Planning, survey and product questions in Kensington
Do I need planning permission for new windows in Kensington?
Kensington's conservation areas and listed buildings drive a timber-first approach, with slimline double glazing where performance upgrades are needed. Permission depends on the exact property, elevation, listing status and council guidance, so Astragal treats planning-sensitive projects as a survey and specification question before manufacture.
Which window and door styles are most common in Kensington?
Kensington's stucco terraces and mansion blocks need carefully proportioned sash windows, slim glazing bars and entrance doors that match the rhythm of the surrounding street. Timber is usually the first route for visible period elevations, while aluminium, industrial aluminium or Crittall can suit rear extensions, internal screens and larger glazing briefs.
Does Astragal survey W8 and SW7?
Yes. Astragal Doors and Windows surveys Kensington and neighbouring parts of South west London. The first enquiry is most useful with photos, rough opening sizes, the project stage and any planning or conservation notes already known.
