House Refurbishment in Mayfair.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Mayfair it usually means stripping back to the structure, rewiring and replumbing, replanning the ground floor around a new kitchen, fitting new bathrooms and then bringing back the detail that gives the house its character: cornices, joinery, fireplaces and sash windows.
We run the whole job. Our architects draw the new layout, our engineers design any structural openings, and our own site team builds it, so there is one programme, one quotation and one person to call. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed and supplied by us rather than by a subcontractor.
Every refurbishment starts with a site visit and a measured survey. From that we produce drawings, an itemised specification and a programme, so you know exactly what is being done before anyone lifts a tool.

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.

House Refurbishment in Mayfair: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Mayfair?
A whole house with structural changes, a new kitchen and two or three bathrooms usually takes four to six months on site. We give a written programme with the quotation and report progress weekly.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
For a partial refurbishment, usually yes: we keep a bathroom and a basic kitchen working and seal off the rooms we are in. For a full strip-out it is faster, cleaner and cheaper to move out for the duration.
