GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens throughout Belgravia, from the lower-ground kitchens of Georgian townhouses to the reworked ground floors of SW1 mews houses. With over 30 years of experience in these period, often listed properties, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work needed as one coordinated project.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Belgravia homes
Many Belgravia owners want to open a compartmentalised lower-ground or rear kitchen into a single sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so the knock-through needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. In these tall townhouses the loads can be considerable, so we prop safely, install padstones and stage the demolition before the steel goes in.
Because townhouse dividing walls often sit within a shared party wall, we check whether Party Wall Act notices are needed before cutting back near a neighbour's structure. Once the opening is formed, we build the new kitchen around it, planning the layout, lighting and ventilation to suit the reduced head height and natural light typical of a Belgravia lower-ground floor.
Bespoke kitchens for period SW1 proportions
Belgravia's Georgian and Regency rooms have tall ceilings, chimney breasts, alcoves and shutters that suit made-to-measure, in-frame cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We design classic Shaker or handleless contemporary kitchens to fit the period proportions, and specify quartz, granite or composite worktops that stand up to daily use while suiting the character of the house.
We integrate appliances neatly, run the plumbing and electrics to current standards with notifiable work signed off, and finish with tiling and considered lighting. On listed properties we plan the installation to protect original fabric and, where needed, confirm whether listed building consent applies before altering any historic feature. The result is a kitchen that belongs in a Belgravia townhouse.
- Tiling, flooring and feature lighting

- Boiler relocation coordinated with a registered heating engineer
- Floor levelling and screeding before the flooring goes down
