Why Ushii in Kensington
Ushii delivers refurbishment 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 full refurbishment is a choreography problem before it is a construction problem. Structure, services, joinery, stone and glass all arrive on the same site, in the right order, with the right protection. Ushii holds every one of those trades in-house, which is why our refurbishments finish on the day we said they would.

Common questions
Full house refurbishment in Kensington, answered.
How much does a refurbishment 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 refurbishment 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.
Can we stay in the property during works?
Sometimes, for phased works. For anything structural we usually recommend vacating; we will tell you honestly which category yours falls into.
Who manages planning and building control?
We do, alongside your architect if you have one. If you do not, we can introduce practices we work with regularly.
