Home Renovation Vauxhall

GS Renovation takes on whole-house refurbishments throughout Vauxhall, breathing new life into the Georgian and Regency townhouses and updating the riverside flats of SE11. With over 30 years across South London, we manage the rewiring, replumbing, replastering and reconfiguration with one team, sequencing structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration so the whole project runs to a single plan.

Refurbishing Vauxhall's period townhouses

A full renovation of a Vauxhall townhouse usually means stripping decades of tired alterations back and starting with the essentials, new wiring, new pipework and fresh plaster, before a single finish is chosen. These solid-brick Georgian and Regency homes reward careful work, so we restore the cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors and sash windows where they survive, and reinstate them sympathetically where earlier owners took them out.

Layouts that suited Georgian living rarely suit modern life, so we reconfigure sensibly, often opening the lower ground or rear rooms with a steel beam to create a kitchen-diner while keeping the front rooms formal. Because many of these houses are listed or sit within a Lambeth conservation area, we work within those constraints, and we sequence the trades so plaster, joinery, electrics and decoration all land in the right order.

One team for your Vauxhall renovation

Running a whole-house project in SE11 through a single team avoids the gaps that appear when trades are booked piecemeal. We hold the programme, so the electrician first-fixes before the plasterer, the bathrooms are tanked before they are tiled, and the joinery is measured against finished walls. That coordination matters most in occupied homes, where we keep dust down, protect original floors and staircases, and keep at least part of the house liveable where we can.

For Vauxhall's leasehold riverside flats, a renovation is more about services and finishes than structure, since load-bearing changes are limited and need the freeholder's licence to alter. We coordinate with the managing agent, observe the building's rules on working hours and access, and upgrade the sound insulation between flats where the works allow. The outcome, whether house or flat, is a home that works properly and looks the part throughout.

• Plastering, flooring, painting and decorating
• Loft, floor and wall insulation upgrades
• Kitchen and bathroom design, supply and installation
• Bespoke joinery, wardrobes and fitted storage
