Builders in Kensington & Chelsea

Your Builders in Kensington & Chelsea, W8

Kensington and Chelsea's stucco-fronted mansions and mews houses are among the most valuable residential stock in London, which means renovation work here carries a level of planning and party-wall complexity most other boroughs don't. Basement digs — extending under a townhouse to add a kitchen, gym or media room — are common, but every one needs a full structural engineer's design, a party-wall agreement with every affected neighbour, and sign-off from the Royal Borough's planning and building control teams before groundworks start.

Many properties are listed or sit within a conservation area, so external changes and even some internal alterations need careful handling to satisfy heritage requirements. We work with your architect from the earliest design stage to keep the scheme deliverable within these constraints, rather than discovering a problem after planning has been submitted.

On site, our engineers work to the standard the borough demands — full public liability insurance, DBS-checked, one main contractor managing every trade from structural work to bespoke joinery — with photo-documented progress through your client portal so you have a complete record even if you're not in London during the works.
