Working in Kensington
Renovation and tiling for Kensington homes
Kensington has grand Victorian terraces, garden squares, mansion blocks and converted flats, many in conservation areas, alongside Holland Park and Notting Hill on its edges.
Projects here usually focus on quality: marble or stone bathrooms, herringbone floors, en-suites in converted bedrooms and complete refurbishments of lateral flats. These need careful preparation and an eye for proportion and detail.
Converted period buildings bring extra considerations, including shared structures, freeholder or managing agent approval, restricted working hours and the need to protect neighbouring flats. We factor these into the plan from the start.
We cover Kensington together with Chelsea, Holland Park, Notting Hill and Fulham, and the wider Central and West London area.
Victorian terraces
Several floors of bathrooms and en-suites, often with original features to respect.
Lateral & mansion flats
Large flats in period buildings where building rules shape the schedule.
Converted houses
Flats over several levels with shared walls, floors and drainage.

Local know-how
Common problems we see in Kensington properties
Approval and building rules
Converted buildings often need landlord or managing agent sign-off. Building these steps into the timeline avoids delays.
Old, altered plumbing
Decades of changes can leave awkward pipe runs. We check what's there before designing the new layout.
Floors that move
Old timber floors need stiffening before stone or large tiles to prevent cracking.
Moisture in internal bathrooms
Bathrooms without windows need effective ventilation to avoid mould and grout failure.
Renovating a bathroom in a Kensington flat
In a converted or mansion-block flat, the paperwork comes first. Check your lease for alteration clauses, ask your managing agent about working hours and notice periods, and allow time for approvals before fixing a start date.
Bathrooms in Kensington flats are often internal, without windows. A properly sized extractor, ideally with a humidity sensor, is essential to stop condensation damaging grout, silicone and paintwork, and should be planned in from the beginning.
If you're refurbishing to sell or let, focus on the bathroom and floors that buyers and tenants notice first. Our pre-sale service assesses the property and recommends targeted improvements, though we don't guarantee any effect on price.
From Kensington High Street and Earl's Court to Holland Park and the streets towards Notting Hill, we take the same careful approach: a free visit, a clear written quote, and staged payments of 30% to book, 35% at halfway and 35% on completion. Work runs Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, and we don't take emergency call-outs, so each planned project gets proper attention.
