GS Renovation takes on whole-house refurbishments across Shepherd's Bush, breathing new life into tired Victorian and Edwardian terraces and converted flats in W12. With over 30 years in Hammersmith and Fulham, we manage the rewire, the replumb, the replastering and the structural changes as one coordinated programme, so a dated period home works for modern living.
Whole-house refurbishment in Shepherd's Bush
A full renovation of a W12 terrace usually starts with stripping back decades of piecemeal alterations to reveal how the house was originally built. We rewire from the consumer unit, renew the plumbing and heating, and replaster walls and ceilings that generations of damp and settlement have left uneven. Because these homes sit on solid brick with suspended timber floors, we also address any rot, ventilation or damp issues while everything is open and accessible.
Shepherd's Bush terraces carry features worth keeping, cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails, cast fireplaces and panelled doors, and we restore or carefully replicate these rather than lose them. At the same time we reconfigure the layout for the way people live now, often opening up the ground floor and reworking the rear. Any wall we remove is supported on a steel beam sized by an engineer and signed off by building control, so period charm and modern openness sit together.
Managing a full renovation in W12
The difference between a smooth renovation and a stressful one is sequencing, and that matters most in an occupied or tightly packed W12 street. We plan the order of works so structural alterations, first fix services, plastering, the kitchen and bathrooms, then decoration each happen at the right moment without trades tripping over one another. A single project manager coordinates the engineer, electricians, plumbers and joiners, keeping one point of contact for you from start to finish.
Parking, access and neighbours all need managing on a Shepherd's Bush terrace, where skips and deliveries have to fit around a busy residential street and controlled parking. We handle waste, protect shared entrances and keep the site tidy each day. Where the works involve a party wall, such as a chimney removal or a rear opening, we coordinate around the party wall award too. Notifiable electrical and structural work is certified so you finish with a full set of paperwork.
