Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Battersea. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments throughout Battersea, breathing new life into the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SW11. With over 30 years working in South West London, one team manages the rewiring, plumbing, plastering, structural changes and finishes, so your period home is brought up to modern standards without losing its character.

A full renovation of a Battersea terrace usually means stripping back decades of piecemeal changes, from tired wiring to failing plaster and awkward layouts inherited from earlier conversions. We rewire and replumb throughout, replaster walls and ceilings, and reconfigure cramped rooms and closet wings into layouts that suit how people actually live now, all while keeping the house watertight and safe to occupy where possible.
These SW11 homes often retain cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails and cast fireplaces worth saving. We restore period features where they survive and reinstate them sympathetically where they have been lost, matching the proportions of the original build. The aim is a house that feels contemporary and efficient inside while still reading as the Victorian or Edwardian terrace it has always been.
The hardest part of a whole-house job is sequence. Structural work such as steel beams and wall removals must come before first-fix electrics and plumbing, which come before plastering, which comes before kitchens, bathrooms and decoration. We plan this order at the outset so trades are not tripping over each other and the Battersea property moves forward steadily rather than stalling between different contractors.
Managing everything under one roof also means clear accountability. You deal with us, not a chain of separate firms, and building control inspections for the notifiable work are booked and passed as we go. For families staying elsewhere during the works, or landlords turning around a rental near Wandsworth Common, this single point of responsibility keeps an ambitious SW11 renovation on time and on budget.
Battersea homeowners choose GS Renovation for whole-house work because one experienced team handles the lot, from structure to the final decoration. We understand the quirks of SW11's period terraces, we sequence the trades properly, and we keep the site tidy and the work certified. Our 30+ years mean fewer surprises on an old house.

FAQ
Three things drive it: how much structure is involved, how difficult access is at the SW11 address, and what making good takes afterwards. All three appear separately in the home renovation quotation for your Battersea property. Late Victorian and Edwardian houses tend to move the third of those, because materials and dimensions are rarely regular. GS Renovation prices each element rather than averaging across Wandsworth. Ring 07472 424 226 and we will explain which of them dominates at your SW11 address. As a rough guide, home renovation in London ranges from roughly £40,000 to £150,000 or more for a full refurbishment (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.
It varies through the year and you will get the real answer. GS Renovation will not open an SW11 property for home renovation until the team can stay on it to the end, which is why a Battersea start date is committed rather than provisional. Approvals from Wandsworth Council run alongside. Call 07472 424 226 and we will check the next available Wandsworth slot. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk with the SW11 postcode and we will confirm the position.
Read them before you speak to us, ideally. The MyBuilder reviews describe how home renovation projects actually ran, which is more useful to a Battersea homeowner than any claim we could make about the SW11 job. GS Renovation holds a 4.9 rating across 31 reviews. We will supply addresses too, so you can look at finished Wandsworth work. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk for details. Ask for SW11 addresses and visit a finished Wandsworth job.
Yes. Listed building consent is required for works affecting character, inside as well as out, and it is separate from planning permission. Unauthorised work is a criminal offence. Where your Battersea property is listed we lead the application with Wandsworth Council before anything begins.
Mostly by removing the guesswork a modern house allows. GS Renovation cannot assume how a late Victorian and Edwardian SW11 property is built, so home renovation starts with confirming it and the quotation follows from there. That is slower at the start and far more reliable afterwards. Homeowners right across Battersea and Wandsworth get exactly the same approach. Ask on 07472 424 226 what home renovation at an SW11 property in Battersea has to establish before any design work.
Yes. On Battersea's Victorian and Edwardian terraces we routinely rewire, replumb, replaster and reconfigure while carefully retaining cornicing, fireplaces and other period detail. Where features have already been lost, we can reinstate them to match the age of the house. Everything is sequenced by one team, with building control signing off the notifiable electrical and structural work.
Just ask, and expect a straight answer. GS Renovation works across Battersea, Putney and much of South West London, so most enquiries about home renovation at an SW11 address are within range. Where they are not, we will say so and often suggest someone else. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk with the postcode and the job description. Nothing is owed for the reply or the survey. Turning work down honestly is better for a Wandsworth homeowner than guessing.
