Kitchens, bathrooms and decorating in Kensal Rise
Kensal Rise is Brent: Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Chamberlayne Road, conversions common, a smaller number of purpose-built flats. The stock is close in type to Queen's Park — bay-fronted terraces, original joinery, modest rear gardens — without being the same neighbourhood or the same conservation audit. Toward Kensal Green the grain mixes with cemetery-edge streets and later housing. Chamberlayne Road is a tight commercial spine. Our work is kitchen and bathroom replacement in terraces, light refurbishment of conversions, and decoration, with Brent licences and Overground-station parking pressure.

Yes. Fully insured.
Neither by default, but it changes what we check. Work built by somebody else is surveyed as found: where the waste actually runs, whether the flat roof has drained properly into the existing gully, how the extension floor meets the original level, and what the last fitter concealed. We record all of that before ordering, so the programme is not rewritten in week two.
Usually, if it is protected from the first delivery rather than the first breakage. Encaustic tiles in these halls are laid on lime and sand and crack under point loads, so we board over them and route heavy items with that in mind. Missing or loose tiles are lifted and reset where matches can be found; where they cannot, we say so rather than substituting something close.
A single-storey back addition that was the scullery, or someone else's rear extension on top of it. College Road, Clifford Gardens, Bathurst Gardens and Wrentham Avenue repeat the same section: bay-fronted front room, middle room, narrow return. Where the return is original we work to one window, one rear stack and shallow joists. Where it has already been extended we survey the junction — floor levels, the flat roof into the existing gully, concealed waste — before ordering. Work outside this main service is covered in our Other services catalogue; the scope and responsible business are confirmed before an instruction.
As a stacked room on shallow joists, not as a wet room dropped onto the old boards. The bathroom is either over that addition or upstairs in the old box room, which puts a kitchen or a bedroom underneath it. Waterproofing is a documented system that expects timber movement; the soil stack on the outside rear wall fixes the WC. There is no side alley, so the bath comes through the front door, over the tiled path and hall, and up a stair that turns — boarding goes in on day one.
