Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Brent. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house and whole-flat refurbishments across Brent, from tired mansion flats in NW6 to run-down interwar semis around Willesden and Harlesden. With 30+ years in the borough, one team manages the rewire, replumb, replaster and reconfiguration, sequencing the structural work, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration so nothing is left disconnected.

Brent's red-brick mansion blocks and purpose-built period flats in NW2 and NW6 often keep their original layouts, with a long hallway, small rooms and dated services. We strip back, rewire and replumb, then reconfigure the plan to suit how you actually live, opening the kitchen to the reception where the structure and the freeholder's licence allow. Sound insulation between flats is a real consideration, so we build in acoustic measures during the works.
Because these blocks are leasehold, we coordinate with the managing agent over access, working hours and the building-management rules before we start. Where we retain period features, such as cornicing, picture rails or panelled doors, we restore rather than rip out, and we replaster the walls and ceilings to give you sound, level surfaces ready for a proper decorative finish throughout the flat.
The Victorian terraces and interwar semis around Harlesden, Willesden and Wembley respond well to a full renovation that brings the services up to date without stripping out the character. We manage the rewire and consumer unit, the new pipework and heating, damp treatment where the solid walls need it, and fresh plaster throughout, all in a logical sequence so trades are not tripping over each other.
Reconfiguring these Brent homes often involves structural change, such as removing a load-bearing wall on a steel beam or forming a new opening, which we engineer and sign off with building control. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decoration then follow in the right order. Running it as one project through a single team keeps the timeline tight and stops the gaps that appear when trades are booked piecemeal.
Brent homeowners choose GS Renovation for a full refurbishment because everything sits with one team, from the first-fix electrics to the final decoration. We understand the leasehold reality of the borough's mansion flats and the solid-wall construction of its period houses, and we sequence structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes properly. Thirty years across NW and HA postcodes means fewer surprises.
George was brilliant. Lovely bloke, very reasonably priced and a perfectionist to boot. He completed our small kitchen renovation with care and great attention to detail. I've already recommended him to others.
Splendid job on our new kitchen refurb, including new flooring, moving the services, installing RSJ and preparing space for new back doors… George was always friendly, communicative and has an excellent attention to detail, ensuring everything is finished to a high standard.
Giorgio is an excellent and intelligent workman, and with very reasonable prices!… He paid a lot of attention to detail that is not common at all, and the final result was immaculate. Highly recommended!
FAQ
Pricing home renovation in Brent comes down to the size of the job, the specification you choose and the condition of the property. Rather than guess, we survey and give you a fixed, itemised quote you can rely on. Call 07472 424 226. 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.

Yes. A large share of Brent's homes are mansion-block and period-flat properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as leasehold consents, shared structure and sound insulation between flats, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes. Across Willesden and the wider NW10 and NW2 area we rewire, replumb and replaster while carefully restoring cornicing, picture rails and original doors rather than removing them. As these blocks are leasehold, we coordinate with your managing agent and observe the building-management rules, and we build in sound insulation between flats as part of the works.
We cover the whole of Brent and the NW2 area and the surrounding North West London. If you are nearby and not sure, just call 07472 424 226 and we will tell you straight away.
