GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Lewisham, breathing new life into the tired Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Deptford, Catford and Forest Hill. With 30+ years in SE8, SE14 and SE23, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural work, so a dated period home becomes a warm, modern family house.
Full refurbishment of Lewisham period homes
Many Lewisham terraces still carry decades of piecemeal work, tired wiring, cold single-glazed windows, damp in the closet wing and a warren of small rooms. We take the house back to a sound base, renew the electrics and plumbing, treat damp, insulate where we can, and replaster throughout. Working room by room, or clearing the whole house at once, we bring everything up to current standards under a single, coordinated programme.
Layouts designed for Victorian life rarely suit a modern family. We reconfigure the ground floor to open living space, relocate a bathroom that was tacked onto the back, and rethink how the closet wing is used. Where walls come out we bring in steel beams and building control, and where original features survive, cornicing, ceiling roses, cast-iron fireplaces and panelled doors, we restore and keep them, so the house feels modern without losing its Lewisham character.
One team managing your Lewisham renovation
The risk on a big refurbishment is a string of separate trades who never quite join up. GS Renovation runs the whole job with one point of contact, sequencing the structural work first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, and finally the kitchen, bathrooms, joinery and decoration. On a terraced street in SE6 or SE13 that also means managing access, deliveries and skips considerately, keeping the site tidy and your neighbours onside.
Because we hold the whole programme, decisions get made quickly and money is not wasted on trades waiting on each other. Notifiable work, such as the new consumer unit and circuits, and any drainage changes, is registered and signed off under building regulations. Whether you are staying put through the works or renovating a newly bought home near Telegraph Hill before you move in, you get a clear schedule and one company answerable for the result.
