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 refurbishment requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership.

FAQs — Office Refurbishment in Hammersmith

Can you work while our staff remain in the office?

Yes. We phase refurbishment into occupied and decanted zones, with physical hoarding, air-sealed segregation, and noise-generating works confined to out-of-hours shifts. A typical floor plate can be refurbished in 2–3 phases over 8–14 weeks.

How do you price refurbishment — open-book or fixed?

We price fixed lump-sum against an agreed scope. Any variations are priced per item with a written instruction before works proceed. No open-book percentage markups.

Do you handle the CAT A dilapidations split?

Yes. Where a lease requires CAT A reinstatement on exit, we split the quote between permanent CAT B works and end-of-lease reinstatement, so you can plan the dilapidations liability from day one.

What warranty do you provide?

10-year structural warranty where applicable; 2 years on M&E alterations; manufacturer warranties on finishes, carpet, flooring and light fittings passed through to the client.

Are you insured for commercial works in the City and Canary Wharf?

Yes — £10M public liability and £10M professional indemnity. Full cover for works in managed estates including Broadgate, Canary Wharf Group, Great Portland Estates and Grosvenor.

Do you handle landlord licence-to-alter applications?

Yes. Our project manager liaises with the managing agent and landlord's surveyor throughout, including drawings, M&E schedules, and dilapidations undertakings.

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.
