Listed Buildings in Kensington
Design-and-build work on listed buildings in Kensington and South Kensington, with consent established first and restoration matched to original fabric.
Listed Buildings in Kensington
Owning a listed building brings obligations as well as character. Alterations that affect its special interest need listed building consent, including some internal work that would pass without comment in an unlisted house.
We work as design-and-build contractors on listed buildings in Kensington and South Kensington. Every project begins by establishing what the listing covers and what the proposed work will need.
Consent before construction
Consent is required for works that affect a building’s special architectural or historic interest, inside or out, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. We confirm what is required with the local authority before the scheme is developed in detail.
The design is then shaped around what the building allows, and the people who draw it are the people who build it. On a listed property that continuity matters, because the details agreed at consent stage must be carried through on site.
Restoration and repair
Our external restoration of facades, brickwork and windows is sympathetic and precise, and true to the architecture of the borough. Where new joinery or stonework is needed, it is made to match the original in material and proportion.
Kitchens, bathrooms and services can often be updated within a listed house, subject to consent and to how the changes affect the building. The same approach applies to period properties that are not listed.
