Your West Kensington builder.
Design and build. One contract.
West Kensington — the W14 streets north of Talgarth Road — combines Victorian terraces with red-brick mansion blocks on the main roads. Same LB Hammersmith & Fulham council as our Fulham base, same planning relationships, and a 15-minute drive from the studio.
Four services. One team. One number.
West Kensington projects: L-shape dormers on Victorian terraces, extension and refurbishment work on the larger houses along Edith Road, top-floor loft conversions in mansion blocks (with freeholder consent), and interior refurbishments throughout.

What homeowners ask before booking a West Kensington builder.
Can a W14 mansion-block flat have a loft conversion?
Top-floor flats in mansion blocks can — but the process requires freeholder written consent, party wall awards from all flats below, and usually full planning even outside a conservation area. Access and scaffold logistics in W14 add cost. Budget typically runs 25–40% higher than a comparable terraced-house loft.
What services does 2VP offer in West Kensington?
Across W14 we deliver loft conversions, house extensions (side-return, rear, wraparound, double-storey, basement), whole-house renovations and period restorations, and new builds where the site allows. Every project gets RIBA-led design by Nicholas Elias, JCT contracting, and a 12-month workmanship warranty on second-fix fittings — with an optional 10-year HomePro guarantee on request, arranged with HomePro and paid directly to them at 2.5% of the contract value.
Does 2VP work in West Kensington?
Yes. Our studio is at 20 Dawes Road in Fulham, which puts West Kensington W14 inside our core west and south-west London territory — close enough that the project manager is on site rather than on the phone. Delivered projects with photographs are at https://2vp.uk/projects.
What's 2VP's response time for West Kensington enquiries?
Same-day site visits, one working day for written quotes. You can also use the free 60-second cost calculator on this page for an instant tailored estimate — no callback required.
Does 2VP cover all of Hammersmith & Fulham or just West Kensington?
All of Hammersmith & Fulham. Our delivery teams cover the entire borough as part of our wider west and south-west London catchment. Our subcontractor network is local to W14 and surrounding postcodes.
Can I see 2VP's recent West Kensington projects?
Yes — our portfolio page shows project galleries with photography, architectural commentary and project budgets. Recent West Kensington work includes: Edith Road dormer (L-shape rear dormer, 2024); Sinclair Road extension (Side-return + kitchen, 2023); Avonmore Road refurb (Whole-house refurbishment, 2024).
