Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Mayfair. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
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.

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.
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.
A whole-house renovation in Mayfair blends heritage restoration with modern engineering, and juggling both needs a single accountable contractor. GS Renovation sequences structure, services and finishes together, respects listed and conservation constraints, and protects the original features that give your townhouse its value. With 30+ years across W1 and Westminster, we deliver a refurbishment finished to a standard the setting deserves.
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 Mayfair'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.
Internal renovation does not need planning permission, but it is controlled under building regulations, and kitchen and bathroom electrics are notifiable.
