GS Renovation refurbishes whole houses across Charlton, the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SE7 with their rear closet wings, side returns and original features worth keeping. With more than 30 years in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we manage rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural change with one team from start to finish.
Whole-house refurbishment in Charlton terraces
A full renovation of a Charlton terrace usually means rewiring, replumbing and replastering throughout, then reconfiguring dated layouts to suit how people live now. We often open up the ground floor with a steel beam, relocate a tired bathroom and rework the closet wing to make better use of the plan. Sequencing matters, so the first fix, the structure and the finishes all follow the right order.
These SE7 houses were built with solid walls, suspended timber floors and lath-and-plaster ceilings, so we plan for the quirks that come with period stock. One project manager coordinates the trades, keeps the site tidy in an occupied or empty home, and makes sure the electrics, plumbing, plastering and joinery hand over cleanly from one stage to the next.
Restoring period features in Charlton homes
Charlton's Victorian and Edwardian terraces still carry the details that give them character, from cornicing and ceiling roses to picture rails, panelled doors and cast fireplaces. Where these survive we protect and restore them, and where they have been lost we can reinstate sympathetic replacements so the refurbishment respects the age of the house rather than stripping it bare.
We balance that heritage with modern comfort, adding proper insulation, updated wiring and efficient heating behind the scenes. Bay windows, the original front elevations facing the street and traditional proportions are kept, while kitchens, bathrooms and services are brought up to date. The result is a Charlton home that feels contemporary to live in but keeps the period feel that drew you to SE7.
