What we do in Kensington & Chelsea
Premium regular cleans dominate K&C — fortnightly and weekly with the same trusted cleaner each visit, in mansion blocks across Knightsbridge, Kensington and Chelsea. End-of-tenancy spikes around Imperial College in June. Eco-friendly products are standard request.
K&C means mews-house access challenges (no Luton vans on Cheyne Mews), mansion-block lift coordination (Kensington Court, Albert Hall Mansions), and Notting Hill Carnival blackout weekends. We plan all three before quote.
Listed-building friendly handyman work — reversible fixings, period-correct hardware, conservation-area aware. Sash window restoration in Notting Hill terraces, Pax wardrobe builds in K&C compact flats, and TV mounting that doesn't damage Georgian cornicing.

Kensington & Chelsea FAQ
Yes — most of Chelsea (SW3) and South Kensington (SW7) is in a conservation area or has Listed status. We use reversible internal fixings, floor protection on period parquet, and lift rather than drag furniture out of period staircases. For Listed Building Consent issues (façade work, external alterations) we route those through our Part-P / surveyor partners, not ourselves.
Mansion-block moves in W8 and SW7 require porter coordination — most blocks let us book the lift 48 hours ahead, restrict moves to 09:00–16:00 weekdays only (no weekends), and require ground-floor parking permits we arrange via the porter. Our team carries CSCS cards and ID for sign-in.
Same hourly rates — £22/hr cleaning, £55/hr man-and-van, £65 first hour handyman. The total often runs higher in Kensington & Chelsea because of (a) congestion-charge access (£18 added for SW3, SW7, SW10, W8, W14 inside the central zone), (b) parking permits the borough charges at premium rates, and (c) mansion-block coordination time. We quote everything up front, no surprises.
