Electricians & plumbers in Kensington & Holland Park
Electricians, plumbers and lighting-control engineers across Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill, with careful work in period homes and mansion flats.
Working in Kensington & Holland Park
Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill are in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, covering W8, W11 and parts of W14. Most homes are stucco-fronted Victorian houses, mansion flats and large apartments, many in conservation areas.
A lot of homes here have lighting control and low-voltage lighting that is now ageing: Lutron and Rako systems, transformers and halogen fittings. We replace failed lamps, transformers and dimming parts, upgrade fittings to LED where it suits the system, and fault-find circuits that keep failing.
We also handle rewires, consumer units, plumbing and redecoration between tenancies, protecting period floors and features and arranging access with porters and managing agents.
Property licensing in Kensington & Holland Park
Kensington and Chelsea does not run selective licensing, so a home let to one household does not need a council licence.
The borough’s additional HMO licensing runs from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028 across the whole borough, so shared houses and flats need a licence.
Every let still needs an EICR at least every five years, a gas safety record every year where there is gas, and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Licence applications usually ask for the EICR and gas safety record, and we can provide both, with any remedial work quoted in writing first.
Licensing rules change, so always check the exact address with Kensington and Chelsea Council. Correct as of November 2026.
