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.
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!
