Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush are dominated by Victorian terraces and mansion blocks, many converted into flats, with riverside properties along the Thames. The ground is river terrace gravels over London Clay, and decades of alterations, from removed chimney breasts to rear extensions, mean the existing structure often needs checking before more work is done. We regularly work in W6, W12 and W14.

Common reasons clients in Hammersmith & Shepherd’s Bush call us
• Checks on past alterations, such as removed walls and chimney breasts
• Cracking in Victorian terraces and bay windows
• Alterations to flats and mansion blocks
• Side return extensions and loft conversions
• Pre-purchase checks after a RICS survey flags a concern

Because we also design drainage, we can identify when a leaking drain is behind the movement and design the fix.

Local questions

A previous owner removed a chimney breast. How do I know it’s supported?
This is one of the most common issues we find in Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush terraces. We inspect the loft and ceilings for steel beams or gallows brackets. If there’s no evidence of support, we recommend opening up and design a fix if needed. Chimney breast removal →

Can I move my kitchen or bathroom in a mansion block flat?
Usually, but heavy finishes, new openings or changes to the floor structure need checking. We assess the floor and any walls affected. You’ll also need consent from the freeholder.

Guide prices: specific inspection of one defect £950 + VAT, general inspection of the whole property approx. £1,700 + VAT.
