Property Renovations In Kensington
Period homes in Kensington often need more than a new kitchen. Lemon Tree Construction carries out full and partial renovations, from one room to an entire house, and we refurbish commercial premises too. Our family-run team travels in from Frimley.
How to plan a house renovation in Kensington? Start with a survey. Older London houses commonly have damp, outdated wiring or tired plumbing, and finding them first lets us price them into your quote. Next, agree the layout and specification, then set a programme that sequences the trades sensibly and keeps neighbours informed where shared walls are affected.
Renovating can also be better value than moving. Stamp duty, legal fees and survey costs add up quickly, and that money could fund a substantial improvement to the house you already own. We will help you compare the two honestly, with an itemised quote for the renovation side of the sum.
While the house is open, it makes sense to improve its energy performance. Loft insulation, double glazing and a more efficient heating system can be added in the same project, cutting running costs for your Kensington home.

Refurbishments and Retrofitting in Kensington

Improving the energy performance of a Kensington property needs a sensitive approach, especially in conservation areas or listed buildings. Loft and roof insulation, efficient heating and upgraded glazing are the main options. Where window replacement may need consent, secondary glazing can sometimes provide a practical alternative; speak to the Royal Borough before deciding. We specify insulation and ventilation that suit older construction to reduce condensation risk. Retrofit work can be carried out alongside a wider renovation so floors and ceilings are only opened once.
Partial Renovations in Kensington

Our partial renovation services are designed to focus on specific areas of your property, allowing you to update and enhance key spaces without undertaking a full renovation. Whether you want to modernise a kitchen, refresh a bathroom, or upgrade an office space, we tailor our approach to meet your needs while seamlessly integrating the changes into your existing design.
​
With a partial renovation, you can make impactful improvements to your home or commercial property without the disruption of a full-scale project. We work closely with you to understand your vision and develop a customised plan that suits both your budget and timeline. Our team handles all aspects of the renovation, from initial design consultation and material selection to construction and finishing details, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship throughout the process.
​
By focusing on the spaces that matter most to you, our partial renovation services allow you to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of your property, improving comfort and adding value. Whether you need a single room updated or a few targeted improvements, we deliver results that breathe new life into your space, ensuring it aligns with your vision while maintaining the integrity of your property as a whole.
