Full refurbishments of Richmond period homes

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.

One team sequencing your Richmond renovation

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.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Renovation Richmond upon Thames

How much does home renovation cost in Richmond upon Thames?

We price each Richmond upon Thames project individually, because the cost of home renovation depends on far more than floor area. After a free survey you receive a clear written breakdown with no hidden extras. Call 07472 424 226 or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk. 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.

How long does home renovation take in Richmond upon Thames?

A straightforward Richmond upon Thames project can be done in a couple of weeks, while a larger home renovation with structural work runs longer. We set out a realistic, stage-by-stage programme before we begin so there are no surprises.

Why choose GS Renovation for home renovation in Richmond upon Thames?

Richmond upon Thames homeowners choose GS Renovation for reliability and quality. We are fully insured, building control compliant where needed, and bring over 30 years of hands-on experience to every home renovation project, with a single point of contact throughout.

Do I need planning permission for a home renovation in Richmond upon Thames?

Most internal home renovations in Richmond upon Thames 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.

Do you work on period, Georgian and listed homes in Richmond upon Thames?

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.

Do I need planning permission to renovate the inside of my Richmond period house?

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.

Do you cover all of Richmond upon Thames?

Yes, Richmond upon Thames is one of our core areas. We work on every street and the TW1 area and across the wider South West London, so wherever your home is, call 07472 424 226 and we will confirm we can help.
