What Kensington residents and businesses ask for

Kensington is mostly residential. Its streets are lined with mansion blocks, converted period houses and garden squares, alongside shops on Kensington High Street, antique dealers on Kensington Church Street and the museums on Exhibition Road. That shapes the work:

  • Mansion blocks and apartment buildings with communal doors, underground car parks and bin stores that attract trespass or rough sleeping
  • Family homes in Holland Park, Campden Hill and around Kensington Square, often empty during school holidays
  • Older residents living alone in flats, with family members elsewhere in the country or overseas
  • Student and short-let accommodation around Earls Court, Gloucester Road and South Kensington
  • Shops and dealers with valuable stock on Kensington High Street and Kensington Church Street
  • Events in private homes, hotels and hired halls, from children’s parties to charity dinners

Welfare checks and property visits

Two of the services most often needed in Kensington do not involve a guard standing at a door.

Welfare and safety checks. If a parent, tenant or lone worker in Kensington has stopped answering the phone, a DBS-checked responder can visit, knock, speak to them if they answer and message you with what they found. If anyone needs medical help or is in danger, the responder calls 999. See welfare and safety checks.

Property visits. For a flat between tenants or a house left over the summer, a responder can check entry points, look for leaks or signs of forced entry and send photos. See property security checks.

Security for apartment blocks

Managing agents and residents’ associations in Kensington book guards when a block has a problem that will not wait for the next committee meeting: a forced communal door, repeated trespass in the car park, a spate of parcel thefts or a lift out of action during a move. An officer can cover the entrance, patrol common areas overnight and log what happens. Find out more about apartment block security.
