Building and renovation in W10
W10 covers North Kensington, Ladbroke Grove, Kensal Town, Golborne Road, Queen's Park fringe. Victorian terraces of mixed scale, converted flats, post-war estates and a strong stream of period houses being taken back to single-family use.
Planning and consent in W10
Conservation coverage varies street by street in W10, so the address decides whether a rear extension is permitted development or a full application. Roof and mansard schemes depend heavily on the precedent already set along the terrace.
Access and site logistics
Permit parking throughout, narrow back streets around Golborne and market-day restrictions. Skips need licences from RBKC and are often replaced by grab-away collections where kerbside is tight.
What we are usually asked for here
- De-conversion of flats back to a single house
- Rear and side-return extensions with new drainage
- Mansard and dormer loft conversions where the terrace precedent supports it
- Full renovation including rewiring, replumbing and damp remediation
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.

North Kensington's tall Victorian terraces frequently have lower ground flats set half below pavement level, with front areas, light wells and old vaults under the street that collect water.
We clear and re-fall the front area, repair gullies, then line the lower ground floor with cavity drain membrane, a perimeter channel and a twin-pump sump placed where the discharge can reach the front drain without crossing a neighbour's demise.
A Type C cavity drain system in W10 is specified after a survey, designed to BS 8102 for the way you intend to use the room, and installed with the drainage channel, sump and pumps left accessible for maintenance. Read the full basement waterproofing and Type C cavity drain guide, or see how it fits into a basement and cellar conversion.
Waterproofing or damp proofing in W10?
Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In North Kensington & Ladbroke Grove we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.
How a W10 quotation works
We visit, find the source of the water, check head height, drainage outfall and any lease or listed-building constraints on your address, then issue a written scope and fixed price covering membrane, channel, sump and pumps and the finished room.
Kitchen and bathroom renovation in W10
Kitchen and bathroom remodelling in North Kensington and Ladbroke Grove covers strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, any structural work, tiling, fixtures and joinery, managed by one site manager against a detailed written quotation.
Kitchen remodelling in W10
North Kensington's terraces and conversion flats are usually tight on floor area, so kitchen remodelling focuses on storage, a practical layout and reusing existing service positions where the budget matters.
Kitchen renovation in London →Bathroom remodelling in W10
Bathroom renovation in W10 often means reorganising a small room to fit a full-size shower, with new ventilation ducted to an external wall and a properly tanked floor.
Bathroom renovation in London →Every W10 kitchen or bathroom quotation starts with a site survey: we check waste and stack positions, water pressure, extract routes, floor structure and any lease or conservation requirements for your address before pricing.
Garden designer in W10
North Kensington gardens range from compact terrace gardens to communal spaces, where durable surfaces and simple planting work well.
West London gardens are typically long, narrow rear plots behind terraces and semis, often reached only through the house, where levels, drainage near the back wall and privacy planting matter most.
Our garden design and landscaping service covers layout, levels and drainage, planting, terraces and paths, garden lighting and external power, and how materials and plant reach the garden. In W10 that access question matters: Permit parking throughout, narrow back streets around Golborne and market-day restrictions. Skips need licences from RBKC and are often replaced by grab-away collections where kerbside is tight.

W10's terraced roofs often combine slate main roofs and rear flat roofs, so drainage and lead junctions are checked together.
Victorian and Edwardian roofs in west London are commonly natural slate or clay tile with valleys, rear-addition flat roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashings that age at different rates.
Roofing work starts with a survey and photographs, then a written scope that states whether repair or replacement is recommended: pitched and flat roofs, leadwork and flashings, guttering and rainwater goods, and the scaffolding the roof needs. Planning, conservation and freeholder requirements for your address are confirmed at survey.
