Working in Chelsea

What we see in Chelsea homes.

Chelsea jobs are smaller in number than our South London bread-and-butter but tend to be higher-spec. Listed Georgian and Victorian houses around the squares, mansion flats along Cheyne Walk and the King's Road, and a steady run of high-end refurbishments where the finished floor needs to read as the most considered surface in the room.

The most common work in SW3 is restoring substantial period parquet, often pitch pine or oak, that's been preserved under carpet for decades. We approach these jobs the way they deserve to be approached: careful block-by-block restoration, finish samples on your actual floor under your actual lighting, and a sand-and-finish sequence that doesn't compromise on grit, dwell time or coat thickness.

Housing stock: Georgian and Victorian terraces around the squares, mansion blocks on Cheyne Walk and the King's Road, modern apartment conversions toward Imperial Wharf.

Coverage: Chelsea is a 40-minute drive from our base. We work the area monthly and prioritise surveys for SW3 within the working week.

FAQ — Chelsea

Common questions.

Do you do high-spec finishes for clients with architects on board?

Frequently. We can supply detailed finish specifications, work to architect schedules, and provide sample boards in advance of the work starting.

What's the best finish for a Chelsea drawing room with substantial period furniture?

Usually a clear hard-wax oil, Bona Craft Oil 2K or Osmo Polyx in extra matt, for a finish that respects the period interior. Lacquer reads as more contemporary; oil reads as more honest to the building.

Do you offer free surveys?

Yes, for almost every postcode we cover. We come out, look at the floor, take measurements and send a detailed quote within 48 hours. No deposit, no obligation.

How dusty is the work?

Our sanders run on sealed Bona and Lägler extraction units that capture around 95% of the dust at source. You won't get the cloud-the-house effect that older sanders leave behind.

Can I stay in the house?

Yes. We work room by room and leave the rest of the house usable. You can sleep in the property the same night a sand is happening, in a different room.
