Colour, sheen and occupied-room sequence belong in the written package. On mansion flats & modern blocks in Victoria, shared risers, lifts and freeholder rules often decide method before materials are ordered. Floor level and building notes belong in the brief.

We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
