GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Stanmore, bringing the substantial 1930s and interwar homes of HA7 up to modern standards while keeping the character that suits the area. With over 30 years in Harrow and North West London, one accountable team sequences the structural work, the services, the wet rooms and the decoration from start to finish.
Whole-house refurbishment across Stanmore
A full renovation of a Stanmore interwar house usually means stripping back to the structure, then rewiring and replumbing throughout before anything is closed up. Original wiring and pipework in these homes is often long past its useful life, so we replace it, upgrade the consumer unit and re-run the heating to suit a modern layout. Replastering follows, giving clean, sound surfaces for decoration and a warmer, better insulated home once complete.
Interwar houses were planned for a different way of living, with small, separate rooms and narrow hallways. We reconfigure dated layouts to open up the ground floor, often removing a load-bearing wall with a steel beam signed off by building control. Where the house retains features worth keeping, such as picture rails, bay windows or original doors, we restore them so the finished home feels updated without losing its 1930s Stanmore roots.
One team sequencing your Stanmore project
The value of a managed renovation is the order things happen in. We plan the sequence so structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, kitchen and bathroom installation, flooring and decoration each follow at the right time, without trades tripping over one another. On a larger Stanmore house that might run for several weeks, so we keep a clear programme and update you as each stage completes.
Because we run the whole job in-house, you deal with one point of contact rather than chasing separate contractors across HA7. That matters when work uncovers the quirks common in interwar homes, from old chimney flues to uneven original floors. We protect the parts of the house still in use, keep the site tidy and coordinate any building control inspections, so the project stays on track from the first strip-out to the final coat of paint.
