Tell us what you need at your Kensington property. We assess the work, access and team availability before agreeing a visit.

Say which rooms and surfaces are in scope, whether wallpaper is staying or coming off, and whether the property will be occupied — that changes protection and programme more than the postcode alone.

Exterior painting may need colour care on conservation streets and an address-specific consent check; internal redecoration still needs honest photos of cracks, stains and previous coatings before a safe price basis is written.
