Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Camden. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation refurbishes homes across Camden, from converted period flats in Camden Town to Georgian and Regency townhouses in Hampstead and Bloomsbury. With over 30 years in NW1, NW3, WC1, N6 and N7, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural work, and restores the period features that give these homes their character.

A full renovation of a Camden townhouse or period flat touches every trade, so sequencing matters. We strip back, deal with any structural work and steel first, then run the new wiring and pipework before replastering, so the messy work is finished before the kitchen, bathrooms and decoration go in. Managing it all in-house means the trades follow on without gaps and your home comes back together in a logical order.
Camden's older stock often hides tired wiring, lead or worn plumbing and lime plaster behind later finishes. We upgrade services to current standards, notifying the electrical work under building regulations, while keeping the fabric of a solid-wall period home breathing correctly. Where the property is listed or in a conservation area, we work within Camden Council's requirements and protect original detailing throughout.
The appeal of a Highgate or Bloomsbury home lies in its cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, sash windows and cast-iron fireplaces. During renovation we protect and repair these features rather than strip them out, matching new mouldings to the originals and easing sashes back into working order. Reconfiguring a dated layout is balanced against keeping the proportions that make a Georgian or Victorian room feel right.
Many Camden houses were split into flats or awkwardly altered over the decades, and part of the work is putting sensible layouts back. We might reopen a chimney breast, rationalise a warren of small rooms or improve the flow between kitchen and reception, coordinating any load-bearing changes with a structural engineer and building control while the rest of the refurbishment carries on around it.
Camden homeowners choose GS Renovation because a whole-house refurbishment needs one accountable team, not a string of separate trades. We sequence structure, services and finishes so the job runs smoothly in an occupied period home, respect conservation and listed constraints, and protect the features that matter. With 30+ years across NW1, NW3 and WC1, the result is built to last.

FAQ
Scope, programme and price, on one document. For a Camden property the home renovation quotation sets out what is being done, in what order, and what each element costs, including the Camden Council building control fee. Exclusions are stated plainly rather than left to be discovered at NW1. Homeowners across Camden get the same format from GS Renovation. Ring 07472 424 226 or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk and we will arrange a free survey at the NW1 property. 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.
Period terraces, converted flats and a substantial amount of estate housing. Around Camden that range means the same brief produces very different projects, from a Georgian house where consent governs almost every decision to a post war flat where the lease and the building's construction do. The survey establishes which situation applies before a scope is written, because the constraints differ far more than the works do.
Consent comes before design, and it can limit what is possible inside as well as outside. Where your Camden property carries statutory protection, alterations affecting its character need consent, and that can extend to internal walls, joinery, windows and plasterwork. Establishing the position first avoids a design that cannot be approved. We appoint the relevant specialists and work to what is consented.
Yes, with the floor treated as shared and the neighbours kept informed. In your Camden flat the floor being worked on is the ceiling of the home beneath, and drilling, cutting and even foot traffic carry through it. Working hours are agreed, the heaviest operations are concentrated rather than spread out, and any disturbance to the separating floor is reinstated. Most disputes here start with a lack of warning.
Lead times and consents far more often than the building work. On a Camden project, joinery, windows and specified fittings can take longer to arrive than the trades take to install them, and any consent has its own timetable. Ordering long lead items at the point the design is fixed keeps them off the critical path. A programme that assumes immediate supply will slip.
The work stops at that point and the options are priced before anything is decided. Opening up a Camden property regularly reveals earlier alterations, redundant services or structure that was never recorded, and none of it can be priced accurately in advance. A contingency is agreed at the outset, what it is spent on is reported, and a variation is agreed in writing rather than absorbed quietly.
