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.
Full refurbishments of Lambeth period homes
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.
Restoring period character in Lambeth homes
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.
