Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Pimlico. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation refurbishes whole homes across Pimlico, breathing new life into the Georgian and Regency townhouses of SW1 while respecting the features that give them character. With over 30 years in Westminster's period and listed stock, we sequence structural work, rewiring, replumbing, plastering, kitchens and bathrooms under a single team from start to finish.

A full Pimlico refurbishment usually means bringing a tall period townhouse up to modern standards across several floors at once. We strip back to the structure where needed, rewire and replumb the whole house, and replace tired services that were often patched over many decades. Reconfiguring dated layouts, opening cellular rooms and improving the flow between floors is where these Regency terraces gain the most, always with the structure properly supported.
Living in SW1 close to the West End and Oxford Street, our clients expect a clean, well-run site even in an occupied home. We plan the works in a logical order, structure first, then services, plastering, joinery and decoration, so trades are not tripping over one another. One project manager keeps the whole refurbishment coordinated, which matters in a period house where surprises behind the plaster are common.
Pimlico's Georgian and Regency houses carry cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, shutters and cast-iron fireplaces that are central to their appeal and, in listed homes, often protected. We restore and repair these features rather than strip them out, matching mouldings and plaster profiles so new work sits invisibly alongside the original. Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, we keep interventions sympathetic and reversible.
Modernising a period Pimlico home is about balance, adding proper heating, insulation, wiring and comfortable bathrooms without erasing the fabric that makes the house what it is. We upgrade the services discreetly, route new pipework and cabling to avoid damaging original joinery, and finish with plaster and paint that suit the age of the building. The result reads as a considered restoration, not a gutted shell filled with generic fittings.
Renovating a Pimlico townhouse rewards one coordinated team over a string of separate trades. GS Renovation manages structure, services, plastering, joinery and decoration together, restoring period features and respecting listed and conservation constraints along the way. With 30+ years in Westminster's Georgian stock, transparent pricing and tidy working in occupied homes, we deliver a whole-house refurbishment done properly the first time.
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 Pimlico'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.
Yes, that is our approach. We rewire, replumb, replaster and reconfigure the layout while carefully restoring cornicing, fireplaces, shutters and joinery rather than removing them. In listed and conservation-area homes, which are common in Pimlico, we keep the work sympathetic and reversible. Internal renovation does not need planning permission, though the new electrics and any structural changes are notifiable under building regulations, which we handle.
