House refurbishment in Notting Hill — restoring and modernising the stucco terraces and villas of the Ladbroke and Pembridge estates, with conservation, structure and finishes under one team.

The houses of Notting Hill — the stucco-fronted terraces and villas of the Ladbroke and Pembridge estates, many backing onto the famous communal garden squares — are among London’s most distinctive. Refurbishing one is about restoring that character while quietly bringing the comfort, services and layout up to modern expectations.
These are conservation-area houses, often with painted stucco fronts, fine plasterwork and timber sashes, so the external fabric is controlled and the interior detail is worth protecting. The work has to respect that: lime where lime belongs, sashes repaired rather than replaced, and any structural change properly engineered.
We take a whole-house view — restoration, structure, services and finishes — and deliver it under one contract, so a Notting Hill house keeps what makes it special and finally performs, with honest budgets in pounds sterling throughout. We also resolve the things these houses commonly throw up: tired services threaded through tall, narrow floor plans, heat loss through solid walls and original sashes, damp where past repairs used the wrong materials, and layouts that no longer suit how the house is lived in.
A Notting Hill house is a conservation-area building with character worth protecting.
Painted stucco fronts sit in a conservation area, so external work is carefully governed.
Plasterwork, sashes and joinery are restored rather than stripped out.
Many houses back onto communal gardens, which shapes what can happen at the rear.
Restoration, structure, services and finishes are planned together, not piecemeal.
