Home Renovation in Kensington

Kensington's housing stock is among the most distinctive in London: white stucco-fronted terraces around the garden squares, red-brick mansion blocks along Kensington High Street and Queen's Gate, Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, and tucked-away mews houses that were never designed as homes at all. Almost all of it is over a century old, and much of it sits within one of the Royal Borough's conservation areas.

That shapes how renovation works here. Facades, windows and rooflines are often protected, so the significant opportunities tend to be internal and to the rear: reworking lateral apartments for open family living, excavating or converting lower-ground floors, extending into rear closet wings, and restoring period detail — cornicing, panelled doors, chequerboard paths — that earlier conversions stripped out.

We handle the specifics that Kensington projects raise: conservation-area consent and listed building applications, party wall agreements with close neighbours, mansion-block head-lease approvals and considerate-construction logistics on narrow streets. Our full home renovation and design & build services cover the whole process.
