Chester House

By RoakWPAdmin / May 21, 2025

ROAK was engaged to refurbish part of Chester House, a historically interesting mansion block near Kennington.

Having previously carried out work in the same building for a renowned interior designer, we knew the limitations of the structure and the sensitivity of the environment. This meant that the work was carried out sympathetically in a live environment.

Our expert team worked alongside the client to develop the scheme, which delivered a stunning result.

Great skill, focus and dedication

Great skill, focus and dedication

“We worked with ROAK on a recent refurbishment and extension of a 17th century timber-framed house near Farnham. Throughout the project, David and his team worked with great skill, focus and dedication to deliver on a very challenging project. This enabled us to complete the project within a tight schedule and in line with the client’s exacting requirements.”

Senior Architect, Lees Munday

Great skill, focus and dedication

Consistently excellent

“Professional, highly skilled, conscientious and consistent. ROAK completed an extensive rebuild and renovation project on our Tudor house, and we are delighted. We would recommend them without hesitation. The quality of the rebuild was consistently excellent from the old lime plaster and oak of the cottage to the sharp, modern lines of the rest.”
