Retrospective fire strategies for Hammersmith & Fulham buildings
Dense Victorian terraced stock across Fulham split into flats and maisonettes, with the White City regeneration adding tall new-build blocks and a significant commercial and media estate around Hammersmith and Wood Lane.
For buildings where the original fire safety documentation is missing or was never produced. We survey the building as it stands and set out how it actually works, why it is safe, and what has to stay in place to keep it that way.
Built for older stock
We work from the building as found, not from drawings that no longer exist, and record our assumptions and limitations openly.
Compartmentation and escape
The protected routes and compartment lines the building depends on, documented so future works don’t breach them.
Evacuation strategy justified
Whether stay put remains appropriate, and what the strategy rests on, stated in terms a lender or enforcing officer will accept.
Not fire engineering
If your building needs chartered fire engineering input we will say so and tell you what to look for.

Fire safety enforcement in Hammersmith & Fulham
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with London Fire Brigade, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
The council’s housing team also has powers over hazards in residential property under the Housing Act 2004, and licences HMOs in the area. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.

Retrospective fire strategy questions in Hammersmith & Fulham
Why would a building in Hammersmith & Fulham need a retrospective fire strategy?
Almost always because a lender, insurer, warranty provider or enforcing authority has asked for the fire strategy and none exists. Older buildings frequently have no surviving documentation at all.
How much does it cost in Hammersmith & Fulham?
From £950 for a converted house or small block, and from £1,650 for a purpose-built block up to 18 metres. There is no travel charge in Hammersmith & Fulham.
Can you produce one without the original drawings?
Yes. That is exactly what a retrospective strategy is for. We survey the building as built and document what we can and cannot verify.
