Types of renovation we handle in W6
Most apartment renovations we handle in W6 fall into a few categories:
• Full flat refurbishments — stripping and rebuilding bathrooms and kitchens, new flooring throughout, full repaint. Typical for landlords between long-term tenancies or homeowners buying to renovate.
• Cosmetic refreshes — repaint, new flooring, maybe a bathroom refresh. Common for between-tenancy turnarounds where the layout is fine but everything needs freshening up.
• Specific room renovations — kitchen or bathroom only, while the rest of the flat stays untouched.
Our most common request in Hammersmith is painting and decorating — full repaints between tenancies, done quickly and properly. We also carry out bathroom renovation and flooring installation regularly across both residential and HMO properties in the area.

Why landlords in Hammersmith use Astralis
Hammersmith is one of West London's busiest rental areas, with strong demand from young professionals working in the City and Canary Wharf. Void periods in W6 are expensive — every week without a tenant costs money, and first impressions matter in a saturated lettings market.
A two-week void in Hammersmith can cost more in lost rent than most renovation jobs. Speed matters as much as quality - we bring both.
HMO Refurbishment in Hammersmith
Hammersmith has a high concentration of HMOs, particularly near the tube stations and within reach of Imperial College and the local universities. Refurbishing an HMO comes with different priorities to a standard flat — higher turnover, more daily wear, and communal spaces that need to hold up to multiple tenants rather than one household.
We approach HMO refurbishment with that in mind:
-
Tougher finishes in shared spaces — flooring and surfaces in communal kitchens and bathrooms built to withstand daily use from several tenants, not just one
-
Communal areas prioritised first — the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom are what every tenant sees and judges the property by, so these get the most attention
-
Fast turnaround between tenancies — HMOs change tenants more often, so we work to timelines that match that pace rather than a standard single-let schedule
If you manage an HMO in Hammersmith and need refurbishment work between tenant turnovers, we understand the faster pace and higher wear this type of property demands.
Can I renovate with tenants in the property?
Yes — we work on occupied properties regularly. It requires a different approach but it's entirely manageable for most types of work.
For painting and decorating we typically work room by room so tenants can still use the rest of the flat. For bathroom or kitchen renovation on an occupied property we agree a clear schedule upfront — the tenant knows exactly which days the room is out of use, so they can prepare beforehand.
What works well with tenants in:
-
Painting and decorating — room by room, minimal disruption
-
Flooring — one area at a time, usually done within a day per room
-
Patch repairs and minor works — same day, in and out
-
Bathroom renovation — manageable if the property has more than one bathroom, which is common in Hampstead
What's better done on a vacant property: full kitchen renovation, full flat refurbishment, any structural work. If your tenant is cooperative and you need to work around them, talk to us — we'll give you an honest answer about whether it's feasible before we quote.

FAQ
Common questions
about Hammersmith.
Can you work with tenants still in the property?
Yes — for painting, flooring, and minor works this is straightforward. We work room by room to minimise disruption. For full bathroom or kitchen renovation on an occupied property we agree a clear schedule with the tenant upfront and stick to it.
What's the cheapest way to improve a Hammersmith flat before selling/letting?
A 2-room repaint — typically a living room and bedroom — costs a few hundred pounds and makes an immediate visual difference. It's the fastest, cheapest way to present a property well without a larger investment.
Do you work weekends?
Yes. We're flexible around what works for you - weekends and bank holidays included.

Not at all. Many of our Hammersmith clients hand over keys at the start and collect them at the end. You'll get daily photo updates throughout so you always know what's happening without needing to visit the site.
