Builders in SW1

Building and renovation in SW1

SW1 covers Pimlico, Belgravia, Victoria, St James's, Knightsbridge, Westminster. Thomas Cubitt's white stucco terraces in Pimlico and Belgravia, mansion blocks around Victoria, mews houses behind the principal streets and club and office buildings towards St James's.

Planning and consent in SW1

Almost all of SW1 is conservation area and much of it is listed, including interiors. Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea both apply strict basement and external-alteration policies, so consent strategy is decided before design is finalised.

Access and site logistics

Booked loading bays, short working hours, congestion and ULEZ charges, and mansion blocks with their own lift, noise and delivery rules. Access slots are agreed with managing agents before mobilisation.

What we are usually asked for here

• Whole-house and whole-flat renovation in stucco terraces and mansion blocks
• Structural openings and lateral flat combinations with freeholder consent
• Restoration of protected joinery, plasterwork and stucco facades
• Mews house remodelling and lower-ground-floor improvement

We survey the property before pricing, confirm the constraints that apply to your specific address rather than the postcode, and issue a fixed price against a written scope. One site manager runs the trades from first fix to snagging.
