We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites where rooftop and upward extension schemes are most common. The practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Party wall services are nearly always involved given the borough's dense building pattern.
On homeowner-led upward extensions across Fulham and Hammersmith's terraced streets, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, neighbour relations, and protection of the existing structure during construction. Rights of light assessments are common given the tight plot density and impact of new height on neighbouring residential windows.
Airspace work in Hammersmith and Fulham typically sits alongside daylight and sunlight, rights of light, and party wall workstreams on the same scheme. The same surveyor stays on the project from instruction to handover.
Where airspace work is feasible, the planning route depends on building type and proposed height. Some upward extensions on detached and semi-detached houses can proceed under permitted development with prior approval. Rooftop additions to blocks of flats almost always need a full planning application. A free initial assessment covers feasibility and the most likely route on a specific site.
