Kitchen Renovation Brentford

GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Brentford, fitting out the open-plan spaces of riverside apartments and the reworked rooms of TW8 conversions and terraces. We handle cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as a single project, so your Brentford kitchen is delivered by one team from start to finish.

In Brentford, a kitchen renovation typically costs £18,000 to £60,000 or more from design to fitting (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Brentford: we carry the strip-out, services and fit as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

How the job runs

1. Free design visit at your Brentford home and an itemised quote.
2. Strip-out and any structural work, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering.
3. Units fitted and levelled; stone worktops templated and cut off site.
4. Worktops, appliances, tiling and second fix. Electrics certified under Part P by a registered electrician, or notified to building control. Typically 3 to 5 weeks on site.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Brentford flats

The new-build and converted apartments that make up much of Brentford often suit an open-plan kitchen-diner, and where a dividing wall can be removed we create a bright, sociable space. If that wall is load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. In a leasehold flat this usually means securing the freeholder's licence first, and we assemble the engineer's drawings and calculations the managing agent will want to see.

Once the layout is opened up, we fit the kitchen properly. That means quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, tiling, task and feature lighting, and the plumbing and electrics run in as first-fix so nothing is bodged later. We plan around the proportions of a converted or new-build space, making the most of ceiling height and natural light along the river while keeping to the sound-insulation standards expected between Brentford flats.

Housing in Brentford

By the valuation list's count, Brentford holds about 13,230 homes, 35% houses and 65% flats; by age, 15% were built before 1919, 24% between the wars and 61% since 1945. Where most homes are flats, a kitchen sink in a flat in Brentford has to stay within reach of the shared soil stack.

Brentford kitchen extensions near public drains and Article 4 streets

A bigger kitchen in a Brentford house tends to mean building out the back, and behind a terrace a shared drain can run across several gardens. Hounslow requires a full plans application, not a building notice, where an extension is to be built over or within 3m of a public drain or sewer. A camera survey of the drains, before the kitchen is designed, tells you which route applies. It also shows where the sink, dishwasher and washing machine can discharge, because the fall to the existing run decides how far from it the sink can sit.

The extract route is the outside question. Hounslow has made Article 4 directions covering all properties in the Gunnersbury Park Conservation Area, which it describes as part of Brentford and Chiswick. An Article 4 direction removes some permitted development rights, so a duct terminal or a new window on a visible elevation there may need an application. Take the hood extract to the rear wall, keep the terminal small and plain, and settle its position while the ceiling is open, so the duct run is short and has few bends.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for Brentford homes

Not every Brentford kitchen is a knock-through. In apartments and terraces alike, a well-designed fitted kitchen within the existing room can make a real difference without structural work. We plan the layout around how you actually cook and live, then install bespoke or fitted cabinetry to suit the character of the home, from handleless contemporary units in a modern riverside flat to classic Shaker designs in a period terrace.

Everything is coordinated by one team, so the worktops, splashbacks, appliance integration, plumbing and electrics come together on one programme. Notifiable electrical work is certified by a registered electrician under Part P, and we keep the site tidy throughout because most kitchens are fitted in occupied homes. The finished result is a kitchen that looks considered, functions well and stands up to daily use for years to come.
