GS Renovation takes on whole-house refurbishments across Barnet, breathing new life into the 1930s semis and interwar houses of Finchley, Hendon and Golders Green. With over 30 years across N2, N3, N12, NW4 and NW11, we manage rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural changes with one team, sequencing the whole project from strip-out to final decoration.
Refurbishing interwar houses across Barnet
Many of Barnet's interwar houses still carry their original compartmentalised layout, with small kitchens, separate dining rooms and dated wiring and pipework from decades of piecemeal updates. A full refurbishment lets us reconfigure these rooms for modern life, often knocking through to create open-plan living at the rear while keeping the period character that makes homes around Hampstead Garden Suburb and Mill Hill so sought after.
We strip back to what needs replacing and renew the essentials, a full rewire, new plumbing and heating, fresh plaster and, where the fabric allows, improved insulation. Original features worth saving, such as cornicing, picture rails, panelled doors and cast fireplaces, are protected and restored rather than lost. Everything is brought up to current standards, with kitchen and bathroom electrics notified under building regulations.
One team managing your Barnet renovation
The value of a whole-house project is sequence. We plan structural work first, any steel beams or wall removals signed off by building control, then first-fix services, plaster, kitchens, bathrooms, second fix and decoration follow in the right order. Where wall removal touches the wall you share with a neighbour, a common situation in Barnet's semis, party wall notices are served in good time.
One team means one point of contact and no gaps between trades blaming each other. We coordinate electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners and tilers on a single programme, keeping the site tidy and the work moving whether you stay put or move out during the build. You get clear stages, honest timescales and a finished home that works from top to bottom.
