GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments across Wimbledon, taking tired Victorian and Edwardian terraces in SW19 and bringing them fully up to date with one managed team. With over 30 years working on Merton's period homes, we rewire, replumb, replaster and reconfigure while protecting the features that give these houses their character.
Reconfiguring dated layouts in Wimbledon homes
Many Wimbledon terraces still carry a Victorian floor plan of small, separate rooms, a rear closet wing and a cramped kitchen tucked at the back. A full renovation is the chance to rethink that layout, opening the ground floor into a sociable living and dining space, relocating a bathroom off a landing, or reworking the closet wing into a usable utility or shower room that actually suits how families live today.
Where structural walls come out we bring in engineer-sized steel and building control sign-off, sequencing that work first so everything else follows cleanly. Upstairs we look at bedroom proportions and loft potential. The aim across these SW19 homes is a layout that feels generous and modern while respecting the original scale and proportions of the terrace.
Restoring period features across SW19
A sympathetic Wimbledon renovation keeps what makes the house special. We repair and reinstate cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails, panelled doors, cast fireplaces and the deep skirtings common in these Victorian and Edwardian terraces, replacing only what is genuinely beyond saving. Original sash windows and tiled hallways are restored where possible rather than stripped out, so the home keeps its period soul.
Behind the plaster we bring everything up to standard, with a full rewire, new pipework, modern heating and insulation improvements where the solid-wall construction allows. One team sequences the structural work, first and second fix, plastering, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration in the right order, so trades are not tripping over each other and the project runs to a clear, predictable programme.
