Decorating Logan Place

Logan Place is a sought-after residential street in Kensington, W8, developed in the latter half of the nineteenth century with a mix of brick-built terraces and semi-detached villas that reflect the area's prosperity during the Victorian building boom. The street runs between Warwick Road and Earl's Court Road and benefits from its position within a calm residential enclave characterised by mature plane trees and well-maintained front gardens. Properties range from substantial double-fronted villas to elegant mid-Victorian terraces.

The variety of brick and render facades on Logan Place means that painters must assess each property individually, applying appropriate breathable masonry systems to rendered elevations and careful repointing or cleaning to exposed brickwork before any decorative coatings. Internal work in these substantial Victorian homes often involves high-ceilinged rooms with ornate cornicing that rewards skilled decorators.
