What Shepherd’s Bush properties actually throw up
- Victorian terraces, many split into flats — Decades of partial conversions layered on top of each other. Old junction boxes buried in ceilings and pipework that goes nowhere are normal findings.
- Ex-local-authority blocks — Solid construction, but concrete floors and walls change how everything is fixed and chased. It is slower work and we price it as such.
- Landlord and HMO stock — High turnover, hard wear. Specification matters more than finish here — durable flooring, robust ironmongery, and surfaces that survive tenants.
W12 has more converted and rented stock than most of West London, which means two things: the wiring and pipework have usually been altered more than once, and a lot of our work here is turning a tired flat around fast between tenancies without cutting corners on the things that cause callbacks.

How we work
- Fixed price, agreed before we start. We survey the property, price the risks we can see, and hold that figure. We do not price low and find extras later.
- One team, one contact. Every trade is ours, so there is no gap between the plumber finishing and the tiler turning up, and nobody to blame if something is wrong.
- Two-year workmanship warranty on completed works.
- CDM Principal Contractor and Principal Designer qualified — the health and safety duty-holder role most small builders cannot take on, and a requirement on larger domestic projects.
- Over 100 completed projects across West London, including an eleven-flat commercial conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a builder cost in Shepherd’s Bush?
For defined works we quote a fixed price rather than a day rate. As a guide, a bathroom refit starts from £3,500 + VAT and a full one or two-bed flat refurbishment from £18,000 + VAT. Small repair visits are quoted individually.
Do you charge for a quote or a site visit?
No. The survey and the written fixed-price quote are free, and there is no obligation.
How long does a bathroom take in Shepherd’s Bush?
Seven to ten working days for a standard three-piece refit. Layout changes, wet rooms and premium tiling run to two or three weeks, because the first-fix plumbing and tanking take longer.
Do I need planning permission to renovate in Shepherd’s Bush?
Hammersmith & Fulham Council covers planning and Building Control. Internal work normally needs no planning permission, but if the property is or becomes a house in multiple occupation there are separate licensing and fire safety requirements. We tell you what applies before starting.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Shepherd’s Bush?
Yes — between-tenancy refreshes, full refurbishments and planned maintenance. Fixed prices and defined completion dates, which is usually what matters most when a property is standing empty.
Which areas near Shepherd’s Bush do you cover?
Shepherd’s Bush (W12), Acton, Hammersmith, Ealing, and the rest of West London.
