Prime Build Works builds for homeowners across Chelsea, covering the SW3 and SW10 postcodes. Chelsea is Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, mansion flats and mews houses, much of it listed or in a conservation area, so careful refurbishments, roofing and finishing work are the sort of work we do here.

Where we work

Building work across Chelsea

We cover Chelsea and the streets around it across the SW3 and SW10 postcodes, from the King’s Road and the garden squares to World’s End, Chelsea Harbour and the streets towards Brompton. If your home is near Sloane Square, the Embankment, Cheyne Walk or the King’s Road, it is well within the area we work in.

Chelsea sits in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which is strict on planning. Much of Chelsea is in a conservation area and a great many buildings are listed, so we check your address carefully and handle building control, listed building consent and party wall notices before any work starts.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about building work in Chelsea

Which areas of Chelsea do you cover?

All of it. We work across the SW3 and SW10 postcodes, including the King’s Road and the garden squares, World’s End, Chelsea Harbour and the streets towards Brompton.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Chelsea?

Chelsea is different from most areas. Much of it is in a conservation area and a great many homes are listed, so permitted development rights are often restricted and listed building consent may be needed. We check your address carefully before any work and handle the applications for you.

How long does a loft conversion take?

A loft conversion in a Chelsea townhouse depends heavily on the roof and any listing or conservation controls. We assess what is possible for your property and give you a realistic schedule with your quote.

Do you work on flats as well as houses?

Yes. A lot of Chelsea is mansion flats and period conversions. We take on refurbishments, kitchens and finishing work in flats, subject to freeholder, lease and any listed building conditions.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance and can send you the details before work starts.
