GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Kew, where the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of TW9 often need rewiring, replumbing and reconfiguring after decades of piecemeal changes. With over 30 years in Richmond upon Thames, one team sequences the structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration so your period home is transformed without endless overlapping trades.
Full refurbishment of Kew period homes
A Kew terrace that has not been touched in years usually needs the same core work: a full rewire, new plumbing and heating, fresh plaster on tired walls, and a layout that suits how people actually live now. We strip back, put right the things that hide behind the finishes, and reconfigure dated arrangements, opening up ground floors or relocating a cramped bathroom, before the new kitchen and bathrooms go in.
Managing all of this as one project is where the value lies. We sequence the structural alterations first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, second-fix, tiling and joinery, and finally decoration, so trades follow in the right order rather than clashing. You deal with one accountable team throughout, and the house comes back together cleanly rather than in disconnected, half-finished stages.
Restoring original features in TW9
Kew's Victorian and Edwardian houses carry the details worth keeping: cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, cast-iron fireplaces, sash windows and encaustic hall tiles. Where these survive, we protect and restore them, matching new plaster mouldings to original profiles and repairing rather than ripping out. A sympathetic renovation keeps the soul of the house while quietly bringing the services and insulation up to modern standards behind the scenes.
Balancing period character with comfort is the everyday reality of TW9 renovation. We improve insulation, upgrade the heating and address damp in solid-wall construction without stripping the house of what makes it a Kew home. Where we open up load-bearing walls as part of the works, the engineer sizes the steel and Richmond Council building control signs it off, so the structural side is handled properly within the wider refurbishment.
