Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Bow. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens throughout Bow, tailoring each one to the E3 area's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years of experience, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through as one project, turning cramped rear kitchens into the bright, open spaces these period homes are crying out for.

The most popular kitchen project in Bow opens the rear of the terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception or out into the side return to create a sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is nearly always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. The result is one flowing space where a dark galley and a spare back room used to be.
Around the structure we fit the kitchen itself: quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, new plumbing and electrics, tiling and layered lighting. We plan the layout around the quirks of a Bow terrace, the chimney breast, the closet wing and the reduced ceiling height at the rear, so the finished kitchen feels considered rather than squeezed in. Notifiable electrical work is certified under the Building Regulations as part of the job.
Bow's Victorian and Edwardian houses come with alcoves, chimney breasts and tall proportions that rarely suit off-the-shelf runs of units. We plan made-to-measure cabinetry that uses every awkward recess, whether you want a handleless contemporary look or a classic in-frame Shaker kitchen that nods to the age of the house. Careful design means storage where you need it and clean lines where standard units would leave gaps.
We coordinate the trades so the kitchen arrives as a finished room, not a series of visits. Plumbing for the sink and any island, electrics for appliances and lighting, worktop templating, splashback tiling and final decoration all sequence together. For E3 homeowners that means less time with a half-working kitchen and a result where the joinery, stone and services line up. Any wall removal to enlarge the space is engineered and certified as part of the same contract.
Bow homeowners choose us because one team delivers the whole kitchen, including any steel beam knock-through, the services and the finish. You get honest pricing, tidy working in an occupied home and cabinetry built around the real quirks of an E3 terrace. Thirty years in the borough means the structural side and the fit-out are handled by people who have done it many times before.
George was brilliant. Lovely bloke, very reasonably priced and a perfectionist to boot. He completed our small kitchen renovation with care and great attention to detail. I've already recommended him to others.
Splendid job on our new kitchen refurb, including new flooring, moving the services, installing RSJ and preparing space for new back doors… George was always friendly, communicative and has an excellent attention to detail, ensuring everything is finished to a high standard.
Giorgio is an excellent and intelligent workman, and with very reasonable prices!… He paid a lot of attention to detail that is not common at all, and the final result was immaculate. Highly recommended!

Yes. A large share of Bow's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do in Bow. The wall between the kitchen and the rear or middle reception is usually load-bearing, so it needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, plus a party wall notice where the wall is shared. We manage the structure and the new kitchen together.
