Focused On Kensington’s Buildings
Kensington’s common parts are among the most demanding in London, from grand stucco terraces and red-brick mansion blocks to prestige new-builds. We shape every specification around the building in front of us.
Stucco terrace conversions (Earls Court, Courtfield, Kensington Square)
- The challenge
- Pillared porticos, mosaic-tiled paths, marble steps and tall, narrow stairwells.
- How we handle it
- Gentle, surface-appropriate methods that protect original tiles, stone and joinery.
Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks (Kensington Court, Hornton Street)
- The challenge
- Marble halls, brass fittings, period lifts and shared bin stores.
- How we handle it
- Regular schedules that keep halls and lifts polished, with bin store management alongside.
Prestige new-builds (Holland Green, Warwick Road)
- The challenge
- Concierge lobbies with glass, polished stone and designer finishes that residents expect to be flawless.
- How we handle it
- Presentation-standard finishes and specialist stone floor care.
Mixed-use and commercial (Kensington High Street, Kensington Church Street)
- The challenge
- Flats above shops, galleries and offices sharing one entrance.
- How we handle it
- Out-of-hours visits that fit around trading times.

“Our mansion block has marble halls and a lift that shows every fingerprint. The same team comes every week, and the entrance finally looks the way leaseholders expect.”
Harriet M. · Abingdon Road
“Our hallway has its original Victorian tiles, and they were careful with them from day one. The written specification also made the service charge easy to justify at our AGM.”

Questions managing agents ask
If yours isn’t here, we’ll answer it at the survey.
How often should communal areas in Kensington be cleaned?
It depends on the building. A small stucco conversion with a handful of flats may only need a weekly visit, while a busy mansion block with a lift and marble entrance hall often benefits from two or three visits a week. We recommend a frequency at the survey based on footfall, surfaces and resident expectations, and you can change it as your needs change.
Do you clean marble and stone entrance halls?
Yes. Marble, limestone and terrazzo are common in Kensington’s entrance halls, and each needs the right products to avoid etching and dulling. We identify the surfaces at the survey and set out the routine care in your specification, with periodic deep cleaning available when floors need more than routine care.
Can your team work alongside our porter or concierge?
Yes. Many Kensington mansion blocks and new-build developments have a porter or concierge on site. We agree with them who covers what, plan visits around deliveries and resident traffic, and keep them informed, so the building runs smoothly and nothing falls between two teams.
Will the same cleaners come to our building each time?
Wherever possible, yes. We assign a regular team to each building so they learn its layout, surfaces and residents. If a team member is away, a trained replacement works to the same written specification, so the standard doesn’t drop.
Do you clean front steps, porticos and entrance paths?
Yes. In Kensington, the front steps, pillared porch and tiled path are the first things residents and visitors see. We can include sweeping, washing and spot cleaning of these areas in your specification, alongside door furniture and entrance glass.
How will we know each visit has been completed?
Every visit follows your written specification, so it’s always clear what should have been done. We record each visit and will flag any issues we spot, such as damage, leaks or fly-tipping, so you can act on them quickly. You also get a named contact for any questions about the service.
