GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Golders Green, breathing new life into the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of NW11. With over 30 years of experience in North London, our one team rewires, replumbs, replasters and reconfigures tired layouts while protecting the period character these homes are known for.
Refurbishing period terraces in Golders Green
Many NW11 houses still have dated wiring, tired plumbing and small, closed-off rooms that no longer suit modern family life. A full renovation lets us strip back, rewire to current standards, replace the plumbing and heating, and replaster throughout in one coordinated programme. Because these are solid-wall homes, we plan insulation, damp treatment and ventilation carefully so the fabric of the house stays healthy for decades.
Restoring character matters as much as modernising. Golders Green terraces often keep original cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails and cast fireplaces, and we retain and repair these wherever we can. New elements, from skirtings to internal doors, are chosen to sit comfortably alongside the old. The aim is a home that feels contemporary and comfortable to live in without losing the Victorian and Edwardian detail that gives it its charm.
One team managing your Golders Green project
A whole-house refurbishment involves trades in the right order, and getting that sequence wrong costs time and money. We handle structural work first, such as any steel beams or wall removals, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, and finally kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and decoration. Having one team run the lot means you deal with a single point of contact rather than juggling separate contractors across a live building site.
Structural, electrical and gas work all fall under building regulations, and we make sure the notifiable elements are inspected and certified. Whether you are renovating a home to move into near Brent Cross or updating a long-held family house close to Hampstead Garden Suburb, we work tidily, protect what stays, and keep you informed at each stage. The finished result is a fully modernised terrace ready for the next thirty years.
