Full refurbishments of Soho period homes

A full renovation is the moment to fix everything a Soho terrace has accumulated over a century: tired wiring, lead or failing pipework, damp in solid walls and layouts that no longer suit modern living. We strip back to the structure, deal with any movement or decay, then rebuild with new services, insulation and plaster. Sequencing matters, so we schedule the first fix, structural changes and second fix in the right order to avoid costly rework.

These houses have features worth keeping. Where the cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, fireplaces and sash windows survive, we restore and protect them, and we can reinstate details that earlier owners stripped out. At the same time we reconfigure the plan, opening reception rooms, relocating a dated bathroom or turning the rear closet wing into usable space. The result respects the age of the Soho property while working for how you actually live today.

One team for your Soho renovation

Running a whole-house project through separate trades usually ends in gaps, delays and finger-pointing. We keep the electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners and decorators under one roof, coordinated by a single point of contact who knows the whole plan. That is especially valuable in Soho, where an upper-floor apartment or occupied flat leaves little room for error and every delivery has to be timed around narrow access and Westminster parking rules.

We also fold the kitchen, bathrooms and any steel beam work into the same programme, so the structural stage, the wet trades and the decoration follow one continuous timeline instead of stalling between contractors. Rewiring is signed off under building regulations, notifiable electrical work is certified, and you receive the paperwork at completion. If you live in a leasehold flat, we coordinate with the managing agent and any freeholder's licence to alter as well.

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!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Renovation Soho

How much does home renovation cost in Soho?

Pricing home renovation in Soho comes down to the size of the job, the specification you choose and the condition of the property. Rather than guess, we survey and give you a fixed, itemised quote you can rely on. Call 07472 424 226. 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 Soho?

We will give you an honest timescale for home renovation in Soho after surveying your home. Most projects run on a clear weekly programme, and we tell you up front about any lead times on materials or approvals.

Why choose GS Renovation for home renovation in Soho?

GS Renovation's team brings over 30 years of hands-on experience to home renovation and wider building work across Soho and the surrounding area. We offer free quotes, a dedicated project manager, full insurance, building control compliance where required, and comprehensive aftercare.

Do I need planning permission for a home renovation in Soho?

Most internal home renovations in Soho 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 Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes in Soho?

Yes. A large share of Soho's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.

Do I need planning permission for a full internal renovation in Soho?

Internal renovation work such as rewiring, replumbing, replastering and reconfiguring rooms does not need planning permission. It is covered by building regulations, and notifiable electrical and structural work must be signed off by building control. If your Soho home is listed, though, internal changes can need listed building consent, so we check the property's status before we start.

Do you cover all of Soho?

We cover the whole of Soho and the W1 area and the surrounding Central London. If you are nearby and not sure, just call 07472 424 226 and we will tell you straight away.
