Hammersmith combines Victorian terraces and Edwardian mansion blocks south of King Street with 1960s–70s housing estate stock near the Broadway. A high proportion of conversion flats throughout the Victorian terrace belt. Suspended timber is common in older properties; solid concrete prevails in estate housing. Many conversion flats have chipboard upper floors requiring assessment before any hard flooring installation.
78% 78% of Hammersmith and Fulham households were in flats or maisonettes at the 2021 Census, the highest proportion of any outer London borough, making acoustic underlay requirements and leasehold consent standard considerations for virtually every flooring project in W6. — ONS Census 2021 — Hammersmith and Fulham dwelling type profile
LVT is in high demand across Hammersmith's large conversion flat sector — the area's 78% flat occupancy rate creates constant demand for easy-maintenance hard flooring in kitchens and hallways. In Victorian terrace conversion flats on streets like Beauclerc Road and Niton Street, we ply-board chipboard upper floors before laying click-lock LVT — this stabilises the base and prevents joint separation. In 1960s estate concrete-slab flats, LVT goes directly over the slab after self-levelling compound where needed. In Edwardian mansion blocks with mixed subfloor construction between floors, we assess each flat individually before specifying installation method. Acoustic underlay is required for all upper-floor installations in LBHF properties.
The streets around Ravenscourt Park and Brook Green — Weltje Road, Dalling Road, Stamford Brook Avenue — contain well-maintained Victorian terraces with original suspended timber ground floors. Many have been extended into the rear with ground-level additions. Air brick maintenance is generally better in this owner-occupier-heavy belt than in more transient rental streets closer to the Broadway.
In the Ravenscourt Park and Brook Green Victorian terraces, LVT goes down over a structural ply raft on the suspended timber — without it, click joints separate as the floor flexes. We moisture-test the ground floor and run the LVT through into any rear extension after levelling the slab. Preparation is inside the fixed price.
Purpose-built Edwardian mansion blocks along King Street, Hammersmith Road, and the streets between are a distinct subfloor scenario. Ground and first floors typically have original suspended timber with board subfloors. Upper floors may have solid concrete infill dating from 1930s–60s. The quality of chipboard overlay in these blocks varies widely — many have had multiple layers of flooring applied over decades.
In the Edwardian mansion blocks, where construction changes between floors, we assess each flat and self-level the concrete to match the ply-boarded timber height, running LVT continuously across the transition. Acoustic underlay is specified for all upper-floor LBHF installations.
Post-war housing estates around the Hammersmith Broadway and the North Fulham border — including parts of the Fulham Palace Road estate — have solid concrete subfloors on all levels. These are stable and dry but can be uneven. Self-levelling compound is often required before LVT or laminate. Noise between floors is a common concern in these blocks and high-performance acoustic underlay is particularly important.
The 1960s estate concrete slabs take LVT directly after self-levelling compound where the floor is uneven — we typically glue down in larger open-plan estate flats for maximum stability on hard concrete, with a 19–21dB acoustic underlay to cut noise between floors.
Victorian terraces throughout W6 have been widely converted into two and three-flat arrangements. Upper-floor conversions — the majority of flats on streets like Beauclerc Road and Niton Street — have suspended timber with chipboard overlays. Many chipboard sheets in Hammersmith conversions date from the 1980s–90s and are beginning to degrade; loose sheets must be re-secured or replaced before any new floor. Acoustic requirements are enforced consistently by LBHF managing agents.
In the W6 conversion flats, LVT must not go on loose or uneven chipboard — we re-secure or replace degraded sheets and apply 9mm structural ply over the top, then lay click-lock LVT on a 1.5–2mm acoustic foam underlay satisfying the LBHF managing-agent requirements.
Floors & Fix Fitting Team did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the installation. The flooring was fitted to a very high standard, and the finished result has completely transformed the space. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure every aspect of the job was completed perfectly. I would highly recommend Jon and the team to anyone looking for quality flooring work and reliable service.

LVT must not be laid directly on loose or uneven chipboard. We re-secure or replace any degraded chipboard and apply 9 mm structural ply over the top to create a flat, firm base. This takes more time but is the only way to guarantee the LVT won't lift or joint-separate.
For upper-floor W6 flats we specify a 1.5–2 mm acoustic foam underlay providing 19–21 dB impact sound reduction. Most LBHF managing agent acoustic requirements are satisfied by this specification. We carry technical data sheets for approval requests.
Yes — LVT over self-levelling compound on a solid concrete estate subfloor is straightforward and produces an excellent finish. We typically use glue-down LVT in larger open-plan estate flats for maximum stability on hard concrete.
Yes — we self-level the concrete area to match the ply-boarded timber height and run LVT continuously across the transition. This is a common scenario in Edwardian mansion blocks where the original floor has been partially replaced.
A kitchen-diner and hallway in a Victorian terrace — typically 20–30 m² — including ply boarding and uplift takes one full day. Larger open-plan areas or where significant self-levelling compound is needed may add a half day.
