Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Belgravia. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house renovations across Belgravia, restoring and modernising the stucco-fronted Georgian and Regency townhouses that define SW1. Many are listed or sit within conservation areas, so refurbishment blends period restoration with contemporary services. With over 30 years of experience, one team manages the structure, trades and finishes from start to finish.

A full Belgravia renovation usually spans several floors, from the lower-ground kitchen to the top-floor bedrooms, and often means rewiring, replumbing and replastering an entire townhouse while keeping it liveable in stages. We sequence the structural work, services and finishes so trades follow in the right order, and we coordinate building control for any notifiable electrical, structural or drainage works along the way.
These houses carry cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, shutters and fireplaces worth preserving. Where a property is listed, we restore original features rather than strip them out, matching mouldings and joinery to the period. We reconfigure dated layouts to suit modern living while respecting the proportions and character that make a Belgravia townhouse what it is.
Running a full renovation in SW1 means coordinating many trades on a tight, often terraced street with limited access and neighbours close by. GS Renovation acts as the single point of accountability, scheduling the electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners and decorators so the project moves without gaps. We manage deliveries and waste carefully to keep a prestigious address tidy throughout.
Because Belgravia townhouses share party walls, any structural element of the renovation is checked against the Party Wall Act and notices served where needed. We handle kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and decoration as part of the same programme, so the finished house feels coherent rather than assembled from separate jobs, and every regulated element is properly signed off.
Belgravia owners choose GS Renovation because renovating a listed or period townhouse needs a builder who respects the fabric and controls every trade. We restore original features, upgrade services to modern standards and sequence the whole programme under one team. With 30+ years across SW1, you get a considered, compliant refurbishment on a demanding address.

FAQ
The method is deliberately dull: measure, scope, itemise. Nothing about home renovation is quoted over the phone for a Belgravia home, because a blind figure is a figure that changes later. We look at the SW1 property, allow for its period, Georgian and listed construction, and issue a written quotation. GS Renovation works that way throughout Westminster and it is why the figures hold. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk with the SW1 address and we will arrange a free survey. 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.
We start when we can see the job through. Taking on home renovation at a Belgravia property and then disappearing to another site is the commonest complaint about builders, so GS Renovation schedules the SW1 project properly instead. Availability changes by season and by how many Westminster jobs are running. Call 07472 424 226 and you will get honest dates, not a holding answer. The SW1 survey is free and puts a Belgravia project into the Westminster schedule.
We hand over, clear the site, and stay contactable. The home renovation work at an SW1 address ends with a final Westminster City Council inspection, the certificate you will need when the Belgravia property is sold, and a walk round with your project manager. GS Renovation then holds the five year guarantee on installations. Ring 07472 424 226 if anything needs looking at afterwards, anywhere in Westminster. Aftercare in Belgravia goes to the same Westminster team.
It can. Article 4 removes specific permitted development rights in defined areas, so changes that would be automatic elsewhere in Belgravia need a full application to Westminster City Council. We check whether your SW1 address is covered before any design work starts.
It should not, and preserving them is usually worth the extra time. Home renovation in stucco-fronted townhouses and early Victorian villas with deep basements can generally be routed around original detail rather than through it, and GS Renovation sets that out at the SW1 survey. Where something genuinely cannot be saved you are told before work begins. Westminster City Council may also have a view in a Belgravia conservation area. Ring 07472 424 226 and we will explain what home renovation can and cannot save at SW1.
Internal renovations do not normally need planning permission, and rewiring, replumbing and replastering are building regulations matters, with electrical work being notifiable. The important exception in Belgravia is listing: if your townhouse is listed, altering internal features, layouts or fabric can require listed building consent. We confirm your property's status first, then manage the works and any consents accordingly.
Yes, and it shows in the quotation rather than in the marketing. Working on stucco-fronted townhouses and early Victorian villas with deep basements around SW1 week after week is what lets GS Renovation price home renovation from experience instead of caution. Being nearby also means returning quickly for aftercare on a Belgravia job. Ask for addresses of finished work in Westminster and go and look. Ring 07472 424 226 and we will arrange that. Finished SW1 work nearby is usually available to view.
