What We Cover Across Pimlico

Pimlico Property — Regency Stucco, Dolphin Square Art Deco & Churchill Gardens

Exploring Pimlico's unique architectural charm, we encounter three distinct property styles that define the area.

First, the Regency stucco terraces grace streets like Lupus and Belgrave. Built in the 1840s-1860s, these residences feature original wood front doors, often fitted with BS3621-spec mortice deadlocks that have endured over 60 years.

Next, Dolphin Square stands as an Art Deco marvel from 1937, with over 1,200 flats arranged around a central garden. Here, maintaining the building's heritage means working closely with management for any door upgrades, typically preserving the original mortice while updating internal cylinders.

Lastly, Churchill Gardens reflects post-war ingenuity, designed by Powell and Moya in the 1950s-60s. With many original factory hardware pieces now end-of-life, we often swap cylinders to TS007 3-Star standards, collaborating with the residents' association to guarantee seamless improvements.

Each style contributes to Pimlico's storied architectural tapestry.

Conservation Area Constraints and How We Work Around Them

Steering through the stringent constraints of the Pimlico Conservation Area, we focus on preserving the architectural integrity of the area's historic properties. This means respecting the Grade II listed status of Regency stucco terraces and the architectural significance of Churchill Gardens.

We often require Conservation Area consent for visible changes, such as adjusting original door fronts or adding smart locks.

Our approach prioritizes internal upgrades to maintain external aesthetics. For example, we swap cylinders inside existing cases and fit secondary anti-snap cylinders on back doors, keeping changes discreet.

In Dolphin Square, while not Grade II listed, we adhere to strict management guidelines to preserve Art Deco heritage.

We guarantee that any enhancements, like internal smart-lock retrofits for smartphone access, retain the original hardware. Our commitment is to balance modern functionality with the preservation of Pimlico's unique architectural charm.
