Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Lambeth. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house renovations across Lambeth, refurbishing period homes from the Georgian terraces of Kennington to the Victorian streets around Brixton. With over 30 years in SE11, SW4 and SW9, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, plastering and structural work, restoring original features while bringing tired layouts up to modern standards.

A full Lambeth refurbishment usually starts with the services that hide behind the walls. In the borough's older Georgian and Victorian stock we rewire throughout, replace ageing pipework, and upgrade heating before a single wall is replastered. Reconfiguring dated layouts often means removing a load-bearing wall with a steel beam signed off by building control. We sequence this structural work first, so the plastering, joinery and decoration that follow sit on a sound, updated shell.
Running a whole house at once, rather than trade by trade, keeps a Lambeth project moving and the budget under control. From Streatham to Vauxhall we programme the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and decoration to follow each other cleanly, with one point of contact throughout. In occupied homes we dust-protect and work in phases so you can stay put where possible, or hand back a completed house room by room.
Lambeth's period houses carry cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, sash windows and cast fireplaces that are worth saving. During renovations around Clapham Common and Brockwell Park we protect and repair these original features rather than strip them out, matching new plaster mouldings to what survives. Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, we respect the constraints Lambeth Council places on external and structural changes and keep the character intact.
Modern comfort and period character can sit together. We improve insulation, ventilation and heating while keeping the proportions that make these SW2 and SE24 homes special. Bathrooms and kitchens are planned to suit the age of the house, and any structural opening up is done with the right steelwork and sign-off. The result is a home that feels true to its era but works for how you live now.
Lambeth owners choose GS Renovation for whole-house work because one team carries the responsibility, from first fix to final decoration. We understand the borough's period stock, its conservation constraints and how to sequence structural work safely. With 30+ years across SE27, SW8 and SW16, we deliver a coordinated, tidy refurbishment with clear pricing and a single point of contact.
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!

Yes. A large share of Lambeth's homes are period, Georgian and listed properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as conservation and listed-building rules, solid walls and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes. Many of our Kennington and Lambeth projects combine full modernisation with careful conservation. We rewire, replumb and reconfigure behind the scenes while protecting cornicing, sash windows, fireplaces and panelled doors. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, we work within Lambeth Council's constraints. Any structural changes get the proper steel beams and building control sign-off, so the house is both original and sound.
