Question 1

What renovation work does PSS most often carry out on White City's interwar housing stock in W12?

Accepted Answer

On the older W12 properties around Wood Lane and the streets below the Westway, kitchen replacements and bathroom upgrades — along with the electrical and plumbing work sitting behind them — account for most programmes. These houses typically have compact period layouts: a narrow back kitchen, a single bathroom above. Combining spaces and renewing ageing services produces the most visible improvement, and a combined kitchen-and-bathroom programme on this type of property usually runs six to nine weeks, with all trades on a single coordinated schedule rather than booked in separately.

Question 2

Do I need the freeholder's permission before renovating a flat in White City Place or the Television Centre conversion?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for any structural or wet-trade scope. Leasehold properties within White City Place and the BBC Television Centre residential conversion require written consent — typically a formal works approval from the freeholder or their management company — before you alter the layout, install a wet room, modify drainage, or carry out any structural change. Each building sets its own documentation requirements and insurance thresholds. PSS puts the application package together, liaises directly with the management company, and runs the approval process in parallel with pre-start preparations so it doesn't delay your build start.

Question 3

How much does a full flat renovation cost in White City (W12)?

Accepted Answer

Renovating a two-bedroom W12 flat from top to bottom — new kitchen, one or two bathrooms, full flooring, replastering throughout and complete redecoration — generally costs £68,000 to £107,000. A larger flat or a higher-specification finish takes that figure upward; a targeted kitchen-and-bathroom refresh without full replastering typically comes in at £39,000 to £60,000. The quote you receive at the site visit is broken down by trade and by supply line, giving you clear separate figures for every element before you commit. PSS carries full public liability insurance on every project.
