Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Croydon. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation refurbishes whole houses across Croydon, from tired 1930s semis in Purley and Coulsdon to interwar family homes around Addiscombe and SE19. With over 30 years in CR0, CR2 and CR7, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and any structural change, so the entire project runs to a single plan.

Many of Croydon's interwar semis have never had a full update, so we take them back to a sound shell and rebuild the services from there. That means a full rewire to modern standards, new pipework and heating, and replastering throughout. The dated boxy layouts common in 1930s houses, with small kitchens and closed-off reception rooms, are reconfigured into the open, connected spaces families want today.
We sequence the work in the right order so nothing is done twice. Structural changes and steel beams go in first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, then plastering, then the kitchen, bathrooms, second-fix and decoration. Notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations. Running it as one continuous programme keeps a Croydon refurbishment tidy and predictable in an occupied or emptied home.
Croydon is not only interwar semis. The Victorian villas around Addiscombe and the streets near Crystal Palace and SE19 often keep original cornicing, picture rails, panelled doors and fireplaces worth saving. Where these survive, we repair and reinstate them rather than strip them out, matching mouldings and restoring joinery so the character of the house is protected through the refurbishment.
At the same time we bring the fabric up to standard, improving insulation, upgrading the heating and dealing with any damp in the older solid-wall construction. The result blends the period proportions Croydon buyers value with the warmth, wiring and layout of a modern home. Handling structure, services and finishes together means the decoration is never disturbed by work that should have come first.
Croydon homeowners choose GS Renovation because a full refurbishment needs one team holding the whole sequence, not a string of separate trades. We manage the structure, services, plastering, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration in the right order. With 30+ years across CR0, CR2 and CR7, we deliver a coordinated result with clear pricing and tidy working.
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!
FAQ
Every Croydon project is priced on its own merits, as the cost of home renovation varies with the size, specification and condition of the home. We give a clear, itemised quote up front with no obligation. Call 07472 424 226 for an estimate tailored to your 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.

Yes. A large share of Croydon's homes are 1930s and interwar properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as cavity walls, regular original layouts and the generous plots that suit extending, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, that is our core work. We take the house back to a sound shell, rewire and replumb, install any steel beams to open up the layout, replaster, then fit the kitchen, bathrooms and decoration. Running it as one programme across CR0, CR2 or CR7 avoids the delays and repeated work that come from juggling separate contractors on a Croydon refurbishment.
