Planned maintenance Chelsea: the difference between managing property and being managed by it.
Sarah Mitchell manages twelve mansion blocks across Chelsea SW3 and Knightsbridge SW1X. She called us three years ago about a single EICR certificate. What she needed, and what she now has, was something different. One contractor. Every trade. Every certification. Every emergency. One call. One monthly statement. Zero missed renewals. Zero penalty notices. Zero 3 am calls to contractors who do not answer.
That is what planned maintenance Chelsea looks like when it is working correctly.
Three years ago, before she called us, her twelve properties required her to track forty-eight annual certifications, twelve EICR renewals on five-year rolling cycles, twelve Gas Safety Inspections annually, twelve boiler services annually, and twelve PAT tests on the furnished properties. Forty-eight individual renewal dates. Forty-eight separate contractors to coordinate. Forty-eight opportunities for something to expire and create a penalty.
She now tracks zero. We track all forty-eight. She receives one notification thirty days before each renewal. She makes one call. We attend, certify, and file. The penalty exposure across a twelve-property Chelsea portfolio up to £30,000 per EICR breach, and criminal prosecution for a lapsed Gas Safety certificate is eliminated by a programme that costs less per month than a single void period caused by an expired certificate.
That is the commercial case for planned maintenance Chelsea.
Not the service. The mathematics.

Planned maintenance Chelsea is a scheduled programme of inspections, certifications, and repairs managed by a single contractor across a property or portfolio. It is the alternative to reactive maintenance, attending problems after they have already caused damage, disruption, or penalty.
For a letting agent, estate manager, or portfolio landlord in Chelsea and Knightsbridge, planned maintenance has a specific commercial value that reactive maintenance cannot replicate.
A property that is maintained on a planned programme does not produce 3 am emergency calls from tenants. It does not produce enforcement notices from RBKC for expired EICR certificates. It does not produce void period extensions because certification was not arranged before the new tenancy began. It does not produce the internal water damage that an annual roof inspection at £150 would have prevented at a fraction of the cost.
The alternative reactive maintenance is not cheaper. It is more expensive, more disruptive, and more legally exposed. The difference is not the quality of the contractor. It is the structure of the relationship.
Planned maintenance Chelsea from £200 per month per property. Portfolio pricing for three or more properties. Free consultation. Call 020 7129 7418.
Planned maintenance Chelsea certification programme: every certificate across every property in the portfolio is managed from one call.
EICR Certificate – every 5 years: From £240 + VAT per property. Legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Penalty for non-compliance up to £30,000 per property enforced by RBKC. Renewed before expiry with 30-day advance notification. NICEIC approved. Certificate issued same day.
Gas Safety Inspection (CP12) – annually: £110 + VAT per property. Legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Criminal offence to allow this to lapse. Combined with boiler service from £210 + VAT in a single visit. Gas Safe registered. Certificate issued same day.
PAT Testing – annually for furnished properties: £105 + VAT including 12 appliances. Required by most specialist landlord insurance policies for furnished properties. NICEIC approved. Certificate issued same day.
Boiler Service – annually: £120 + VAT. Required to maintain manufacturer warranty and prevent breakdown. Combined with Gas Safety Inspection from £210 + VAT. Gas Safe registered. Service record issued same day.
Combined visits – where certifications fall simultaneously: EICR and PAT testing in one visit. Gas Safety Inspection and boiler service in one visit. One access request to tenant. One engineer. Both certificates issued same day. The most commercially efficient approach for occupied Chelsea rental properties where tenant access requires advance coordination.
Planned maintenance Chelsea all trades Gas Safe plumbers, NICEIC electricians, roofers, decorators, joiners, and structural team all directly employed. No subcontractors. No separate plumber, electrician, and decorator to coordinate.
When a Chelsea mansion block on Cadogan Square requires a boiler repair, a leak investigation, and between-tenancy redecoration simultaneously, one call, one team, one fixed price, coordinated within the void period by one project manager.
The alternative, separate trades each with their own availability, their own pricing, and their own access requirements, adds programme time that costs the landlord rental income. At £5,000-£7,500 per month for a Chelsea property, a void period extended by two weeks by poor trade coordination costs £2,500-£3,750 in lost rental income on top of the maintenance cost itself.
All trades in-house eliminate the coordination problem.
Planned maintenance Chelsea quarterly inspection. Every property is inspected four times per year by our team. Written condition report produced after every inspection. Issues identified and categorised by urgency: immediate action required, attention within 30 days, and monitor and review. Fixed price for every identified item before any work begins.
The quarterly inspection catches the issues that produce the highest consequential costs when missed:
A roof tile displaced by autumn winds identified at the October inspection and repaired for £220 before winter water ingress causes £3,500 of ceiling damage.
A boiler pressure drop identified at the January inspection and investigated before the February cold snap produces a breakdown and a tenant complaint.
A bathroom sealant failing identified at the April inspection and resealed for £85 before water ingress causes floor structure damage costing £1,200 to repair.
The inspection does not prevent maintenance costs. It prevents the consequential costs that are always larger than the maintenance costs they follow.
Quarterly property inspection included in all planned maintenance Chelsea contracts from Silver level. Written report. Fixed-price quotation for every identified item. Call 020 7129 7418.
Planned maintenance Chelsea emergency response: Gas Safe plumbers, NICEIC electricians, and roofers available 24/7 across Chelsea SW3, Knightsbridge SW1X, Belgravia SW1, and South Kensington SW7. Real person answers immediately. Engineer dispatched within minutes. 45-60 minute response.
For letting agents and property managers whose Chelsea tenants expect immediate response to heating failures, burst pipes, and electrical faults, particularly the international and corporate tenants in the highest-value SW3 and SW1X properties, planned maintenance Chelsea emergency response delivers the standard the tenancy demands.
Emergency call-out from £95 + VAT. Same rate at any hour. No surge pricing. Gas Safe certificate issued same day for all gas work. NICEIC certificate issued same day for all electrical work.
Priority scheduling planned maintenance Chelsea clients receive priority attendance over non-contract clients.
Planned maintenance Chelsea between-tenancy maintenance: all repairs, updates, and maintenance items identified at the end of one tenancy are completed and ready for the next. All trades in-house. Fixed price. Coordinated within the void period by one project manager to minimise lost rental income.
The void period in a Chelsea SW3 or Knightsbridge SW1X property costs the landlord £5,000-£7,500 per month in lost rental income. Every additional day the void extends beyond the minimum required for maintenance costs money that maintenance cannot recover.
Between-tenancy maintenance managed by Chelsea PR&M within the minimum void period: certifications arranged, maintenance completed, decoration refreshed, property ready for the new tenancy on the confirmed start date.
Between-tenancy maintenance from £500. Decoration from £1,200 for a one-bedroom flat. Full pre-tenancy renovation where required from £3,500. All from the same team. All coordinated. All fixed price.
Georgian townhouse renovation in Belgravia, the complete renovation of a Cubitt-built Georgian townhouse across all floors, from the roof to the lower ground floor kitchen. Georgian townhouses in Belgravia are typically five to six floors, including the lower ground floor. A significant renovation programme that requires the full range of trades coordinated across multiple floor levels over a programme of twelve to twenty weeks, depending on the scope.
The defining characteristics of a Georgian townhouse renovation in Belgravia, lime plaster on lath throughout, original joinery and features on every floor, listed conditions covering the complete building fabric, and the programme management challenge of five or six dependent renovation stages across five or six floor levels are the characteristics that our all-trades-in-house approach is specifically designed to address.
Grade I listed house renovation in Belgravia is the highest category of listed protection, covering buildings of exceptional architectural and historic interest. Grade I listed buildings in Belgravia include some of the finest examples of Regency and early Victorian domestic architecture in the country — buildings where every element of the original fabric is specifically protected and where Listed Building Consent is required for almost any intervention that affects original features.
Grade I listed house renovation in Belgravia requires pre-application consultation with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s conservation team before any formal application is submitted, an agreed specification reviewed and approved in principle by the conservation team, and ongoing conservation team liaison throughout the renovation programme to confirm that the work proceeds in accordance with the consent conditions.
We manage this complete process, pre-application consultation, consent application, conservation team liaison during the programme, and consent condition management at handover, as a standard element of Grade I listed house renovation projects in Belgravia.
House refurbishment for Belgravia properties where the scope is more limited than a full renovation, updating services, refreshing decoration and finishes, addressing specific maintenance items, and improving specific rooms rather than a complete programme covering every element of the building. House refurbishment in a Belgravia listed building still requires listing condition assessment at the start, because even a limited refurbishment programme in a Belgravia Georgian townhouse may encounter original features that require consent or lime plaster that requires correct repair.
Whole house renovation in Belgravia, a complete renovation covering every room on every floor of a Belgravia Georgian townhouse or a significant listed apartment building. Whole-house renovation in Belgravia at this scale produces the most significant and most enduring result of any renovation programme, because every element of the building is addressed in one coordinated programme rather than in a series of partial renovations that accumulate cost and disruption over the years.
The Belgrave Square renovation was a whole house renovation, roof to lower ground floor, all five floors, all ten principal rooms, all three bathrooms, the kitchen, all services, all original feature restoration, all decoration and flooring. Eighteen weeks. One programme. One fixed price.
Period property renovation across Belgravia covering the full range of pre-1914 property types in the SW1 postcode, from the principal garden square Georgian townhouses to the Edwardian mansion blocks on the surrounding streets. Period property renovation in Belgravia requires specific knowledge of the construction methods, materials, and listing conditions of each building type, such as lime plaster on lath in Georgian townhouses, concrete construction in Edwardian mansion blocks, and the specific listing conditions that apply to each.
What Is Included in Our House Renovation Belgravia Service
Roof assessment, repair, and replacement by our in-house roofing team covering Welsh slate repair and replacement, lead valley and parapet flashing, flat roof assessment and replacement, guttering, chimney repair and repointing, and all associated roof fabric. In Belgravia, the roofing work of listed buildings requires a specific assessment of the listing conditions. Roof coverings, chimney stacks, and parapet details are listed elements of many Belgravia buildings and require consent before alteration.
Our roofing team assesses the listing conditions for all external elements at the site visit stage and confirms the consent position before any roof work is specified. Where consent is required for roof covering changes, replacing lead with alternative materials, for example, or altering the chimney stack profile, we manage the application. Where the existing roof covering is specified in the listing conditions, Welsh slate on a Grade II listed Belgravia townhouse, we replace like for like without requiring a consent application.
Structural assessment, engineer coordination, opening formation, party wall matters, and Building Regulations management are all handled by our in-house structural team. In Belgravia, listed buildings, every structural intervention requires both Building Regulations approval and Listed Building Consent. Our structural team carries out the work to the engineer’s specification with Building Regulations sign-off obtained before any structural work is enclosed and within the consent conditions agreed with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s conservation team.
Assessment of the consent requirements for every element of the renovation programme, external roof works, structural interventions, works affecting original features, and any other element that triggers the listed building consent requirement. Application preparation, submission to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, pre-application consultation for Grade I properties, conservation team liaison during determination, and consent condition management during the programme.
Listed Building Consent management is included within the fixed price of every house renovation Belgravia project where consent is required, and is not charged as an additional service after the quotation has been accepted.
All plumbing by our Gas Safe registered engineers, new heating system specification and installation, bathroom plumbing on all floors, kitchen plumbing, and gas appliance connections. In Belgravia, listed buildings’ plumbing installation requires specific routing techniques, lime plaster walls cannot be chased with angle grinders, flagstone floors must be cut with diamond equipment, and service runs must be coordinated with the structural and plastering programme to avoid damage to original fabric during installation.
Full rewire, new consumer unit, new circuit installation, bathroom and kitchen electrical work, lighting design, and EV charger installation where required, all by our NICEIC-approved electricians. Part P notification completed. NICEIC installation certificate issued at handover. In Belgravia listed buildings, electrical installation must be routed with minimal impact on original fabric, oscillating tool chase cutting rather than angle grinding in lime plaster, surface conduit where original plaster must be preserved.
Lime plaster repair and reinstatement throughout the specific capability that defines listed building renovation, and that most renovation companies do not have in-house. Lime plaster on lath, the standard wall construction of Belgravia’s Georgian townhouses, must be repaired with lime.
Gypsum applied over lime causes the lime beneath to fail. The 1980s gypsum repairs on three floors of the Belgrave Square townhouse were the direct result of a previous contractor’s failure to understand this basic principle of period building conservation.
Our lime plaster team carries out the complete lime repair process, scratch coat, float coat, and finish coat in hydraulic lime appropriate for the substrate, on every floor of every Belgravia house renovation. No gypsum. No plasterboard over original plaster. No shortcuts that produce visible failures within five years.
Assessment, conservation, and restoration of original listed features throughout the property, including cornicing, ceiling roses, original shutters, original fireplaces, kitchen ranges, flagstone floors, wide-board timber floors, original joinery, and all other surviving original fabric. Our original feature restoration service assesses every element of the existing building fabric at the site visit stage, advising on what is worth restoring versus what is beyond restoration, and carries out the restoration work as an integrated element of the house renovation programme rather than as a preliminary contract.
Bathroom renovation on every floor, all trades in-house, listing condition assessment, lime plaster repair, Gas Safe plumbing, NICEIC electrics, waterproofing appropriate for listed building substrates, tiling, and sanitaryware in specifications appropriate for Belgravia period properties. The Belgrave Square renovation covered three bathrooms across three floors, all renovated sequentially within weeks ten to fourteen of the eighteen-week programme.
Kitchen renovation including listed building consent management, structural opening formation where required, original feature retention and restoration, Gas Safe plumbing, NICEIC electrics, lime plaster repair, and kitchen installation all in-house. The Belgrave Square kitchen retained the original Victorian kitchen range and flagstone floor, both listed features and incorporated them as the defining elements of the new kitchen design.
Complete flooring supply and fit on every floor, engineered wood or herringbone in principal rooms, wool carpet in bedrooms, natural seagrass on staircases and landings, LVT in kitchen and utility areas. All flooring is installed as the final stage of each floor’s renovation programme, not as a separate post-renovation contract, eliminating the gap between renovation completion and flooring installation that, in a multi-company programme, adds weeks to the overall timeline.
Complete decoration throughout all surfaces prepared, all woodwork repaired and painted, all walls decorated in the colours agreed with the homeowner during the renovation programme. Decoration by our in-house team is integrated into the programme, beginning on lower floors as upper floor work continues rather than beginning when the building work is complete.
House Renovation Costs Belgravia
A house refurbishment in Belgravia, updating services, refreshing decoration and finishes, improving specific rooms without full renovation of all elements: typically £35,000 to £60,000 for a standard Belgravia Georgian townhouse. Listed building consent management, lime plaster repair, and Gas Safe and NICEIC certification are all included within the fixed price.
A complete house renovation in Belgravia, roof assessment and repair, full rewire, new heating, lime plaster repair, bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, flooring, and decoration across all floors: typically £60,000 to £120,000 for a standard three to four-floor Belgravia property. A five-floor Georgian townhouse with the full scope of the Belgrave Square renovation, including Listed Building Consent management, structural work, original feature restoration, and three bathroom renovations, typically costs between £120,000 and £250,000, depending on the specification and the extent of original feature restoration required.
Grade I listed house renovation in Belgravia a complete renovation programme for a Grade I listed property with pre-application consultation, Listed Building Consent management, structural work within consent conditions, full services replacement, lime plaster repair throughout, original feature restoration, and kitchen and bathroom renovation: typically £150,000 to £400,000 and above depending on the floor area of the property, the extent of the listed conditions, and the specification of kitchen, bathroom, and finishing throughout.
The highest cost in a Belgravia house renovation managed across separate companies is not in any quotation. It is the accommodation cost of the additional time that programme gaps add to the renovation programme.
At Belgravia, rented accommodation costs of £12,000 to £20,000 per month for a property of equivalent size, every month of the programme gap costs between £12,000 and £20,000. The Belgrave Square family’s worst programme quote three years at £16,000 per month, would have produced accommodation costs of £576,000 over the eighteen-month programme gap between our eighteen-week programme and their three-year alternative.
This cost does not appear on any quotation because no company that produces multi-subcontractor programmes can guarantee the programme length and therefore cannot include the accommodation cost in a fixed price. We can. Because we eliminate the gaps. The accommodation cost is in our fixed price as zero, because eighteen weeks is eighteen weeks and there are no gaps to extend it.
The seven factors that most significantly affect house renovation cost in Belgravia are the floor area and number of floors a five-floor Georgian townhouse costs more than a three-floor property of equivalent floor area because the programme is longer; the listing grade and consent requirements; the extent of original feature restoration required; the condition of the existing services roof, electrics, heating; the bathroom and kitchen specification; the flooring specification across all floors; and the decoration specification. Our free site visit establishes all seven variables before any fixed price is quoted.
House Renovation in Belgravia Properties
The five-floor Georgian townhouse is the defining property type of Belgravia’s principal streets and squares and the most complex residential renovation programme in our service area. Five floors of dependent renovation stages, each requiring completion before the stage above can begin, each containing original features that require listing condition assessment and, in some cases, consent before alteration, and each representing a distinct programme stage with its own trade sequence and timeline.
The Belgrave Square renovation covered all five floors in eighteen weeks, an average of 3.6 weeks per floor, including all trades and all original feature restoration. This pace is achievable only because all trades are in-house, all programme dependencies are managed by one project manager, and there are no gaps between stage transitions.
Listed Building Consent management within a house renovation programme requires specific planning because the consent determination period is a fixed constraint that cannot be accelerated, and because the programme stages that depend on consent cannot begin until consent is received. The approach that most Belgravia renovation programmes fail to take is to continue non-consent-dependent stages during the determination period, reducing the effective programme impact of the consent wait from the full determination period to the gap between consent receipt and the next consent-dependent stage.
The Belgrave Square programme submitted the Listed Building Consent application in week three, immediately after the non-consent-dependent roof repair stage. The rewiring and heating replacement continued during the determination period. Consent was received at week eight.
Structural work began immediately at week eight, with only the electrical and heating time already used, rather than the full eight weeks.
The original features of a Belgravia Georgian townhouse are more consistent and more extensively surviving than those of any other property type in our service area, because Belgravia’s development by Thomas Cubitt produced buildings of sufficient quality that their original fabric has survived significantly better than the Victorian terrace stock of Chelsea and South Kensington.
Expected original features in an unmodernised or partially modernised Belgravia Georgian townhouse include original cornicing on all principal floors, ceiling roses in principal rooms, original shutters on all windows facing the street and garden, original fireplaces on every principal floor with marble or stone surrounds and original grates, original kitchen range in the lower ground floor kitchen, original flagstone or encaustic tile floor in the lower ground floor, original lime plaster on lath throughout, and original wide-board timber floors on upper floors beneath later coverings in many properties.
All of these features are potentially listed. All of them require assessment before the renovation programme begins. And all of them, when correctly assessed, retained, and restored, produce a renovation result that no amount of new specification can replicate.
The majority of Belgravia’s listed residential stock is Grade II buildings of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them. A smaller number of buildings, principally the finest properties on the principal garden squares and a small number of outstanding individual buildings, are Grade I listed, representing exceptional interest.
The practical difference for a house renovation programme in Belgravia is primarily the consent process. Grade II listed house renovation requires Listed Building Consent for works affecting original features, a process that typically takes six to eight weeks from application to determination. Grade I listed house renovation requires pre-application consultation before any formal application, adding four to eight weeks to the pre-start programme and ongoing conservation team liaison during the renovation. Both are manageable within a planned programme. Neither is a reason not to renovate. Both are reasons to use a renovation company that manages the consent process as standard.

Listed Building Consent management is included in the fixed price. Pre-application consultation for Grade I properties is standard. RBKC conservation team liaison throughout the programme is our responsibility, not the homeowner’s.

Our lime plaster team carries out lime repair in-house, correctly specified, correctly applied, guaranteed for twelve months on every Belgravia house renovation.
We assess every Belgravia property for original features before any strip out begins, reviewing the listing description, inspecting every surface, and confirming what is present and what requires consent before the programme starts.

The price on our house renovation Belgravia quotation is the price on our invoice. The programme length for our house renovation in Belgravia is the programme length we deliver. Both are fixed.

How much does house renovation cost in Belgravia?
House renovation in Belgravia costs from £35,000 for a house refurbishment to £400,000 and above for a complete Grade I listed Georgian townhouse renovation with full original feature restoration. A complete house renovation, roof, rewire, heating, lime plaster, bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, and decoration typically costs £60,000 to £120,000 for a three to four-floor Belgravia property and £120,000 to £250,000 for a five-floor Georgian townhouse. Free site visit and fixed-price quotation within 72 hours. Call 020 7129 7418.
How long does house renovation take in Belgravia?
A complete five-floor Georgian townhouse renovation in Belgravia takes eighteen to twenty-six weeks when all trades are in-house, and the programme is managed without gaps between stages. Multi-company programmes managing the same scope typically take eighteen months to three years, because programme gaps between separate companies compound across every stage transition. The Belgrave Square renovation took eighteen weeks. The best alternative programme quoted was seventy-eight weeks. Call 020 7129 7418.
Do I need Listed Building Consent for house renovation in Belgravia?
In most cases, yes, for at least some elements of a Belgravia house renovation. Works affecting original features, structural interventions, changes to external elements, including roof coverings and extraction vents, all typically require Listed Building Consent in Belgravia’s listed buildings. We assess the consent position for every element of the renovation at the site visit stage and manage all applications. Consent management is included in the fixed price. Call 020 7129 7418.
Can you carry out a whole-house renovation in a Belgravia listed building?
Yes. We carry out whole-house renovations in Grade I and Grade II listed buildings in Belgravia regularly. Listed Building Consent management, pre-application consultation for Grade I properties, structural work within consent conditions, lime plaster repair throughout, original feature restoration, and all services replacement, all in-house, all within the programme, all within the fixed price. Call 020 7129 7418.
What is the programme gap cost in a Belgravia house renovation?
The programme gap cost is the accommodation cost of the additional time that programme gaps add when a renovation is managed across separate companies. At Belgravia, rented accommodation costs £12,000 to £20,000 per month; every additional month beyond our programme length costs the family between £12,000 and £20,000. The Belgrave Square family’s worst programme quote added sixty weeks to our programme at £16,000 per month, that is £960,000 in additional accommodation costs. We eliminate programme gaps. Our programme length is fixed. Call 020 7129 7418.
Do you carry out lime plaster repair in-house in Belgravia?
Yes. Lime plaster repair is carried out by our in-house plastering team on every Belgravia house renovation, correctly specified in hydraulic lime appropriate for the substrate and applied in the correct number of coats with adequate drying time between coats. We do not use gypsum over lime. We do not plasterboard over original plaster. Lime plaster repair by our in-house team is included in the fixed price of every Belgravia house renovation. Call 020 7129 7418.
Do you carry out all trades in-house for house renovation in Belgravia?
Yes. Roofing, structural, Gas Safe plumbing, NICEIC electrics, lime plaster, original feature restoration, bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, flooring, and decoration all by our directly employed team. No subcontractors. One project manager. One fixed price. No programme gaps between stages. Call 020 7129 7418.
How do I choose a house renovation company in Belgravia?
The four questions that matter most for a Belgravia house renovation are: do they carry out all trades in-house or do they subcontract; do they offer a fixed price or a range; do they read the listing conditions before making recommendations; and do they explain the programme gap cost of their renovation model. A company that subcontracts, quotes a range, does not read the listing, and does not mention programme gaps is not the company for a Belgravia-listed building renovation. Call 020 7129 7418.
What original features should I expect in a Belgravia Georgian townhouse?
Cornicing on all principal floors, ceiling roses in principal rooms, original shutters on street and garden elevations, original fireplaces with marble or stone surrounds on every principal floor, original kitchen range in the lower ground floor kitchen, original flagstone or encaustic tile floor in the lower ground floor, lime plaster on lath throughout, and original wide-board timber floors on upper floors beneath later coverings in many properties. All of these are potentially listed. All require assessment before renovation. Call 020 7129 7418.
Is house renovation worth it in Belgravia?
Yes. Correctly executed house renovation in Belgravia, particularly in a Georgian townhouse where all original features are retained and restored, adds value that significantly exceeds the renovation cost. A five-floor Belgrave Square Georgian townhouse in fully renovated condition with all original features restored commands a premium of £500,000 to £2,000,000 above the unrenovated value, depending on the property size and specification. The renovation cost of £120,000 to £250,000 produces a net return that no other investment in the property market can match. Call 020 7129 7418.
What certifications do you provide at handover in Belgravia?
NICEIC electrical installation certificate. Gas Safe completion notice for all gas work. Building Regulations completion certificate where structural work was carried out. Listed Building Consent documentation confirming the renovation was completed within the consent conditions. All manufacturer warranties for appliances, sanitaryware, and materials. 12-month workmanship guarantee. All documentation required for building insurance, lease compliance, and resale is provided on handover day. Call 020 7129 7418.
Do you manage Listed Building Consent for house renovation in Belgravia?
Yes. Listed Building Consent management is included in the fixed price of every Belgravia house renovation where consent is required, assessment, application preparation, submission, RBKC conservation team liaison, and consent condition management during the programme. Pre-application consultation for Grade I properties is standard. We manage the complete consent process. The homeowner does not need to engage separately with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s conservation team. Call 020 7129 7418.
