GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Wandsworth, bringing tired mansion flats and period homes in SW8, SW11 and SW15 back to life with one managed team.

Full refurbishment of Wandsworth period flats

A whole-house renovation in a Wandsworth mansion flat usually starts with rewiring and replumbing, because the original services in these SW12 and SW18 blocks are often decades past their best. We replace the consumer unit, run new circuits, upgrade the pipework and improve sound insulation between floors, all while keeping to the building-management rules on noise, access and protection of communal areas that leasehold ownership brings.

From there we reconfigure dated layouts, opening a cramped hallway or combining a small kitchen and dining room where the structure allows. We replaster throughout, restore period features such as cornicing, panelled doors and fireplaces where they survive, and bring the flat up to modern standards of warmth and finish. One project manager keeps the trades in the right order so you are never left with a half-finished home.

Sequencing structural and finishing trades in Wandsworth

The value of a single team shows most on a full Wandsworth refurbishment, where structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration all have to happen in the right sequence. We front-load the disruptive elements, any steel beams, first-fix electrics and plumbing, and pressure-testing, before plastering and second fix, so nothing finished has to be reopened later. That planning matters in occupied SW11 and SW17 flats where you may be living around the works.

We coordinate deliveries carefully in blocks with shared entrances and limited parking, and protect stair carpets, lifts and landings as materials move through. Kitchens and bathrooms are timed so tiling, worktops and appliances land after the wet trades are complete, and decoration finishes the job. The result is a home renovated to a consistent standard, delivered by one accountable contractor rather than a string of separate trades.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Renovation Wandsworth

How much does home renovation cost in Wandsworth?

There is no fixed price for home renovation in Wandsworth, because so much depends on your property and what you want to achieve. We survey first, then provide a transparent written quotation. Contact GS Renovation on 07472 424 226 for a free estimate. As a rough guide, home renovation in London ranges from roughly £40,000 to £150,000 or more for a full refurbishment (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.

How long does home renovation take in Wandsworth?

Most home renovation projects in Wandsworth take between two and eight weeks depending on the scope and whether structural work is involved. We provide a clear programme before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Why choose GS Renovation for home renovation in Wandsworth?

Because we manage every trade in-house, your Wandsworth project stays consistent and accountable from first fix to finish. Add transparent pricing, full insurance and real aftercare, and it is easy to see why Wandsworth clients recommend us.

Do I need planning permission for a home renovation in Wandsworth?

Most internal home renovations in Wandsworth do not need planning permission, though building regulations apply to structural, electrical and plumbing work. Extensions or external changes may need permission or fall under permitted development. We handle building control and any applications for you.

Do you work on mansion-block and period-flat homes in Wandsworth?

Yes. A large share of Wandsworth's homes are mansion-block and period-flat properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each home renovation around their particular characteristics, such as leasehold consents, shared structure and sound insulation between flats, so the result suits the building and meets building control.

Can you renovate my whole Wandsworth flat while I keep living in it?

Often yes, though it depends on the layout and the scope. On larger jobs many owners move out for the most disruptive weeks. Where you stay, we phase the work room by room, keep a bathroom and kitchen usable as long as possible, and protect communal areas to satisfy the managing agent. Internal renovation does not need planning permission, though the electrics are notifiable under building regulations.

Do you cover all of Wandsworth?

We do. GS Renovation covers all of Wandsworth and the SW8 area and the wider South West London. Call 07472 424 226 and we will confirm we work on your road.
