GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Angel and N1, from Georgian townhouses off Upper Street to converted flats near the Angel. With over 30 years in Islington, we handle cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any steel beam knock-through as one project, tailoring each kitchen to the proportions of your period home.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Angel terraces
The most requested kitchen project in Angel opens the rear of a period terrace, knocking through to the middle room to make a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. Because that dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, propping temporarily and demolishing in stages so the solid-wall structure above stays fully supported throughout.
Once the space is open we fit the new kitchen around the reconfigured layout, choosing worktops in quartz, granite or composite to suit how you cook and entertain. Integrated appliances, considered lighting, tiling and the plumbing and electrics are all handled in-house. Where the terrace shares a party wall, we serve the required notices before cutting into shared brickwork for the beam.
Bespoke kitchens for N1 period proportions
Angel's Georgian and Regency homes have alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that suit made-to-measure cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We plan the layout around these period features, using the height for tall storage and fitting neatly into awkward recesses so the finished kitchen looks built for the room. In lower-ground kitchens common in N1 townhouses, we design around reduced head height and limited natural light.
From handleless contemporary designs to classic in-frame Shaker styles, we build to match the age and character of the house. Ventilation, worktop stone, splashbacks and under-cabinet lighting are all specified to work together. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, which we handle as part of the job, so your Angel kitchen is safe, certified and finished to a high standard.
