GS Renovation takes on whole-house refurbishments across Soho and the wider W1 area, breathing new life into the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces and upper-floor apartments that fill these streets. With over 30 years in Westminster, we run the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural work as one coordinated project, so you have a single team from strip-out to snagging.
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.
