Whole-house refurbishment in Merton homes

A full Merton renovation usually means rewiring, replumbing and replastering throughout, because the services in a Victorian or Edwardian terrace are often decades past their best. We sequence the trades so first fix electrics and pipework go in before the walls are closed up, then plaster, second fix and decoration follow in the right order. One team holds the whole programme together.

Reconfiguring the dated layout is where these houses come alive. We open the cramped rear rooms into the closet wing, rework the awkward bathroom that was squeezed in over the years, and rethink how a narrow SW19 terrace flows from front door to garden, all while keeping the building sound and warm.

Restoring period features across the borough

Merton's bay-fronted terraces still hold cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails, panelled doors and original fireplaces worth saving. Where these survive we protect and restore them, and where previous owners stripped them out we can reinstate mouldings that match the age of the house, so a refurbished Wimbledon or Morden home keeps its Victorian or Edwardian character.

Structural changes are woven into the same schedule. If the renovation includes a steel beam knock-through or a new opening, the engineer's design and building control sign-off are handled alongside the kitchen, bathrooms and decoration. That coordination avoids the stop-start delays that come from juggling separate contractors on an occupied Merton house.

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.

How much does home renovation cost in Merton?

We price each Merton project individually, because the cost of home renovation depends on far more than floor area. After a free survey you receive a clear written breakdown with no hidden extras. Call 07472 424 226 or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk. As a rough guide, home renovation in London ranges from roughly £40,000 to £150,000 or more for a full refurbishment (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.

How long does home renovation take in Merton?

How long home renovation takes in Merton depends on the size of the job, but we always agree a programme before starting and stick to it, keeping you informed from the first day to the last.

Why choose GS Renovation for home renovation in Merton?

Because we manage every trade in-house, your Merton project stays consistent and accountable from first fix to finish. Add transparent pricing, full insurance and real aftercare, and it is easy to see why Merton clients recommend us.

Do I need planning permission for a home renovation in Merton?

Most internal home renovations in Merton do not need planning permission, though building regulations apply to structural, electrical and plumbing work. Extensions or external changes may need permission or fall under permitted development. We handle building control and any applications for you.

Do you work on Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes in Merton?

Yes. A large share of Merton's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.

Can you renovate my whole Merton house while keeping the original features?

Yes. On Merton's Victorian and Edwardian terraces we rewire, replumb and replaster while carefully protecting cornicing, fireplaces and panelled doors, and we can reinstate period mouldings where they were lost. Everything is sequenced as one project, so structural work, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration are completed in the right order without competing contractors on site.

Do you cover all of Merton?

We do. GS Renovation covers all of Merton and the SW19 area and the wider South West London. Call 07472 424 226 and we will confirm we work on your road.
