Do you really work without a van in Kensington?
Yes — that's the whole idea. I travel to Kensington by tube (High Street Kensington, South Kensington & Gloucester Road (District, Circle, Piccadilly)) with a compact, cabin-luggage tool kit, so there's no van on your street, no parking permit or suspension to arrange, and no congestion or ULEZ charge on your quote. Paint and any bulkier materials are delivered to the job or picked up locally.
Can you paint period doors, spindles and sash frames in Kensington?
Absolutely — it's most of what I do here. Grand entrance-hall joinery and deep Victorian skirting are the norm here, and they show every shortcut — so I don't take any. I sand back carefully, seal any knots, fill and caulk, and hand-finish in satinwood or gloss (heritage systems such as Little Greene, Farrow & Ball or Mylands on request) for a hard, even sheen with no brush-marks.
How disruptive is it, and how quickly can you start in Kensington?
Very low disruption — one person, dust sheets down, tidy as I go, and most trim jobs wrapped in a half or full day. I can usually start within a week or two in Kensington, sometimes sooner for a single room or a landlord turnaround between tenancies.
