Basements in Kensington.
A basement adds space without touching the garden or the roofline. The work is technical — temporary support, excavation, structure and waterproofing must be planned with your engineer before anything is dug.
What's involved.
Survey & design coordination
Site investigation and structural design agreed with your engineer before work starts.
Excavation & support
Excavation in planned stages, with temporary works keeping the house and neighbours safe.
Waterproofing
A waterproofing system specified for the ground conditions, with drainage where needed.
Fit-out
Lighting, heating, ventilation and finishes so the basement feels like the rest of the house.
Basements on Kensington homes.
Kensington is known for stucco-fronted townhouses, mews houses and mansion flats where detailing matters.
Much of the borough is in conservation areas, so the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's planning rules shape most external works.
