Builders inChelsea.
Walk the residential streets south of the King's Road and you are quickly inside one of the Royal Borough's most tightly controlled conservation zones — SW3 and SW10 together cover a broad sweep of Kensington and Chelsea where planning officers scrutinise almost every external change. The buildings are mostly Georgian and Victorian terraces with period features that contractors either respect or damage: original cornices, board floors that sit at different levels room to room, chimney breasts that do real structural work, and ceiling heights that rule out standard cabinet runs. PrimeCraft Surface Solutions carries out full house renovations, basement works, loft conversions, kitchen refits and bathroom refits across Chelsea. Itemised quotes are issued the same day we visit your property.

What we build in Chelsea
Renovating behind a Chelsea facade
Serious work in SW3 and SW10 happens inside a framework: conservation-area control on the outside, listed-building consent on much of the stock, and estate freeholders whose licence to alter governs what a leaseholder may touch. We build inside that framework as a matter of routine — consent drawings and method statements prepared before programme dates are promised, party-wall matters handled formally, and site conduct that keeps the neighbours, the managing agent and the conservation officer equally comfortable.
Kitchens and bathrooms to a Chelsea standard
The brief here is rarely square footage — it is precision. Bespoke joinery scribed to walls that have settled for a century and a half, stone book-matched and templated on site, wetrooms tanked and detailed to hotel standard, brassware and finishes fitted by trades who handle them as carefully as the client chose them. Lower-ground kitchens are a Chelsea speciality of ours: light brought in through the rear, services re-routed cleanly, and the garden level made the heart of the house.
Restoring original features
From artisan cottages off the King's Road to the stucco villas of The Boltons, the fabric is the value: cornices run to match the original profile, shutters unpainted and put back into working order, staircases repaired, board floors mended and refinished. Our restoration trades work restore-first, in lime and timber, and the modern services disappear behind the period room.
Working in occupied houses and managed blocks
Chelsea projects run inside people's lives — families in residence, porters and managing agents with rules, neighbours a party wall away. We protect finishes and common parts properly, keep to permitted hours, sequence noisy works into agreed windows, and communicate through one project manager so the client hears one voice from strip-out to handover.

FAQ
Commonquestions, Chelsea.
- Whole-house programmes on SW3 townhouses — commonly four or five floors across 200–350 m² — usually land between £450,000 and well over £900,000 once basement works, premium materials and period restoration are built in. Properties in the SW10 stretch toward World's End sit at the lower end of that band. Conservation obligations push both material and trade costs above comparable schemes elsewhere in London, and listed status adds design and consent time before a single tool is lifted. Every option is costed line by line and returned to you the same day as the site survey.
