GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments throughout Notting Hill, from stucco-fronted terraces near Portobello Road to converted townhouses towards Holland Park. With over 30 years across W11 and the wider Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, one team rewires, replumbs, replasters and reconfigures your Georgian or Regency home while protecting the features that make it worth keeping.
Full refurbishment of Notting Hill townhouses
A Georgian or Regency townhouse in W11 usually needs its services brought up to date behind the period face. We rewire the whole house, replace ageing pipework, and replaster where old lath and plaster has failed, sequencing the messy first-fix work before decoration so nothing is disturbed twice. On four and five-storey homes we plan the works floor by floor to keep an occupied house liveable where possible.
Layouts that suited a different era rarely suit modern life, so we reconfigure dated arrangements, combining rooms, relocating bathrooms, and opening kitchens where the structure allows. Any load-bearing change means a steel beam designed by an engineer and passed by building control. Managing structure, services and finishes as one project stops the delays that come from stitching together separate trades on a complex period property.
Restoring period features in W11
Notting Hill's appeal is in its detail, and we protect and restore the cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, shutters and fireplaces that give these houses their character. Where original joinery or plaster mouldings survive, we repair rather than replace, and match new work to the existing profiles so a refurbished room still reads as a period interior rather than a modern box.
Many W11 homes are listed or in a conservation area, so external and character-affecting work can need consent from the council, and we advise on that before starting. Inside, we balance restoration with the insulation, heating and lighting a comfortable home needs today. The aim is a house that feels contemporary to live in while keeping the fabric and proportions the Royal Borough is known for.
