GS Renovation refurbishes whole houses across Camden Town, the kind of bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces that fill NW1 from Kentish Town down towards Bloomsbury. With over 30 years of experience, we take a tired period home, rewire and replumb it, reconfigure the dated layout and restore the features worth keeping, all managed by a single team.
Whole-house refurbishment in Camden Town
A full Camden Town renovation usually means stripping the house back, replacing old wiring and pipework, and replastering throughout before the new layout takes shape. Many NW1 terraces still carry decades of piecemeal changes, so we open up cramped rear rooms, sort out damp in solid walls and closet wings, and set the house up properly for modern heating, kitchens and bathrooms rather than patching around the problems.
Running structure, services and finishes as one programme is what keeps a whole-house project sane. We sequence any steel beams and knock-throughs first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, the kitchen and bathrooms, and finally decoration. Because it is one team on site, there is no gap where a trade waits on another, and you deal with one point of contact from start to finish.
Restoring period features in NW1 homes
Camden Town buyers rightly value the original character of these terraces, so where cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, sash windows and fireplaces survive, we protect and restore them as the work goes on. We match new plaster mouldings to what is there and keep the proportions of the period rooms, so the house reads as a whole rather than a modern shell wrapped in old brick.
At the same time we bring the fabric up to today's standards, improving insulation where the solid walls allow, upgrading the heating and making the house warmer and quieter. The bathroom and kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so that work is certified. The result is a period Camden home that keeps its charm but runs like a modern one.
