Kensington's white stucco terraces are mostly divided into flats now, and the conversions rarely sealed the original service voids. Mice in particular move vertically between units through pipe boxing and behind kitchen runs, which is why treating a single flat so often fails here. High Street Kensington's retail and food premises bring separate commercial work.
