Heritage Shopfront Restoration in Kensington

We solve that by matching enquiries to installers in Kensington whose day-to-day work is exactly this — heritage shopfront restoration on commercial premises like yours.
Why use a Kensington specialist?

Common questions
What permissions are needed?
Conservation area: shopfront replacement usually requires planning permission. Listed building: also requires listed building consent. The specialist will prepare the heritage statement and drawings, and handle the application.
Can lost features be reinstated?
Yes — pilasters, cornices, fascias, mullions and traditional shop windows can all be recreated from historic photographs, neighbouring examples, or surviving fragments. Many high streets benefit from heritage-led restoration that recovers the original character.
