GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Bromley, from compact galley kitchens in BR2 flats to large open-plan kitchen-diners in the interwar semis of Beckenham and Chislehurst. With over 30 years in the borough, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through together, so the whole kitchen is delivered by one team.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Bromley semis
The most requested kitchen project in Bromley opens up a 1930s semi, removing the wall between the original kitchen and the rear dining room to create one bright, sociable space. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by Bromley Council building control, propping the structure safely before the wall comes out.
Once the space is open, we fit the kitchen to suit it, running units along the retained walls and adding an island or peninsula where the generous interwar footprint allows. We integrate the appliances, move the plumbing and electrics to suit the new layout, and finish with tiling and considered lighting. Across BR3, BR5 and BR6 this single change transforms how a family uses the back of the house.
Bespoke and fitted kitchens for Bromley homes
Whether you want a classic Shaker kitchen that suits a period Bromley frontage or a handleless contemporary design, we build to fit the room rather than forcing standard units into awkward interwar spaces. We plan around the bay window, the chimney breast and the door positions typical of a 1930s semi, so worktops run cleanly and storage is genuinely usable.
We supply and fit quartz, granite and composite worktops, matching the surface to how you cook and the look you want, and we handle every service in-house. Plumbing for the sink and any island, the notifiable electrics for sockets and lighting, the tiling and the extraction are all managed by our team, so your BR1 or SE20 kitchen is delivered as one finished, working room rather than a series of trades.
Floors, heating and a warmer kitchen
A refit is the one chance you get at the floor, and in a Bromley interwar house that is worth taking. Many original ground floors are solid, laid straight onto hardcore with no insulation beneath them, and a kitchen that never feels warm underfoot is usually the reason. Where the floor is coming up anyway we can insulate and lay a new screed, which also lets us set the level to match the rest of the ground floor.
That is the decision point for underfloor heating too, since it goes in with the screed and not afterwards. Wet underfloor heating suits a large open kitchen diner in a Beckenham or Orpington semi, frees the wall a radiator would take and runs at a lower flow temperature, which suits a heat pump later on. Where the floor build up does not allow it, a well placed radiator or a plinth heater does the job.
