Expert full home renovation services in Kensington, W8. Trusted by homeowners across Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
A full house renovation in Kensington is about as demanding as residential work gets in London. The grand Victorian and Edwardian mansions around Holland Park, Kensington Palace Gardens, and Campden Hill expect the very best, and we have the people and the resources to deliver it.
These are big multi phase jobs, often twelve to eighteen months on site. We pull together dozens of specialist trades under one programme. Structural engineers, stone masons, heritage plasterers, joiners, marble fabricators, AV integrators, smart home engineers. A senior project manager owns the whole thing from the first hammer blow to the last item on the snag list.
The spec reflects the postcode. Book matched marble bathrooms, hand built kitchens with stone worktops, silk wall coverings, brass hardware made to order, and integrated tech that runs lighting, heating, security, and entertainment off one interface. Every material comes from the best suppliers and gets installed by people at the top of their trade.
RBKC's rules are heavy going. Construction management plans, listed building consents, conservation approvals, noise protocols. All demanding, all well established. Our compliance team builds every one of these into the programme from the start so the job does not stall or pick up penalties along the way.
Kensington's mansion houses are among the most valuable homes anywhere. Renovating them takes expertise, resources, and management well beyond ordinary construction. The quality expectation is absolute and every detail has to land.
Years of work in Kensington means we know what these projects need and what owners here expect. The homes we hand back stand out even on these streets.
“SOM spent fifteen months on our mansion house and the result is extraordinary. Every room is right, every surface is right, every system just works. They ran over thirty specialist trades without a single drama. We honestly could not have asked for more.”
