Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Parts of W14 fall within Edith Road Conservation Area and Olympia Conservation Area — these need full planning, while the eastern blocks toward Earls Court Road often retain PD rights. If you're in a conservation area or your property is listed, listed-building consent may be needed for layout changes, sash-window replacement or chimney works. We check the specific address before quoting.

Late-Victorian terraces with tile-hung gables and outriggers, plus large red-brick mansion blocks on the main roads. On this kind of housing in W14, whole-house refurbishments most commonly involve new layout (often opening up the ground floor), full rewire, new heating, new kitchen and bathrooms, and finishes throughout. Period restoration is more common on listed properties and conservation-area frontages.

Allow 4–10 weeks for design and procurement, then 6–10 weeks on site for a kitchen, 3–5 weeks for a bathroom, 4–8 months for a whole-house refurb, and 8–14 months for period restoration. LB Hammersmith & Fulham processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.

Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most West Kensington clients rent locally for 3–6 months during the works. We coordinate the programme with break clauses so you're not paying double rent at the end.
