How We Work in Kensington
Painting and decorating in Kensington (W8/W14) is often more than a paint-only job. Local housing includes stucco-fronted terraces and mansion blocks, and older homes can carry many layers of past redecoration — emulsion on plaster, oil-based gloss on woodwork, hairline cracks where original plaster meets newer skim. We assess each property and plan preparation, primers and dust protection to suit what we find.
Some roads in this part of London sit inside conservation areas, which can influence exterior colour choice and the type of masonry paint that suits the building. Inside, period details such as coving, ceiling roses, dado rails and panelled doors are best hand-cut rather than masked. Paint is chosen with you to suit the surface, its condition and how the room is used — we recommend a suitable range for the best finish.
Access and logistics matter in Kensington too. Where parking is restricted around Kensington Palace, we plan permits and deliveries in advance. Careful preparation, clear written scopes and a final walkthrough.
