GS Renovation takes on whole-house and whole-flat renovations across Hackney, from tired warehouse conversions in Shoreditch to characterful period homes near Stoke Newington. With over 30 years working in N1, N16, E5 and E8, one team manages the structure, services, plastering and finishes, so your refurbishment runs to a single plan and a single point of contact.
Refurbishing Hackney conversions and apartments
Many of Hackney's warehouse conversions were fitted out quickly and now feel dated, with dark layouts and services nearing the end of their life. We strip back, rewire and replumb, then reconfigure the space to suit how you live, respecting the exposed brick, steel and tall windows that give these buildings their character. Because you are usually a leaseholder, we coordinate with the managing agent and observe the building's working hours and access rules.
Sound insulation between flats is central to any renovation here, so we upgrade floors and walls to meet building regulations while keeping the industrial feel. We sequence the trades carefully, running electrics and plumbing before plastering, then tiling, joinery and decoration, so the flat is only disturbed once. Notifiable electrical work is certified under the building regulations, and everything is left tested, finished and ready to live in.
Whole-house renovation in Hackney terraces
In the borough's Victorian terraces around Victoria Park and London Fields, a full renovation is the moment to put right decades of piecemeal work. We rewire and replumb throughout, replaster walls, and open up dated layouts, often with a steel beam to link the kitchen and rear reception. Where original cornicing, joinery and fireplaces survive, we restore rather than remove them, keeping the period character these E9 and E5 homes are valued for.
Managing everything under one roof means the structural work, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration are properly sequenced instead of clashing. We start with any steel and groundwork, move through first-fix services and plastering, then fit kitchens and bathrooms before final decoration. Any load-bearing changes go through building control, and where a party wall is involved you serve the right notices, so the whole terrace project stays coordinated and compliant from start to finish.
