Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Tower Hamlets. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house and whole-flat refurbishments throughout Tower Hamlets, from tired Victorian terraces in Bow to warehouse conversions in Wapping and new-build apartments near Canary Wharf. With over 30 years across E1, E2, E3 and E14, one team handles the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and structural work from first strip-out to final decoration.

A full renovation in Tower Hamlets often means dragging a dated layout into modern life while respecting what the building is. In a Bethnal Green or Bow terrace that can mean rewiring and replumbing throughout, replastering walls, and reconfiguring poky rooms into open, usable space, sometimes with a steel beam where a wall comes out. We restore period features such as cornicing, sash windows and fireplaces where they are worth keeping.
In warehouse conversions and riverside flats the priorities shift. Head height, exposed brick and steel, and sound insulation between neighbouring flats all shape what we do. We upgrade services within the constraints of a leasehold building, coordinate with the freeholder and managing agent, and respect building-management rules on working hours and access so the whole block is not disrupted while your home is transformed.
The value in a managed refurbishment is the sequencing. We plan the structural work first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, second fix, kitchen and bathrooms, and finally decoration, so trades never trip over one another. Across E1, E2, E3 and E14 that single point of accountability means you are not chasing separate contractors or discovering that the electrician and the plasterer were never told to talk to each other.
We also handle the compliance quietly in the background. Rewiring and new circuits are notifiable under building regulations, drainage and ventilation changes must meet the rules, and any structural alteration needs building control sign-off. In leasehold flats we keep the freeholder's licence to alter and the managing agent in the loop. You get a coordinated programme, a tidy site and a home that works from top to bottom.
Tower Hamlets homeowners choose GS Renovation because a single, experienced team runs the entire refurbishment, structure, services, finishes and decoration, in the right order. We understand both the solid-wall Victorian terrace and the leasehold conversion, we keep freeholders and building control satisfied, and we bring 30+ years of local building across E1, E2, E3 and E14.
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!

Yes. We regularly refurbish converted flats in Wapping and E1, handling rewiring, replumbing, replastering and reconfiguring the layout as one project.
