GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Hammersmith, breathing new life into the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces that define W6. With over 30 years of experience, one team rewires, replumbs, replasters and reconfigures these period homes, sequencing the structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration so the whole house comes together properly.
Full refurbishment of Hammersmith period homes
A full renovation of a W6 terrace usually means stripping back to the structure, upgrading services that were last touched decades ago, and rethinking a layout that no longer suits modern living. We rewire throughout, replace tired plumbing and heating, and replaster where the old lime and gypsum has failed, all while protecting the parts of the house worth keeping.
Sequencing is everything on an occupied or empty terrace. We plan the trades in the right order so first fix electrics and plumbing go in before plastering, and the kitchen and bathrooms follow once the shell is sound. Managing it as one project avoids the gaps and finger-pointing that happen when a homeowner tries to coordinate separate contractors themselves.
Restoring period features in Hammersmith terraces
Many Hammersmith houses still have cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails, panelled doors and cast-iron fireplaces worth restoring. Where these original features survive, we repair and reinstate them rather than strip them out, so the house keeps the character that makes W6 terraces so sought after near the Thames and Bishops Park.
At the same time we bring the house up to modern standards, opening dark middle rooms with steel beams, improving insulation where the solid walls allow, and reconfiguring cramped rear layouts. Balancing period restoration with contemporary comfort is the heart of a good terraced renovation, and it is where 30 years of hands-on experience with this housing stock really shows.
