Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Richmond upon Thames. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Richmond upon Thames, bringing tired Georgian townhouses and Victorian family homes up to modern standards without losing their character. With over 30 years in TW9, TW10, TW11 and the surrounding postcodes, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural work, sequencing every trade so the project runs to a single plan.

A full renovation of a Richmond period home usually starts with stripping back to reveal what decades of piecemeal work left behind, from perished wiring to lead pipework and failing lime plaster. We rewire and replumb the whole house, upgrade the consumer unit and heating, and replaster where needed. Because these are older, often listed properties, we work sympathetically, keeping cornices, ceiling roses, sash windows and fireplaces that give the borough's houses their value.
Dated layouts are a common frustration in Richmond's townhouses, where narrow kitchens and small rooms no longer suit family life. We reconfigure the plan, removing load-bearing walls with properly sized steel beams and building control sign-off, then rebuild around a layout that works. Restoring period features sits alongside modern insulation, wiring and bathrooms, so the finished house feels right for its age while performing like a contemporary home.
The value of a managed renovation is sequence. On a Richmond project we plan the order carefully, so structural work and first-fix wiring and plumbing happen before plastering, and kitchens, bathrooms and decoration follow in the right order rather than clashing on site. This avoids the delays and cost that come from separate trades working in isolation, a frequent problem when homeowners try to coordinate builders, electricians and plumbers themselves.
We run the whole programme from one point of contact, coordinating trades across TW1, TW9 and TW10 so an occupied or empty house progresses smoothly. Where the property is listed or in a conservation area, we handle any consents before altering the fabric. Internal renovation work does not need planning permission, though electrics and any structural changes are notifiable under building regulations, and we arrange every inspection as the job moves forward.
Richmond homeowners choose GS Renovation for whole-house work because coordinating a period refurbishment is exactly where one accountable team pays off. We sequence structure, services, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration under a single plan, respect the character of the borough's older homes and keep the site tidy. With 30+ years across Richmond upon Thames, you get clear pricing and a dependable finish.
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!

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.

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 Richmond upon Thames'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.
Internal renovations do not need planning permission, so rewiring, replumbing, replastering and reconfiguring rooms can proceed freely. However, removing load-bearing walls needs building regulations approval, and new electrics in kitchens and bathrooms are notifiable under building regs. If your Richmond home is listed, listed building consent may be required even for internal changes, so we check the status before we start.
