The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Earl's Court SW5
Period refurbishments in Earl's Court are restoration jobs: original cornices, sash boxes, re-finished boards and old glass that a wrong product ruins permanently on SW5 jobs, with 25% owner-occupation locally.

Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift.
