Full refurbishments and whole-house renovations in Westminster. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Westminster, from Regency townhouses in Belgravia to period mansion flats in Marylebone and Pimlico. With over 30 years in W1, W2, SW1, WC2, NW8 and W9, we manage rewiring, replumbing, replastering and reconfiguring dated layouts with a single team, restoring period features while bringing tired interiors up to date.

A full renovation of a Westminster townhouse runs across several floors, and sequencing is everything. We strip back, rewire and replumb the whole house, then replaster and reconfigure layouts that no longer suit modern living, opening cramped lower-ground floors or reworking a warren of small rooms into generous spaces. Where a wall comes out, our engineer sizes the steel and building control signs it off.
These Georgian and Regency homes carry original cornicing, joinery, fireplaces and staircases that give the borough its character. In conservation areas and listed properties across SW1 and W1, we restore and protect those features rather than lose them, matching mouldings and reinstating detail so the finished house reads as authentically period while working as a comfortable modern home.
The value of one team shows most on a large refurbishment. We sequence structural work, first-fix services, plastering, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration so trades follow each other cleanly rather than clashing. On a Paddington or Marylebone project that might run several months, that coordination keeps the programme tight and the site tidy, which matters when the house sits on a busy Westminster street.
For mansion flats in NW8 and W9, refurbishment works within leasehold rules. We coordinate with the freeholder and managing agent, respect building-management hours and access, and pay close attention to sound insulation between flats when floors come up. Every notifiable electrical and plumbing change is carried out to building regulations and certified, so your renovation is compliant as well as beautifully finished.
Westminster homeowners choose GS Renovation because a whole-house refurbishment needs one accountable team, not a string of separate trades. We handle structure, services, plaster, joinery and finish together, protect period detail in listed and conservation-area homes, and work cleanly in occupied streets. Thirty years across the borough means the sequencing, the compliance and the craftsmanship are all in hand.

FAQ
As accurate as the information behind it. A home renovation figure given over the phone for a Westminster home will move; one written after we have looked carefully at the W1 property usually does not. GS Renovation allows for the making good that period, Georgian and listed construction demands, and shows the Westminster City Council element separately. That is why our Westminster quotations tend to hold. Ring 07472 424 226 to book the free survey at your W1 address. 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.
Consents and access rather than the building work. A Westminster renovation commonly involves a leasehold interest, a landlord's licence, a heritage constraint and a street with controlled parking, and each carries its own lead time. The construction is often the shorter part. We establish the consent route at survey and sequences the trades around it, because a programme built on the works alone will slip on the paperwork.
Yes, and it is the normal arrangement rather than the exception. Most Westminster homes sit in blocks or converted houses with shared entrances, so the work is planned around neighbours from the start. Hours are agreed with the managing agent, communal parts are protected and cleaned daily, and deliveries are timed so the stair and the lift stay usable. The state of the shared areas at handover is part of the job.
Frequently yes, because more is notifiable than owners expect. Rewiring falls under Part P, a new bathroom brings drainage and ventilation with it, replacement windows and insulation engage the energy requirements, and any alteration to a stair or an escape route engages fire safety. A Westminster renovation touching several of those needs an application even where no wall moves. GS Renovation makes it and coordinates the inspections.
The lease and the title, before any drawing is produced. In Westminster the right to alter, the responsibility for the windows and the ownership of the roof or the vault beneath the pavement are frequently not what an owner assumes. Establishing that first prevents a design that cannot be consented. We ask for those documents at survey, and where they are unclear our honest advice is to resolve them before you spend on drawings.
