GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Bexleyheath, from compact galley spaces in 1930s semis to open-plan kitchen-diners overlooking gardens near Danson Park. With over 30 years of experience in DA6, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as one coordinated project from start to finish.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Bexleyheath semis
The most popular Bexleyheath kitchen project removes the wall between the original kitchen and the rear reception room to form one bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That interwar dividing wall usually carries load, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, then finish the space so the knock-through reads as one room.
We fit quality units, quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and layered lighting, working with the solid interwar structure and the generous plots common in DA6. Where the wall being removed is shared with next door, we advise on any Party Wall Act notices before the demolition stage begins.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for interwar homes
Many 1930s Bexleyheath kitchens sit in an awkward footprint with a chimney breast, a rear lobby and a door to the side passage. Bespoke, made-to-measure cabinetry uses those quirks rather than fighting them, squaring off the room and building storage into every alcove so the finished kitchen feels twice the size.
We manage the plumbing, the electrics, the tiling and the lighting in-house, and the notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations. From handleless contemporary designs to classic Shaker in-frame units, we build kitchens that suit the age and proportions of a Bexleyheath interwar home while working exactly how you cook.
What we find behind an interwar kitchen
Stripping out a 1930s Bexleyheath kitchen usually reveals three things. The wiring is often a spur off a lighting circuit, or a single socket behind the old cooker, and it will not carry an induction hob and a modern oven, so a dedicated circuit back to the consumer unit is normally part of the job. That work is notifiable and is certified under Part P before the kitchen is signed off as complete, with the certificate handed to you.
The second is the wall itself. Many DA6 kitchens have a solid rear wall with no cavity and no insulation, cold enough to grow mould behind the units, and the strip-out is the only sensible moment to deal with it. The third is the drain to the back gully, frequently a shallow fall in old clay. We check all three before the layout is fixed, so the design suits what the house can actually take rather than what a showroom plan assumes.
