Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Mitcham. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house renovations across Mitcham, bringing tired 1930s semis and interwar terraces in CR4 up to modern standards under one roof. With over 30 years in the Merton area, we rewire, replumb, replaster and reconfigure dated layouts, sequencing every trade so your refurbishment runs as one coordinated project.

A 1930s Mitcham semi that has not been touched in decades usually needs the lot: old wiring replaced, plumbing renewed, walls replastered and a layout that suited 1930s living reworked for how families use a house today. We manage all of it in the right order, so first fix electrics and plumbing go in before plastering, and structural changes like opening up the reception rooms happen before the finishes. One team, one programme, one point of contact.
These interwar houses often keep worthwhile original features, picture rails, panelled doors, decorative plaster and cast fireplaces, and where you want them kept we restore rather than strip them out. Where a wall is load-bearing we bring in a structural engineer and the necessary steel, all signed off by Merton Council building control, so the character stays but the fabric, insulation and services are brought right up to date.
The value in a whole-house renovation is the sequencing, and that is exactly where a piecemeal, trade-by-trade approach falls down. On a Mitcham refurbishment we set out a clear order: strip out, structural work and steelwork first, then first fix services, plastering, second fix, and finally kitchens, bathrooms and decoration. Because one team holds the programme, the plasterer is not waiting on an electrician who has moved to another job.
Living in CR4 while the work happens is easier when the disruption is planned rather than open-ended. We phase the work so key rooms come back into use in a sensible order, keep the site tidy in an occupied home, and coordinate the kitchen and bathroom installs to land at the right point. The outcome is a house that has been renovated as a whole, not a collection of jobs that never quite line up.
Mitcham homeowners choose GS Renovation because a full renovation lives or dies on coordination, and we run every trade under one programme. Rewiring, plumbing, plastering, structural steel and the final finishes are all handled and sequenced by our own team, with building control sign-off where needed. Over 30 years in Merton means fewer surprises and a house that comes together properly.
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!
FAQ
Every Mitcham project is priced on its own merits, as the cost of home renovation varies with the size, specification and condition of the home. We give a clear, itemised quote up front with no obligation. Call 07472 424 226 for an estimate tailored to your property. 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.
Most home renovation projects in Mitcham take between two and eight weeks depending on the scope and whether structural work is involved. We provide a clear programme before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Because we manage every trade in-house, your Mitcham 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 Mitcham clients recommend us.
Most internal home renovations in Mitcham 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.
Yes. A large share of Mitcham's homes are 1930s and interwar properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as cavity walls, regular original layouts and the generous plots that suit extending, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, that is exactly how we prefer to work. We take a Mitcham interwar semi from strip-out through rewiring, replumbing, replastering and any structural steel, then on to kitchen, bathroom and decoration, all sequenced by one team. Internal renovation does not need planning permission, though new electrics are notifiable under building regulations, which we handle as part of the job.
We cover the whole of Mitcham and the CR4 area and the surrounding South West London. If you are nearby and not sure, just call 07472 424 226 and we will tell you straight away.
