We focus on improving the layout, functionality and long-term value of each property while respecting the architectural character that makes Chelsea one of London’s most desirable places to live.
We swiftly respond to your building requirements upon your contact, gathering essential information such as your project vision, timelines, and specific needs. This initial step is crucial as it helps tailor our approach to address your unique building needs from the outset.
We offer a detailed consultation, either in person or by phone, to discuss design, budget and challenges. Our experts then carry out a paid site visit and provide a transparent, detailed estimate, ensuring clear communication and a strong partnership from the outset.
Once the contract is signed, we promptly begin the project, arriving fully prepared to bring your vision to life. With an online monitoring portal and biweekly meetings, we keep you updated, address any concerns, and ensure everything stays on track.
Upon project completion, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets your standards, followed by providing comprehensive aftercare instructions and support for any post-completion needs. Our commitment extends beyond the build, ensuring that you are delighted and well-supported even after the project is finished.
We haven’t completed a project in Chelsea yet, but the same team delivers this standard of work across South East and Central London.

Often, yes. Chelsea sits within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where conservation area status and, in some cases, listed building status apply to many properties. This means permitted development rights are often more restricted than in other parts of London, and even smaller alterations can require a full planning application. We check this for you as part of the paid site visit, so you know exactly what your project needs before any design work begins.
It depends on the scope and structure involved. A single-storey rear or side return extension typically takes several months on site once planning is in place, while a full renovation or multi-phase project can take considerably longer. We give you a clear programme with realistic timelines before the contract is signed, so you know what to expect from the outset.
Costs vary significantly depending on the structure, specification, and scale of the work involved — a straightforward internal refurbishment and a full extension with structural alterations aren't comparable. Rather than a generic figure that won't reflect your actual property, we provide a proper, detailed estimate at the paid site visit, once we've seen the space and understood what you're trying to achieve.
If your project involves work on or near a shared wall with a neighbour — common in Chelsea's terraced houses and converted flats — you'll likely need a Party Wall agreement under the Party Wall Act 1996. We flag this at the site visit stage and can advise on the process. It's a manageable step, not a barrier to the project.
In many cases, yes, particularly for extensions and phased renovations where parts of the property remain unaffected. For more extensive projects, or where access and disruption make it impractical, we'll discuss this with you honestly during the site visit so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. We manage the entire project under one contract, from initial design and planning through to structural work, construction, and final finishes. You deal with one team throughout, rather than coordinating separate architects, planners and contractors yourself.
We work across South East and Central London, and haven't yet completed a project in Chelsea specifically. The same team, process and standard of work applies wherever we build — you can see examples of our completed projects in Blackheath and Greenwich in our portfolio.
