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.
Full refurbishments in Brent period flats
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.
Renovating Victorian and interwar homes in Brent
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.
