Building and renovation in W12

W12 covers Shepherd's Bush, Askew Road, Wendell Park, White City, Bush Green. Long Victorian terraces around Askew Road and Wendell Park, conversion flats, and large-scale new development around White City and the Westfield estate.

Planning and consent in W12

Conservation coverage is limited to defined pockets, so many rear and loft schemes proceed under permitted development with a lawful development certificate. Party wall work is almost always required on the terraced stock.

Access and site logistics

Permit zones and narrow terraced streets, with event and match-day traffic affecting deliveries near the Green. Grab lorries are often easier than skips where kerbside is contested.

What we are usually asked for here

Side-return kitchen extensions on Victorian terraces
Rear dormer loft conversions with en-suite
Flat conversion and de-conversion works with fire and acoustic upgrades
Whole-house renovation including new roofs and structural repair

We survey the property before pricing, confirm the constraints that apply to your specific address rather than the postcode, and issue a fixed price against a written scope. One site manager runs the trades from first fix to snagging.

Basement waterproofing in W12

Shepherd's Bush and Wendell Park terraces are mostly built with shallow cellars or none at all, over London clay that shrinks and swells seasonally, so cracking and damp at the base of walls are more common than flooding.

Most W12 work is damp remediation and cellar dry-lining rather than full basements: cavity drain membrane on the retaining walls, a floor membrane, and where a sump is needed a single pump with an alarm. Drainage repairs outside are usually part of the fix.

A Type C cavity drain system in W12 is specified after a survey, designed to BS 8102 for the way you intend to use the room, and installed with the drainage channel, sump and pumps left accessible for maintenance. Read the full basement waterproofing and Type C cavity drain guide, or see how it fits into a basement and cellar conversion.

Waterproofing or damp proofing in W12?

Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In Shepherd's Bush we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.

How a W12 quotation works

We visit, find the source of the water, check head height, drainage outfall and any lease or listed-building constraints on your address, then issue a written scope and fixed price covering membrane, channel, sump and pumps and the finished room.

Garden designer in W12

Shepherd's Bush terraces usually have narrow rear gardens where a level terrace, storage and screening make the space usable.

West London gardens are typically long, narrow rear plots behind terraces and semis, often reached only through the house, where levels, drainage near the back wall and privacy planting matter most.

Our garden design and landscaping service covers layout, levels and drainage, planting, terraces and paths, garden lighting and external power, and how materials and plant reach the garden. In W12 that access question matters: Permit zones and narrow terraced streets, with event and match-day traffic affecting deliveries near the Green. Grab lorries are often easier than skips where kerbside is contested.

Roofing in W12

W12 terraces typically need checks on slate or tile coverings, back-addition roofs and party-wall parapets between houses.

Victorian and Edwardian roofs in west London are commonly natural slate or clay tile with valleys, rear-addition flat roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashings that age at different rates.

Roofing work starts with a survey and photographs, then a written scope that states whether repair or replacement is recommended: pitched and flat roofs, leadwork and flashings, guttering and rainwater goods, and the scaffolding the roof needs. Planning, conservation and freeholder requirements for your address are confirmed at survey.
