Walk Hammersmith from Hammersmith Bridge and the Riverside Studios outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 85% of the 3,807 households in W6 live in flats, 15% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 23% in Hammersmith, so alongside the 38% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Hammersmith substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hammersmith, often with surface conduit — which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hammersmith actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in W6, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a W6 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hammersmith: riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Nearest station is Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City), and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.
