Pimlico is a planned grid of stucco terraces, almost all inside the Pimlico Conservation Area and many listed, most of them divided into flats long ago. Much of the work is refurbishing apartments and whole buildings for owners and investors, along with fit-outs of the small commercial units on its local streets.
What a main contractor has to manage in Pimlico
- Uniform terraces: the conservation area protects consistent facades, railings, roofs and windows. External changes are tightly controlled, and Article 4 directions remove some permitted development rights.
- Converted buildings need freeholder consent, fire separation between flats and acoustic upgrades when flats are refurbished.
- Investment property: refurbishments for letting are specified for durability, low maintenance and compliance (fire safety, electrical certification, EPC improvements).
- Basements and vaults under the pavement are common, and often damp. Waterproofing and ventilation are planned into any refurbishment.
