Property Renovation Tip for Fulham Homeowners
Fulham Victorians often have rear additions built in stages — a scullery, then a bathroom, then a lean-to. These piecemeal extensions are usually poorly built and thermally inefficient. The best renovation approach is often to demolish the lot and build a single, properly designed extension with good insulation, modern glazing, and a coherent floor plan. It costs more upfront than working with the existing structures, but the end result is dramatically better in terms of space, light, and energy efficiency.
What a Fulham property renovation typically covers
Three patterns cover most of what we do for full renovations in SW6. Victorian terrace renovation is the most common. Buyers commission full refurbishments after purchase to bring period houses up to current standards. Scope includes complete rewire to BS 7671 (most pre-1990 wiring is non-compliant), replumbing including replacement of original lead supply pipes (common on pre-1970 properties), structural opening-up of the ground floor, new kitchen and bathrooms throughout, plastering, and complete decoration. Cost is £120,000-£250,000 depending on size. Build time 18-26 weeks with one team and a single project manager. Wraparound extension combined with full renovation is the second pattern, common when the property needs both modernisation and additional living space. Single coordinated project covering structural extension work plus the rest of the refurbishment. Cost is £200,000-£400,000. Build time 24-32 weeks. Significant economies vs running the extension and renovation as separate projects: typically 10-15% cost saving and 4-8 weeks shorter total programme. Mansion flat renovation (the Edwardian mansion blocks near Fulham Broadway) is the third pattern. Scope includes rewiring, new kitchen and bathroom, plastering, and decoration, often within Section 20 leaseholder obligations to the freeholder. Cost is £40,000-£90,000 for a typical 2-bed mansion flat. Build time 8-14 weeks. Coordination with the freeholder and building manager is required throughout.
Why Fulham renovation budgets are high (and where the money goes)
Fulham renovation costs are 25-40% above outer London equivalents. Three reasons. First, specification: Fulham clients typically specify natural stone worktops (Calacatta or Carrara marble), bespoke joinery for kitchens and built-ins, premium sanitaryware (Duravit, Lefroy Brooks, Drummonds), Crittall-style or thermally broken aluminium glazing, and premium hardwood or natural stone flooring throughout. The materials cost difference vs mid-range trade specification is typically £30,000-£70,000 on a full house renovation. Second, foundation and structural costs: London Clay subsoil requires foundations of 1.2-1.5 metres for any extension or structural opening-up. Properties near mature trees on Fulham Palace Road or in the larger gardens may need piled foundations. Properties within 200-300 metres of the Thames may need a Flood Risk Assessment. These conditions add £5,000-£15,000 over flat-site equivalents. Third, project management and trade rates: Fulham trade rates are at the top end of London because of access constraints, high client expectations, and the concentration of high-value projects. Project management overhead on a 24-week renovation is significantly higher than on a 12-week extension because the schedule complexity grows non-linearly. Return on investment is also high. A well-executed Fulham full renovation typically returns 1.4-1.6× build cost in property value uplift, which is among the strongest in London. We provide a fixed-price contract before work starts, and the price doesn't change unless the specification does.
Project management and oversight on a Fulham renovation
A Fulham full renovation typically involves 12-18 different trades over 18-26 weeks: demolition, structural engineering, foundations, drainage, electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering, joinery, kitchen fitting, tiling, flooring, glazing, painting, decoration, decoration. Coordinating these without a single project manager is where most renovations fail. We assign one project manager to your renovation from survey through handover. They run the weekly programme of works, schedule the trades, manage the materials deliveries, run the site safety, and report progress with photo updates throughout the build. They're available by phone throughout the build and respond to queries within working hours. If a trade hits a problem, the project manager makes the decision rather than waiting for you to coordinate. Building Control inspections happen at structure, drainage, insulation, and completion stages. We submit applications, schedule the inspections, and obtain the final completion certificate at handover. Structural engineer calculations and FENSA glazing registration are included for every project that needs them. Section 20 notices to the freeholder for mansion flat renovations are handled directly with the building manager. Fixed-price contracts cover labour, materials, all fees, planning fees, Building Control fees, structural engineer calculations, FENSA registration, and any conservation area or Listed Building Consent applications. The contract is signed before any work starts. We've run full property renovations across South and West London since 2020 with a strong record of finishing within the original schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a full property renovation cost in Fulham?
- A full renovation of a typical 4-5 bedroom Victorian terrace in SW6 lands at £120,000-£250,000 depending on size and specification. Adding a wraparound extension takes the total to £200,000-£400,000 for a single coordinated project. Mansion flat renovations are £40,000-£90,000 for a typical 2-bed. Cost premium over outer London is 25-40%, mostly in specification (natural stone, bespoke joinery, premium fixtures) and foundation work. We provide a fixed-price contract before any work starts. The price doesn't change unless the specification does.
- How long does a Fulham renovation take?
- Eighteen to twenty-six weeks for a Victorian terrace full renovation, depending on scope and specification. Combined renovation plus wraparound extension takes 24-32 weeks. Mansion flat renovation takes 8-14 weeks. Schedule is roughly: weeks 1-2 demolition and structural opening-up, weeks 3-6 foundations and drainage, weeks 7-10 first-fix electrics and plumbing, weeks 11-14 plastering and second fix, weeks 15-20 kitchen and bathroom fitting, weeks 21-26 painting, decoration, and snagging. Photo updates throughout the build throughout. Since 2020 we've completed full renovations with a strong record of finishing within the original schedule.
- Should I demolish the existing rear addition or work around it?
- Usually demolish, on most Fulham Victorian terraces. The original rear additions (sculleries, kitchens, lean-tos built between 1880 and 1950) typically have inadequate foundations, single-skin walls, no insulation, and poor structural integrity. Working around them creates a renovation with awkward layouts, persistent damp problems, and a thermal weak point. Demolishing and rebuilding as a single coherent extension with proper foundations and insulation produces a significantly better result. The cost difference is typically £25,000-£50,000 but the property value uplift is £75,000-£150,000.
- Why hire All Well for a Fulham property renovation?
- Five reasons. First, single project manager from survey to handover with photo updates throughout the build. Second, fixed-price contracts: projects since 2020 means we price accurately and absorb our own surprises. Third, full accreditation: NICEIC electrical, FENSA glazing, Gas Safe boiler work, structural engineer calculations, and Building Control sign-off included.
