GS Renovation refurbishes whole houses across Brixton, breathing new life into the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces that define SW2. With more than 30 years in Lambeth, one team rewires, replumbs, replasters and reconfigures your home, sequencing structural work, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration so the project runs in the right order from start to finish.
Full refurbishments of Brixton terraces
A tired SW2 terrace often hides good bones under decades of dated work. We strip back to sound structure, then rewire and replumb the whole house, upgrade the consumer unit and replace old pipework before the walls are closed up. Lime or gypsum plaster goes back on, floors are levelled and insulation is improved where the fabric allows. Getting these first-fix trades right, in sequence, is what makes the finished house feel solid.
Brixton's terraces reward keeping their period character. Where cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails and cast fireplaces survive, we restore and work around them; where they have been lost, we can reinstate mouldings to suit the age of the house. At the same time we reconfigure dated layouts, opening cramped rear rooms or reworking a narrow hallway, so the home feels modern to live in while keeping the proportions that make these houses special.
Sequencing your Brixton renovation properly
The value of a single team on a Brixton whole-house project is the order of works. Any structural changes, a steel beam knock-through or chimney breast removal, happen first, with building control involved served where a shared wall is affected. Only then do first-fix electrics and plumbing follow, then plastering, then the kitchen and bathrooms, then second fix and decoration. We plan this so trades never undo each other's work.
Living through a full renovation in an occupied SW2 home takes care, so we protect floors and staircases, seal off dust and keep clear routes through the house. Internal renovation of this kind does not need planning permission, though the electrical and any structural work is notifiable under building regulations and signed off accordingly. We give you a realistic programme, keep you updated week by week and hand over a home that is genuinely finished.
