GS Renovation carries out whole-house refurbishments throughout Woolwich, restoring and modernising the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces that fill the SE18 streets. With more than 30 years in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, one team manages the rewiring, replumbing, replastering, structural work and finishes, so the whole house comes together in a single, well sequenced programme.
Full refurbishment of Woolwich period homes
A full renovation of a Woolwich terrace usually starts by stripping back to sound brick and joists, then rewiring and replumbing the whole house to current standards. Older SE18 properties often still have dated wiring, tired pipework and lath and plaster that has seen better days, so we replaster throughout and upgrade the services before any decorating begins. Damp in the closet wing and cold solid walls are common issues we address as part of the works.
Sequencing matters on a job this size. We plan the structural work first, such as any steel beams or knocked-through walls, then first-fix services, plastering, kitchen and bathroom installation, and finally second-fix and decoration. Running it as one continuous programme avoids the delays and finger-pointing that come with separate trades, and it means the plumber, electrician and plasterer are never working against each other in your Woolwich home.
Reconfiguring layouts and restoring features in SE18
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Woolwich were built for a different way of living, with small separate rooms and a cramped rear closet wing. We reconfigure these dated layouts to suit modern life, opening the ground floor into a sociable kitchen-diner, relocating a bathroom upstairs, or turning a loft into an extra bedroom. Where the walls are load-bearing we bring in engineered steel and building control sign-off as part of the wider project.
Many owners of these SE18 homes want to keep the character that makes them special. We can restore or reinstate original features such as cornicing, ceiling roses, panelled doors, cast fireplaces and timber sash windows while the modern services run discreetly behind new plaster. The result balances the warmth of a period house with the comfort, insulation and efficiency you expect from a renovation carried out to today's standards.
