Prime London's Trusted Luxury Builder

Vine Construction luxury London home renovation — Kensington townhouse extension with heritage sash windows and stone facade

Vine Construction is a family-run firm of luxury London builders specialising in the discreet, high-specification renovation of period townhouses, mews properties and prime residential estates across the capital. Since 2008 we have delivered complex home extensions, loft conversions, basement conversions and full period property restorations for owners of Grade II listed homes, conservation-area properties and estate-managed leaseholds including Grosvenor, Cadogan, Portman and Howard de Walden.

Our teams combine traditional trades — lime plastering, timber joinery, lead work, stone masonry and traditional sash window restoration — with modern building science: airtightness detailing, MVHR, underfloor heating and heritage-appropriate secondary glazing for acoustic and thermal upgrades that preserve historic character. Every project is led by a dedicated contracts manager, delivered under a JCT contract, and covered by £2m public liability and £10m employer's liability insurance.

Glass Partitions & Interior Glazing

Light is the most valuable material in a London period home. Our bespoke interior glazing service brings frameless glass partitions, internal doors, shower enclosures and mirrored features into our renovations across Kensington, Chelsea, Mayfair and Belgravia — engineered, templated and installed to the standard our clients expect.

Why Interior Glazing Transforms Period Homes

Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian floorplates were designed around small, compartmentalised rooms. Modern living demands openness — but removing walls is not always possible in listed buildings or conservation areas. Interior glazing solves this elegantly: a frameless glass partition or a set of reeded-glass double doors preserves the room's proportions and satisfies conservation officers, while allowing daylight to travel deep into the plan.

We specify low-iron toughened glass as standard for true colour clarity, with acoustic laminated interlayers where sound separation matters — between a home office and a family kitchen, for example. Bronze-tinted, fluted and reeded options introduce texture and privacy without heaviness, and pair beautifully with the brushed bronze and dark bronze ironmongery palettes we use across our luxury refurbishments.

Frameless Glass Partitions

Structural silicone-jointed frameless partitions that divide open-plan living spaces without sacrificing light. Ideal for separating kitchens from dining areas in Kensington and Chelsea lateral apartments.

Internal Glass Doors

Pivot, hinged and sliding internal glass doors in clear, reeded, fluted or bronze-tinted glass with slim bronze or blackened-steel frames — a signature detail in Mayfair and Belgravia refurbishments.

Bespoke Shower Enclosures

Made-to-measure frameless shower screens and wet-room enclosures in 10mm toughened low-iron glass, templated and installed to millimetre tolerance within our luxury bathroom builds.

Glass Balustrades & Screens

Internal balustrades for staircases, mezzanines and lightwells, plus decorative reeded and fluted screens that bring texture and privacy to hallways and dressing rooms.

Mirrored & Antique Glass

Antique mirror feature walls, bronzed mirror splashbacks and bespoke mirrored joinery panels that amplify light in lower-ground and basement spaces.

Design, Templating & Installation

Full measured survey, CAD templating, structural calculation and installation by specialist glaziers — coordinated seamlessly with our joinery, electrical and decoration trades.

Specialist Glass Interiors, Supplied & Installed

For complex internal glazing packages — frameless partitions, bespoke shower screens, antique mirror and reeded glass — we work with our specialist partner Prime Glass Interiors, whose dedicated glaziers template and install to the tolerances our joinery and stone work demands.

Integrated Into Your Wider Renovation

Interior glazing is never an afterthought in our projects. During the design stage we coordinate glass partitions with structural openings, underfloor heating zones, lighting scenes and ironmongery schedules, so channels, clamps and fixings are concealed within the build rather than retrofitted. On a recent Kensington apartment refurbishment, a frameless reeded-glass screen allowed the entrance hall to borrow light from the reception room while keeping the two spaces acoustically separate.

Whether your project is a single statement shower enclosure or a whole-house glazing package, we handle survey, specification, Building Regulations compliance and installation as part of one accountable contract.
