Question 1

What types of renovation are most common in South Kensington mansion blocks (SW7)?

Accepted Answer

Full flat renovations — new kitchen, bathroom, replastered walls, engineered timber or stone floors throughout — are the most common TB&D project type in SW7. The large Victorian mansion blocks around the museum quarter often have flats that were last renovated in the 1980s–90s and need complete updating. Leasehold flats require freeholder or estate agent consent for structural changes. TB&D provides itemised quotes within 48 hours.

Question 2

Can you restore original decorative plasterwork in a South Kensington period flat?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TB&D's plasterer works in lime on period properties and can repair, match and extend original Victorian ceiling roses, cornicing and panel mouldings in SW7 properties. This is specialist work that most standard builders don't offer. TB&D assesses the condition of original plasterwork on the site visit before confirming what can be restored and what needs replication.

Question 3

How much does a full flat renovation cost in a South Kensington mansion block?

Accepted Answer

A full flat renovation in a SW7 mansion block — new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, replastering and decoration — typically costs £70,000–£130,000 depending on flat size and specification. Conservation of original features and period-sympathetic materials push costs toward the upper end. TB&D provides itemised quotes within 48 hours.
