Kensington properties are often owned from somewhere else. The stucco terraces of the Phillimore Estate, the lateral flats on Kensington Court and the mansion blocks along Kensington High Street are frequently refurbished for an owner who will see the finished result for the first time on a fixed date, with a project manager, a housekeeper or an agent standing in for them until then. Our after builders cleaning service in Kensington is set up for that: fixed dates, a named contact, sign-off on a sheet, and nothing left for the owner to find.
As part of our after builders cleaning London service we cover the whole of W8 and SW7 from our base at Imperial Wharf, and we have written separately about why the communal landing matters as much as the flat in a Kensington mansion block renovation.
The finishes in W8 are the most demanding we work with: imported marble, antique parquet, silk wall coverings, gilded mirrors and bespoke joinery that was finished on site and is still curing when the clean happens. Our team uses HEPA extraction before anything is wet-wiped, conservation-grade products matched to each surface, and no acid, bleach or abrasive anywhere near stone or lacquer. On basement projects, which RBKC keeps to a single storey, we treat every floor as silica-contaminated and extract from the top of the house down to the new lightwell.
Kensington's prestigious streets house some of London's most valuable residential properties. From the white stucco terraces of Kensington Palace Gardens to the red-brick mansion blocks around Kensington High Street, renovations here involve high-specification materials and exacting standards that demand specialist post-construction cleaning expertise.
Whether you're refurbishing a stucco terrace near Kensington Gardens, renovating a mansion block apartment off Kensington High Street, or completing a basement extension in W8, our team delivers the meticulous interior cleaning that Kensington's premium property market expects.
From Kensington Palace Gardens to Holland Park, businesses and homeowners trust us for meticulous, detail-driven after-builders cleaning. Our CSCS-certified team delivers to a fixed date with room-by-room sign-off, so the owner arrives to a finished house rather than a list of things to check.
Book Your CleaningA Kensington clean is usually delivered to someone who is not the owner, on a date the owner has set. We take the brief from the project manager or housekeeper, agree access and hours with the porter, and work the property top down with dry extraction first and the glazing last.
Send us the floor plan, the finishes and the date the owner arrives. We quote a fixed price, send insurance and method statements to whoever manages the building, and sign each room off on a sheet.

Read ArticleThat is how most Kensington jobs run. We take the brief and the keys from whoever is managing the property, agree hours with the porter, sign each room off on a sheet and send photos when we finish, so the owner arrives to a finished house rather than a list of things to check.
We protect the lobby and stair route before we start, keep equipment off the landing, and clean the landing, lift car and entrance before we leave so the building looks as it did before the works. Most managing agents in W8 make that a condition of the licence, and the porter will check it.
Yes. Marble, limestone and onyx get pH-neutral products only; antique parquet is cleaned dry and then with a matched wood product; silk and fabric wall coverings are vacuumed with soft brushes and never wiped; gilded and lacquered surfaces get microfibre and nothing abrasive. Unusual finishes are tested in a corner first and agreed with the designer.
A stucco townhouse after a full refurbishment is typically £1,500 to £2,500 or more, including the return visit. A lateral flat after a kitchen and bathroom refit is usually £650 to £1,100. The finishes and the access put W8 above the London average. All quotes are fixed and we would rather see the larger properties before pricing them.
Regularly. RBKC keeps basements to a single storey, but digging under a Kensington house still sends concrete and silica dust through every floor. We extract from the attic down to the new lightwell, clean the plant room and services voids, and treat the whole house as contaminated rather than just the new rooms.
Public liability and employer's liability cover suitable for high-value residential work, with certificates sent to the managing agent or project manager before the first visit. Every operative is DBS-checked and holds a CSCS card. If the property's insurer needs specific wording, we will provide it.
All of W8 and SW7, from Kensington High Street and the Phillimore Estate to Kensington Court, De Vere Gardens, South Kensington and the museums quarter, plus Earl's Court, Holland Park and Notting Hill on either side. Our base is ten minutes away at Imperial Wharf.
