GS Renovation takes on whole-house renovations throughout Bexley, breathing new life into tired 1930s semis and interwar family homes in Bexleyheath, Welling and Sidcup. Across DA6, DA7, DA15 and SE2, one team handles the rewire, the replumb, the replaster and the structural changes together. Backed by 30+ years, we turn dated houses into modern family homes.
Modernising 1930s semis across Bexley
A typical Bexley refurbishment strips a 1930s semi back to sound structure, then rebuilds it to a modern standard. Wiring installed decades ago rarely meets current regulations, so a full rewire is usually the starting point, followed by a new heating system and updated plumbing. We replaster walls and ceilings, upgrade insulation where the interwar construction allows, and put right the settlement cracks and damp that older suburban houses often develop.
These houses were built with small, separate rooms that no longer suit family life. We reconfigure the ground floor, often removing the spine wall with a steel beam to open the kitchen into the dining room, and rethink how the hall, cloakroom and utility space work. Every structural change is engineered and signed off by Bexley Council building control, so the modernised layout is as sound as it is practical.
Sequencing a full Bexley refurbishment
The advantage of one team is order. On a whole-house project in DA5 or DA15 we programme the work so structural steel, first-fix wiring and pipework happen before plastering, and kitchens and bathrooms follow once the shell is dry. Decoration comes last. This sequence stops finished work being ripped out for a service that was left too late, and keeps the whole renovation moving to a single, realistic timeline.
Not every Bexley house is a plain semi. The borough also has older period properties around Hall Place and the older parts of Sidcup, where original cornicing, picture rails and fireplaces are worth saving. Where a house has genuine period character we restore and repair those features rather than strip them out, blending careful conservation with the modern wiring, heating and insulation that make the house comfortable to live in.
