Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Westminster
Borthwick Decorators works on Pimlico stucco terraces, Georgian listed homes and Westminster Conservation Area properties across SW1. Six decades of London period-property experience. 175+ verified reviews at 4.9/5 rating.
Pimlico stucco, listed-building rows, Westminster proper.
Westminster as a residential character is two halves. The northern half — Smith Square, Lord North Street, Cowley Street, Catherine Place — carries the listed Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses near Parliament. The southern half — Pimlico’s Eccleston Square, St George’s Square, Lupus Street, Vincent Square — carries the Cubitt-built stucco terraces that anchor SW1.
Decorating Westminster: Westminster City Council documentation, Grade II/II* listed-building consents (especially in the Smith Square area), sympathetic palettes for stucco exteriors, designer-led specification for interior schemes. Most programmes are private-client direct or interior-designer specified.

ABOUT WESTMINSTER
Whitehall to Pimlico — Westminster's two residential characters.
Westminster SW1 contains some of London’s most-protected residential stock. The northern listed pocket around Smith Square, Lord North Street and Cowley Street holds the Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses that house the parliamentary and diplomatic class. The Pimlico south side — Eccleston, St George’s, Lupus Street — is the Cubitt stucco terrace estate, mostly Grade II listed, with garden-square communals.
In practical terms it means Westminster City Council compliance, listed-building consents documentation, sympathetic palettes for stucco exteriors and listed interiors, discreet on-site behaviour for sensitive properties. Borthwick has worked Westminster for decades.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Westminster.
Do you take on listed-building work in Westminster?
Yes. Most of Westminster sits in RBKC, Westminster or City Conservation Areas with substantial listed-building density. We hold the heritage specialism and documentation discipline conservation officers expect.
Which streets do you cover?
All of SW1. Strongest concentration of recent work on Smith Square, Lord North Street, Eccleston Square and the surrounding garden squares.
Do you work with interior designers and architects?
Frequently. Most of our Westminster work is designer- or architect-specified. We support sample boards, attend site meetings as part of the design team, and execute to RIBA briefs.
How do you handle scaffolded exterior work?
We coordinate licensing with the borough, hold our own scaffolding cover, and work to the borough's Conservation specification for listed and Conservation Area facades.
What is a typical Westminster project size?
Single-room refreshes through to whole-house programmes. Most Westminster work runs three to twelve weeks. Listed buildings and conservation-area properties get the consent paperwork and quiet conduct they need.
