Our facade restoration services
Kensington and Chelsea are known for elegant townhouses, historic terraces, and prestigious commercial buildings. Exposure to weather, pollution, and ageing materials can cause gradual deterioration that affects both appearance and structural integrity. KT Facade Restoration offers a complete range of services designed to restore and protect external building surfaces.
Brick and stone restoration
We repair damaged brickwork and stone facades using compatible materials that match the existing structure. Our work includes careful cleaning, repair of cracks and erosion, and replacement of damaged elements while preserving the building’s original character.
Repointing and mortar repairs
Deteriorated mortar joints can allow water ingress and accelerate structural decay. We provide traditional lime mortar repointing and modern mortar solutions where appropriate, ensuring improved durability while maintaining the building’s historic appearance.
Render repair and restoration
Cracked or weathered render can compromise insulation and allow moisture penetration. Our team assesses the condition of existing render, carries out necessary repairs, and applies breathable finishes suited to the building’s needs and conservation guidelines.
Facade cleaning
Environmental pollutants and biological growth can leave facades discoloured or stained. We use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning techniques including steam cleaning and specialist chemical treatments where necessary, restoring surfaces without causing damage.
Structural facade repairs
Where movement or structural issues have affected the building’s exterior, we provide professional repair solutions. This may include crack stitching, masonry reinforcement, and remedial work designed to stabilise and strengthen the facade.
Decorative features and heritage restoration
Many properties in Kensington and Chelsea feature ornate architectural details. Our skilled craftsmen repair and reinstate decorative elements such as cornices, mouldings, and stone carvings, ensuring a seamless finish that respects the building’s original design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is facade restoration?
Facade restoration involves repairing, cleaning, and preserving the exterior surfaces of a building to improve appearance, maintain structural integrity, and extend its lifespan.
How do I know if my building needs facade restoration?
Signs include cracked brickwork, crumbling mortar, damp patches, discolouration, loose render, or visible structural movement. A professional survey can identify underlying issues.
Do you work on listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes. We have experience working on heritage and listed properties and follow conservation guidelines to ensure compliance with local planning requirements.
How long does a facade restoration project take?
Project duration depends on the building’s size, condition, and the scope of work involved. Following an initial survey, we provide a clear timeframe tailored to the project.
Will facade restoration improve property value?
A well-maintained exterior enhances kerb appeal, improves structural condition, and can positively influence property value and marketability.
