GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Mayfair, restoring and modernising the Georgian and Regency townhouses that define W1. With over 30 years of experience in Westminster, we manage rewiring, replumbing, replastering, structural work and finishes as one continuous project, keeping the period character while bringing the services up to modern standards.
Whole-house refurbishment in Mayfair townhouses
A full renovation of a Mayfair townhouse touches every floor, from the lower-ground kitchen to the roof, and usually means stripping back tired services installed decades ago. We rewire, replumb and replaster throughout, reconfigure dated layouts to suit modern living, and address the damp and ventilation issues common in solid-walled period homes. All of it is sequenced so trades follow one another cleanly rather than clashing on site.
Many of these homes retain original cornices, fireplaces, panelling and staircases, and where they survive we protect and restore them rather than strip them out. Because a large share of Mayfair is listed, we work within Westminster City Council's consent rules and use appropriate materials and methods. Internal refurbishment is governed by building regulations, with kitchen and bathroom electrics notifiable, and we handle every certificate along the way.
Restoring period features across Mayfair
Mayfair's Georgian interiors were built with lime plaster, timber sash windows and fine joinery, and a sympathetic renovation keeps faith with those materials. We repair rather than replace where we can, matching mouldings and skirtings to the originals and easing sashes back into working order. Modern comforts such as heating, insulation and lighting are integrated discreetly so the rooms feel authentic rather than over-restored.
Coordinating a project of this size in occupied W1 streets near Marylebone and Soho demands tight programme management. We run the structural work, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration to a single timeline, holding one point of contact throughout so you always know what is happening and when. The result is a townhouse that reads as historic but performs like a genuinely modern home.
