Working in Hammersmith and Fulham

Why Hammersmith and Fulham is not a generic London job

Hammersmith Bridge and Craven Cottage is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Hammersmith and Fulham.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Hammersmith and Fulham is two-storey victorian terraces, mansion blocks along the river and new towers at white city and fulham reach, and the mix changes street by street — Barons Court (W14), Brook Green (W6) and Fulham (SW6) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham sets the constraint: very tight cpzs, red routes on the a4 and fulham palace road, and match-day closures around craven cottage and loftus road. Locally that means permit-only streets, mansion-block stair carries and a4 red-route restrictions on the southern edge and mansion blocks with narrow original staircases and no service lift, plus permit bays on every side street. Hammersmith and Fulham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham rules

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham will only discuss a deceased person's council tax account or a bulky waste booking with the named executor or next of kin, and in Hammersmith and Fulham that verification step can take longer than the clearance itself if it is left until the day. We ask for probate or grant of letters of administration, or written executor authority, before the first visit so nobody is turned away at the door.

How the borough got this way

Hammersmith and Fulham took its present shape because market gardens and riverside industry, then dense victorian terracing; the bbc and later westfield reshaped white city.

Method

How a Hammersmith and Fulham booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Hammersmith and Fulham job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Authority confirmed

    Probate, grant of letters of administration or written next of kin authority is checked before a date is booked, so there is never a dispute about who instructed the clearance.

  2. Step 2

    Document search

    Drawers, files, pockets and furniture are checked for wills, deeds and paperwork before anything is loaded, and everything found is returned to the executor unopened.

  3. Step 3

    Retention list agreed

    The executor confirms in writing what is being kept, sold, donated or disposed of, so the clearance itself has no ambiguity on the day.

  4. Step 4

    Sort and clear

    The property is cleared respectfully, with retained items boxed separately and items of possible value held aside for valuation.

  5. Step 5

    Clean, photograph, hand back

    A deep clean, dated photographs and the keys returned, with the handover pack ready for the estate agent or solicitor's file.
