We’re working together with Thames Water to undertake works to improve the infrastructure of Studdridge Street, in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The work will last approximately eight weeks, from 5 October 2026 to 11 December 2026.
By working together, we are able to reduce the amount of time it would take to carry out both upgrades separately, meaning we will save eight weeks of disruption for residents.
Details of the works:
Traffic management
To carry out our works safely and access the pipes, a road closure is required. However, to further minimise disruption, we have planned the road closure in a number of phases to maintain access to residents around our works, but there will be no through route for traffic.
Please plan extra time for your journeys during these works and familiarise yourself with the closures below.
| Planned Start Date | Duration (weeks) | Street | Traffic Management Type | Works Location Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| w/c 5 October | 8 | Studdridge Street | Rolling road closure | From Wandsworth Bridge Road to Peterborough Road |
| w/c 5 October | 3 | Bowerdean Street | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 5 October | 3 | Perrymead Street | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 19 October | 4 | Chipstead Street | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 26 October | 3 | Quarrendon Street | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 26 October | 3 | Chiddingstone | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 2 November | 5 | Bradbourne | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
| w/c 9 November | 5 | Coniger Road | Junction closure | Closed at the junction with Studdridge Street |
*Dates may vary if we encounter any unforeseen engineering challenges or if we’re able to complete sections of work sooner than anticipated. Access
We will work with residents to maintain access to properties during our works, however, occasionally there may be short periods during the works where access will be temporarily restricted whilst we carry out certain activities using special machinery. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works. Some parking bays near the work area will need to be temporarily suspended to allow us to carry out the works safely. Please check the on-street signage for details of the affected bays and suspension dates.
Diversion
During the road closure on Studdridge Street, all non-residential traffic will need to follow the signposted diversions. Residents on the adjoining roads listed above will need to access their road from New Kings Road.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these essential works
We’re upgrading the ageing gas pipes to tough, durable, long-lasting plastic pipes, which are expected to last over 80 years and will help reduce the likelihood of disruptive, unplanned work to repair ageing gas pipes in the future. Just as importantly, this work will ensure the network is safely carrying gas to heat your properties, provide hot water and cook your food.
If your property is on a road where we’re replacing the gas pipes, then we’ll need to turn off your gas supply for a short period of time on one or two days, starting from approximately 7.30-8.30am until approximately 8pm at night. We’ll send you a letter if this directly affects you to let you know when this will be.
If you haven’t got gas by 7:30pm, please call our customer care team on 0800 085 4478 and let them know.
If you’re registered on the Priority Service Register (PSR) or eligible to be registered, our team will offer alternative heating and cooking facilities.
There may be times when the team isn’t visible on site during the allotted hours. Although it may appear that no one is working at the site itself, they’ll be working in surrounding roads to insert pipes, make connections and to carry out testing, as well as allow for concrete curing. It is only once we are satisfied that the new pipe is safely supplying gas to customers that we can fill in the holes and tidy up.
Once the work is complete, we’ll fill in the holes and resurface the area we’ve dug up, to nationally approved highways standards. We match the colour and texture to the existing surfaces as closely as we can, but new surfaces will take time to weather.
There may be times when holes have not been filled back in. This is due to sound operational reasons. For example, the nature of our work means it’s often necessary for a hole to remain open to provide access to gas pipes in connection with gas pipes in other roads that we’re working in.
We have a commitment to fill holes and return the paths and driveways on your property back to normal within five working days of your gas going back on. If you have a path or driveway made of specialist or hard-to-source materials, such as printed concrete, this may take slightly longer.
We need to carry out our work during the day as we need access to properties to upgrade their gas service (that’s the smaller pipe that connects gas to their property).
When we do this, we need to turn off their gas supply temporarily, test their gas appliances and turn their gas back on.
Yes, we will maintain access to properties during road closures. If you have any access needs that we need to be aware of, please let our on-site teams know so that we can accommodate you.
