Period property surveying in Notting Hill W11
We survey listed, locally listed and conservation-area property across W11; reports balance significance, condition and the realistic cost of repairing traditional fabric around Portobello Road, Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Grove, Holland Park.
Local condition records include damp penetration in Victorian stucco-fronted terraces, cracking in communal garden wall structures, deterioration of original decorative stucco and railings on listed properties; in traditional buildings, distinguishing active decay from historic movement is the heart of heritage surveying, and it determines whether intervention or monitoring is the right response.
