Builders in Kensington
Trusted builders in Kensington, London. Property refurbishment, renovations and building works in Kensington. Free quotes from City Building and Roofing Ltd.
City Building and Roofing Ltd are experienced builders working across Kensington — covering W8, W14 and the surrounding streets of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We carry out building and renovation works on the full range of Kensington properties: Georgian terraces, Victorian mansion conversions, Edwardian villas, mews houses and modern apartments.
Kensington is one of London's most desirable residential areas, and building work here demands a higher standard of finish, more careful management of heritage and planning considerations, and greater attention to the quality of materials than most parts of London. We work to that standard — consistently.

Building in Kensington — Our Approach
Kensington's building stock ranges from Grade I and Grade II listed Georgian townhouses to post-war mansion flat conversions and modern residential developments. Each type of property has its own structural characteristics, heritage requirements and expectation of finish quality.
For period properties — particularly those in the Holland Park, Pembridge and Campden Hill conservation areas — we take care to source appropriate materials that comply with planning requirements and maintain the character of the building. Where listed building consent or planning permission is required, we advise on this before work starts.
We work for a range of clients in Kensington: owner-occupiers undertaking complete house renovations, investors refurbishing flats prior to sale or letting, property managers carrying out void refurbishments, and estate agents preparing properties for the prime London market. In each case, we deliver work that meets the standard expected in this part of London.
