Period fabric around Paddington often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — first-fix services, waterproofing or extract, and finishes must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name. The Paddington record headed “Norfolk Place” belongs in the kitchen renovation brief where it intersects first-fix services, waterproofing or extract, and finishes. That is a street often referenced for Paddington (W2). Confirm the exact unit — not the street label alone. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
