Marble walls, walk-in showers, brushed gold and nickel fixtures, and complete suites built to a hotel standard at residential scale. For Kensington’s stucco-fronted terraces, garden-square houses and Edwardian mansion blocks across W8 and SW7.
Kensington’s housing stock has more room to play with than most parts of London. Tall stucco-fronted terraces around Edwardes Square and Holland Park, generous mansion-block flats along Cornwall Gardens and Queen’s Gate, and garden-square houses with bathrooms that can run to the size of a normal-sized bedroom. The brief almost always benefits from that scale — freestanding baths read in proportion, walk-in showers can be properly walk-in, and twin vanities work without compromise.
The technical brief is the same as anywhere in central London: tanking to BS 8102, acoustic underlay specified to managing-agent rules, listed-building consent where original fabric is touched, and freeholder approvals coordinated cleanly. The difference in Kensington is that the available room and the calibre of the original architecture both raise expectations on what the finished bathroom should look like.
We deliver both. The visible work is finished to hotel standard at residential scale; the underlying construction is built to last the life of the property.
Every luxury bathroom we deliver in Kensington is end-to-end. One team handles design, demolition, first-fix, tanking, tiling, joinery, second-fix and snagging. There is no hand-off between sub-contractors with different priorities.
Survey, layout options and tile-set elevations designed for the scale of a Kensington suite. We make sure the brief works inside the room before anyone strips it out.
Calacatta, Carrara, Statuario, travertine, terrazzo and porcelain large-format. Templated, slab-matched and book-matched at joints where the design calls for it.
Full BS 8102 tanking to all wet zones before tiling begins. Underlay and acoustic layers specified to managing-agent and freeholder requirements.
Perrin & Rowe, Lefroy Brooks, Drummonds, Vola, Dornbracht and CEA. Brushed gold, polished nickel, antique brass and chrome — specified to suit the room.
Hand-built vanities, panelled walls and storage joinery in solid timber or moisture-resistant carcass. Built by the same carpenters who build our kitchens.
Electric or wet underfloor heating, zoned and thermostat-controlled. Layered lighting on dimmer circuits, with concealed strip lighting where the design supports it.
The bathrooms that fail in Kensington fail in predictable ways. Inadequate tanking that allows a leak into the flat below. Listed-building consent breached on original cornicing or panelling. Acoustic standards missed because nobody asked the managing agent. Stone laid without proper substrate prep so it cracks in the first heating season.
None of these are inevitable. Each is a function of cutting the wrong corner, by a contractor who does not understand the building. We have refurbished bathrooms across W8 and SW7 long enough to know which corners can be cut and which cannot — and we never cut the latter.

I’ve hired Igor to do the flooring in my kitchen and I can assure this has been one of the best decisions I made. My kitchen now looks immaculate and I couldn’t be happier with ProCraft’s services. Fast, reliable and delivers quality to your needs. Very well recommended.
We needed help with repairs after a water leak. Igor came back to me quickly with a quote and completed the job that weekend. Would highly recommend.
Many of our Kensington bathroom clients commission us for the kitchen, the joinery, or the full programme at the same time. Each can be delivered alone or together.
