GS Renovation takes on whole-house renovations across Morden, breathing new life into tired 1930s semis and interwar houses throughout SM4. Many of these homes still carry their original layouts and dated services. With over 30 years in Merton, we sequence the structural, electrical, plumbing and finishing work under one roof.
Full refurbishment of Morden's 1930s homes
A typical Morden refurbishment starts with the bones. We rewire the house to current standards, replace old plumbing and heating, and replaster walls and ceilings that have cracked or been patched over decades. Interwar semis often have poor insulation and tired windows, so we upgrade the fabric while the walls are open, which keeps the finished house warmer and cheaper to run without spoiling its character.
With the services renewed, we move through the house room by room, reconfiguring the pokey original layout into something that suits modern family life. That might mean opening the ground floor with a steel beam, relocating a bathroom, or turning a small kitchen into an open kitchen-diner. Because one team runs the whole programme, the trades follow each other in the right order with no gaps and no finger-pointing.
Keeping period character in Morden renovations
Plenty of Morden owners want a modern home that still nods to its 1930s roots. Where original features survive, panelled doors, picture rails, bay windows and fireplaces, we restore and reuse them rather than strip them out. New work is detailed to sit comfortably alongside, so the finished house reads as one coherent home rather than a modern box wrapped around an old shell.
Managing everything in the right sequence is what keeps a full renovation on budget. We schedule the structural work first, then first-fix services, plastering, kitchens and bathrooms, and finally decoration, so nothing finished early gets damaged by later trades. Merton building control signs off the notifiable electrical and structural work, and you get one point of contact for the entire project from strip-out to snagging.
