Homes and roofs in West Kensington
West Kensington's streets are lined with late-Victorian brick terraces of two and three storeys, with back additions behind most houses and mansion blocks near the main roads. Roofs are slate with valleys between neighbouring houses, and many now carry rear dormers from loft conversions.

Weather and exposure
West Kensington's late-Victorian terraces stand shoulder to shoulder, so a blocked valley or failed flashing on one house often sends water towards its neighbour. Leaves from the street trees and garden backs block gutters each autumn.

We cover West Kensington across W14, from North End Road and Barons Court to the streets around Gliddon Road, Edith Road and the Earls Court boundary.
Access and planning
Terraced streets mean scaffold on the front or rear, often over a neighbour's garden. We plan access with you and your neighbours before the start date.
