Building and renovation in W14

W14 covers West Kensington, Olympia, Holland Park, Brook Green, Barons Court fringe. Tall Victorian terraces off North End Road, substantial Holland Park villas, red-brick mansion blocks around Olympia and family houses in Brook Green.

Planning and consent in W14

Holland Park and Brook Green carry conservation control where roof form and front elevations are protected. The taller terraces suit internal reconfiguration and lower-ground-floor work more than added footprint.

Access and site logistics

Exhibition traffic at Olympia and permit parking throughout shape delivery planning. Many houses have no rear access, so waste and materials are handled through protected internal routes.

What we are usually asked for here

Multi-storey house renovation with lift and service upgrades
Lower-ground-floor remodelling, light wells and vault conversion
Mansion flat refurbishment under building-management rules
Rear extensions and garden reconfiguration in Brook Green

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.

Basement waterproofing in W14

West Kensington and Olympia have tall terraces with lower ground floors that open to rear gardens, and small self-contained flats in former servants' levels where damp shows quickly on finishes.

We line the retaining walls with cavity drain membrane, run a channel to a sump placed under the hallway or plant cupboard, and use a floor membrane under insulation and screed. Where a rear wall is now above ground we use conventional plaster there rather than over-specifying membrane across the whole room.

A Type C cavity drain system in W14 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 W14?

Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In West Kensington & Olympia we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.

How a W14 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.

Garden designer in W14

West Kensington and Olympia have terrace gardens and mansion-block outdoor space where access through the building governs construction.

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 W14 that access question matters: Exhibition traffic at Olympia and permit parking throughout shape delivery planning. Many houses have no rear access, so waste and materials are handled through protected internal routes.

Roofing in W14

W14 mansion blocks and terraces carry slate roofs, parapets and internal gutters, with roof access often needing building-wide arrangements.

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.
