Renovations in South Kensington
High-spec bathrooms, kitchens and flat renovations in South Kensington, with the plumbing, tiling and finishing done by our own team.
Renovating in South Kensington
South Kensington is mostly white stucco terraces and conversion flats, where bathrooms are often small and every centimetre counts. Our South Kensington bathroom remodel uses large marble-effect tiles and a backlit mirror to make a compact room feel bigger.
In a converted flat the plumbing and waste routes are shared with neighbours, so we survey them first and plan the layout around what the building allows.
- Full flat and house renovations
- Bathrooms and en-suites
- Kitchens
- Flooring, staircases and decorating
- Projects managed for owners abroad
Our work in South Kensington
Planning, permits and parking
South Kensington is largely in conservation areas, and many buildings are listed. A bathroom or kitchen inside a flat usually needs no planning permission, but listed buildings need consent and the freeholder may need to approve the work. We check both before we start.
We book parking bay suspensions and waste collection with the council where needed, and show the cost in your quote.
How we run London projects
Our base is in Cambridge. In London we plan each job so it runs as smoothly as a local one.
Planned in blocks
London work runs in planned blocks, so the team stays on your job until each stage is done.
Parking and permits
We book bay suspensions and waste collection with the council, and list the cost.
Regular updates
Photo updates as the work goes, and a clear summary each week.
No hidden extras
Parking, the Congestion Charge and waste are separate lines in your quote, at cost.
Questions
Can you fit a bigger shower into a small flat bathroom?
Often, yes. We check the floor, the waste route and the water pressure at the site visit, then show you the options before you choose.
Do you work in flats with a freeholder or managing agent?
Yes. We provide the insurance, method statement and programme they ask for, and work within the building rules.
Are you insured?
Yes. AB Building & Renovations Ltd holds public liability insurance of £5 million. We can send the certificate on request.
Other London areas
We also take projects in Belgravia, Holland Park, Fulham, Chiswick, Barnes, Richmond, Wimbledon, Marylebone, St John’s Wood, Highgate and Islington.
