in-house RIBA Chartered Architects on projects that alter layout or structure, and RICS surveying support available through our sister company where condition or party wall questions arise. The work is covered by £10M public liability insurance and a 12-month defects guarantee. Get in touch before 2pm on a weekday and we will return your call the same day.
Bathroom Renovation in Hammersmith: Questions
How high is the finish pitched on a Hammersmith bathroom?
A considered one. Across the W6 range — Victorian villas, Edwardian mansion flats and Georgian riverside terraces — a bathroom's specification is judged against the period fabric around it, and briefs in Hammersmith have to honour that fabric while working around the crowded logistics of the central W6 streets. We set the tiling, sanitaryware and joinery to sit comfortably with what the house already holds.
How is a bathroom handled in a Hammersmith mansion flat?
In a Hammersmith mansion flat — the Edwardian blocks off Glenthorne Road — the bathroom is a leasehold matter before anything else: the fabric, the sound separation between floors and the landlord's licence are pinned down together, with the finish riding alongside. Waterproofing, acoustic detailing and specification are then resolved as one, long before the home below is put at any risk.
Will a bathroom in a Hammersmith flat need a Licence to Alter?
Often, yes — moving waste, water or a wet area is precisely the sort of change a lease governs. In Hammersmith the borough's W6 heritage material flags Licences to Alter as a requirement for flats, so we map that consent route before design starts, alongside any freeholder sign-off the block itself demands.
Do Hammersmith's conservation rules reach an internal bathroom?
They can. The council scrutinises what changes on the outside of buildings across its conservation areas, and enforces this through Article 4 directions, so a bathroom that reveals itself on an elevation — a fresh window, vent or soil pipe — differs from one kept wholly within. Fixing that with the borough early spares a Hammersmith project the delays.
Which kinds of Hammersmith home do you fit bathrooms in?
Every part of W6 — the historic river houses along the water at Hammersmith Terrace and Black Lion Lane, the family villas and terraces at Brook Green, and the Edwardian blocks of flats near Glenthorne Road. Our local guide, Bathrooms and Heating in Hammersmith Homes, weighs up what each type asks of the room.
