GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Bloomsbury, from the tall Georgian townhouses of the garden squares to the leasehold flats in WC1's mansion blocks. With over 30 years of experience in Camden, we handle cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as one project, tailored to the proportions of a period home.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Bloomsbury townhouses
A favourite Bloomsbury project opens the lower-ground floor of a townhouse into a single kitchen-diner, or links the rear kitchen to the room behind it. 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. We often pair this with better use of the garden-level light, creating a sociable space at the heart of a home that was originally cellular and dark.
Where the wall is shared with a neighbour, a party wall notice comes first, and in a listed Bloomsbury home the work may also need listed building consent. Around the structure we fit the kitchen itself, with quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, considered lighting and tiling, all installed by our own team. Kitchen electrics and any new circuits are notifiable under building regulations, and we certify that work as part of the job.
Bespoke kitchens for Bloomsbury period proportions
The Georgian and Regency rooms of Bloomsbury come with alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that rarely suit off-the-shelf units. Made-to-measure, in-frame cabinetry fits these proportions properly, filling awkward recesses and making the most of the height. Whether you want a classic Shaker kitchen that sits comfortably in a period townhouse or a sleek handleless design, we build to match the age and character of the room rather than fighting against it.
In a Bloomsbury mansion flat the kitchen is often compact and hemmed in by the building's structure, with little scope to move walls under the lease. Here the skill is planning a layout that uses every centimetre, keeping plumbing runs sensible and ventilation effective. We coordinate with the freeholder and managing agent where the lease requires it, respect the block's rules on noise and working hours, and deliver a hard-working kitchen without touching the structure.
