GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Addiscombe, working within the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of CR0 and their tight rear closet wings. With more than 30 years in Croydon we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through together, so the whole kitchen is delivered by one team.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Addiscombe terraces
The most popular kitchen project in Addiscombe opens the cramped closet-wing kitchen through into the middle reception, creating a bright kitchen-diner that suits family life. Because that dividing wall carries the floor above, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and often widen the room further by filling in the side return.
With the space opened up, we plan the layout around the light from the garden and the new rooflights. We fit quality units, integrate the appliances, run the plumbing and electrics, and finish with tiling and lighting. The kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so the wiring is certified. It is a knock-through and a new kitchen delivered as a single job.
Bespoke kitchens for CR0 period proportions
The chimney breasts, alcoves and tall skirtings of an Addiscombe terrace do not suit a run of standard flat-pack units. We plan bespoke and fitted kitchens around these features, scribing cabinets to uneven period walls and using the alcoves either side of the breast for tall storage or a dresser run rather than leaving awkward gaps.
Worktops set the tone, and we fit quartz, granite or composite to suit the design and the way the kitchen is used, templated precisely once the units are in. Whether the look is a classic Shaker in keeping with the age of the house or a handleless contemporary scheme, the plumbing, wiring, tiling and lighting are all handled in-house across CR0.
