GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Barnes, from the period cottages near the river to the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SW13. With over 30 years in South West London, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural opening as one project, so your new kitchen arrives finished, not left between trades.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Barnes terraces
The classic Barnes kitchen project opens the rear of a Victorian terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception to make one bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and often infill the side return to widen the footprint. The dark back room becomes the heart of the house.
Into that new space we fit the kitchen properly. Bespoke or quality fitted units are planned around the room, topped with quartz, granite or composite worktops chosen to suit the home. Appliances are integrated, the plumbing and notifiable electrics are run and tested, and we tile, light and finish throughout. Where the wall we remove is shared with a neighbour in an SW13 terrace, we serve the party wall notices before any steel goes in.
Bespoke kitchens for Barnes period proportions
Barnes homes come with alcoves, chimney breasts and the tall ceilings of the Victorian and Edwardian era, which suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than off-the-shelf units. We design in-frame or handleless kitchens to fit the exact proportions of your room, using the awkward recesses of a closet wing rather than fighting them. Whether the style is a classic Shaker or a sleek contemporary run, the kitchen is built for the house.
A kitchen refit inside the existing footprint does not need planning permission, so most Barnes projects move straight to design and build. We handle the lot in-house, from moving the plumbing and adding sockets and lighting circuits, to tiling, splashbacks and final decoration. New electrical work is tested and certified under building regulations. You get considered task and ambient lighting, integrated appliances and a hard-wearing finish, delivered by one team on a clear timetable.
