GS Renovation carries out whole-house renovations across South Kensington, restoring and modernising the grand period houses of the museum quarter. With over 30 years of experience in SW7, we manage rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural change as one coordinated programme, honouring the character of Georgian and Regency townhouses throughout.
Whole-house refurbishment in South Kensington
A full refurbishment of a South Kensington townhouse touches every floor, from the lower-ground kitchen to the top-floor bedrooms. We strip back tired services, rewire and replumb to current standards, then replaster and reconfigure dated layouts so the house works for how people actually live, all while keeping the fabric of a period building intact.
One team sequences the whole job, which matters enormously in a tall SW7 house where trades stack up over four or five storeys. Structural work, first fix, plaster, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration follow in the right order, so nothing is undone by the trade that comes next and the programme stays predictable.
Restoring period features in South Kensington homes
The Georgian and Regency houses of South Kensington carry original cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, sash windows and marble fireplaces that give them their value and their charm. Where these survive we repair and reinstate them, and where they have been lost we can match the profiles so a modernised interior still reads as authentic to the age of the house.
Much of SW7 sits within a conservation area and some houses are listed, so we keep alterations sympathetic and route notifiable electrical and structural work through building control. The result blends discreet modern comfort, better insulation, updated services and clever storage, with the period proportions that make a Royal Borough house special.
