Why Ushii in Kensington
Ushii delivers loft conversion work across Kensington (SW7 · W8) with directly employed trades. Not a broker, not a list of numbers passed to whoever is free that week. The carpenters, roofers, electricians and gas engineers on your Kensington site are on our payroll, which is why programmes hold and standards stay consistent from strip out to snagging.
Kensington houses are technically demanding. Grade II listing, listed party walls, basement engineering under a stucco facade and a Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea planning department that expects proper drawings and proper trades. We work here every week. Our teams know the streets, the neighbours' surveyors and the site logistics you need to run a full refurbishment on a Cornwall Gardens crescent without upsetting the entire postcode.
Prime central planning departments expect measured drawings, heritage statements and a considerate constructors approach to hours, deliveries and noise. We prepare all of it before a single tool arrives on site.
A good loft gains a bedroom. A great one gains a floor of the house that feels original. We spend as much time on the stair, the head-height and the eaves storage as we do on the roof itself.

Common questions
Loft conversions in Kensington, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Kensington?
Cost follows scope, access and the condition of the building rather than the postcode. After a survey in Kensington we issue a fixed, itemised price so you can see exactly what each element of the loft conversion carries. There are no provisional sums hidden in the back pages.
Do you work on stucco-fronted family houses in Kensington?
Regularly. Stucco-fronted family houses, Mansion flats and lateral conversions, Garden-square townhouses all feature in our Kensington workload, and each one is surveyed on its own terms before we price anything.
Which areas near Kensington do you cover?
We work across Chelsea, Notting Hill, Holland Park, Knightsbridge, South Kensington and the wider London area, with a directly employed team rather than local trades brought in for the day.
Will we lose the room below the stair?
Not usually. We design the stair position around your existing plan; we will show you the impact before you commit.
How dusty does it get?
Loft works are the dustiest part of construction. We install a fully sealed dust screen at the head of the existing stair, and vacuum-extract every day.
