Victorian house renovation in Notting Hill — solid-wall stucco homes brought up to modern comfort while keeping their character, with damp, sash windows and layout all properly addressed.

Much of Notting Hill is Victorian stucco, and these houses share a familiar set of issues: solid, rendered walls that lose heat, original sash windows that need attention, dated layouts, tired services, and damp where past repairs used the wrong materials. A good Victorian renovation tackles all of it while protecting the proportions and detail that make the house special.
The right approach is breathable. Solid Victorian walls behind a stucco render do not behave like modern cavity walls, so insulation, damp treatment and finishes have to let the structure breathe rather than seal it up. Get that wrong and you create the very damp you were trying to cure; get it right and the house is warm, dry and characterful.
We restore the stucco, sashes, cornices and joinery, improve the layout where it genuinely helps, renew the services and address damp at its cause — all in one contract, so a Victorian house keeps its character and finally performs, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.
Victorian solid walls behave differently from modern ones — the approach has to be breathable.
Insulation and finishes must let rendered solid walls breathe, or they trap moisture and cause damp.
