Good to know in Chelsea & Kensington

• Mansion blocks and managed buildings often have rules on access, working hours or approvals through the managing agent. Check these first so the job can be planned around them.
• Some buildings here are listed or sit in conservation areas, where consent can be needed for certain exterior or structural changes. Routine internal repairs and decorating are different, but check if you are unsure.
• Period features such as original joinery, sash windows and plasterwork usually need a lighter touch than a modern fit-out, so mention them when you request a quote.
