Flat Refurbishment in Mayfair.
Refurbishing a flat is a different job from refurbishing a house. The design questions are the same, but the approvals, the logistics and the neighbours are not. In Mayfair most flats sit in mansion blocks or converted houses, which means a freeholder or managing agent to satisfy, restricted working hours, lift and stair access to plan, and sound insulation between floors to prove at inspection.
We handle all of it. Before work starts we prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder needs for a licence to alter, agree deliveries and hours with the building, and protect the common parts. On site, our own team does the strip-out, services, joinery, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration, so the flat is closed up and finished in one continuous programme.
Because we supply the Italian and German kitchens and the bathroom furniture ourselves, we can design the whole flat as one scheme and order everything at once, which matters when access is difficult and every delivery has to be booked.

Mayfair: the houses and the planning rules.
Mayfair is Georgian London at its grandest: the Grosvenor Estate's squares and streets, five-storey townhouses on Mount Street and South Audley Street, mews behind, and later mansion blocks and apartment buildings. Most houses are Grade II listed, the whole district is a conservation area, and the Grosvenor Estate exercises its own control over many properties.
We have fitted kitchens on South Audley Street, working with ebony veneers, Corian and Miele appliances in rooms with original cornices and shutters. Projects here are logistically demanding: restricted parking, timed deliveries, concierge buildings and neighbours who expect a quiet, tidy site.
The Mayfair Conservation Area covers the whole district.
Westminster City Council
Planning and listed building consent are decided by Westminster, with Historic England consulted on the most significant houses.
Grosvenor Estate
Where the freehold is held by the Grosvenor Estate, its own consent and design guidance apply in addition to the council's.
Basements
Westminster's basement policy limits depth and extent under gardens and requires a Basement Impact Assessment.

Flat Refurbishment in Mayfair: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Mayfair?
Almost always, through a licence to alter. We prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder or managing agent asks for and build their approval time into the programme so it does not hold up the start.
How long does a flat refurbishment take?
A two-bedroom flat typically takes eight to twelve weeks on site once approvals are in place. Lift access, parking and the block's working hours all affect the programme, so we plan around them from the outset.
Which parts of Mayfair do you cover?
All of Mayfair and W1K · W1J, including South Audley Street, Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, Curzon Street, Hill Street, Park Lane, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
