Why Kensington Homes
Need a Specialist
Kensington's solid-brick character homes have high ceilings, and those ceilings are almost always original lath and plaster — timber laths with plaster pushed through from below to form a key behind them. It's a good system, and it lasts a century, but eventually the key fails. What you see from the floor is a hairline crack, then a bulge, then a section that sounds hollow when tapped. Most trades will quote to pull the lot down and sheet it, because that's a two-day job any apprentice can do. Re-keying and stabilising an original ceiling in place takes skill and takes longer, and it keeps the ceiling that gives the room its character along with the original cornice run around it. That's the version of the job worth paying for.
What Kensington Homes Typically Need
Original lath and plaster ceilings losing their key and beginning to sag
Ceilings quoted for full replacement when they could be stabilised in place
Original cornice runs damaged or lost during past ceiling replacement work
Heritage Butcher Shop Restoration
Full structural restoration: render stripped back to original brick, brick and lintel repair, back wall rebuilt, complete re-render of the facade using a smooth-finish technique to replicate period-correct ageing, and full repaint.
