Common facade issues in Ladbroke Grove include damp in Victorian stucco terrace basements, cracking in communal garden boundary walls, deterioration of original decorative stucco on listed terrace properties and the effects of Victorian terraces with communal gardens on the external envelope.

Common Building Issues in Ladbroke Grove

A facade investigation on Ladbroke Grove's flatted stock establishes the external wall build-up that an EWS1 or a FRAEW then relies on; for the blocks of flats among its Victorian stucco terraces, mansion flats, communal garden squares and converted flats we open up in proportion to what the records cannot already tell us.

Planning and Conservation in Ladbroke Grove

Ladbroke Conservation Area; RBKC applies strict controls; the communal gardens are designated as Metropolitan Open Land and protected heritage landscapes. We raise this at investigation stage on Ladbroke Grove instructions, because a facade repair scoped without the consent position risks a redesign once the design controls are applied.
