GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Becontree, from the classic 1930s semis of the estate to the wider interwar homes towards Chadwell Heath. The original galley kitchens in these RM8 houses are often small and separate, and with 30+ years in Barking and Dagenham we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work as one job.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Becontree semis
The most popular Becontree kitchen project knocks the original rear kitchen through to the dining room or breakfast space, creating one bright open-plan kitchen-diner across the back of the interwar semi. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control before a single unit goes in.
With the wall gone we lay out the new kitchen to suit family life, running cabinets and an island across the widened footprint that Becontree's generous plots allow. We fit quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrate the appliances, and handle the plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting so the finished RM8 kitchen works as a proper sociable heart of the home.
Bespoke and fitted kitchens in RM8
Not every Becontree kitchen needs a wall down. Where the layout works, we fit a well-planned kitchen into the existing room, using bespoke or quality fitted units to make the most of the space the 1930s builders left, including the awkward corners and the run under the rear window that these interwar houses so often have.
From handleless modern designs to classic Shaker doors, we build to suit the age and feel of the house. The kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, and we handle that certification along with the plumbing and gas connections, so your new RM8 kitchen is safe, compliant and finished to a standard that lasts across years of daily use.
