GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Camberwell, from compact galley layouts in SE5 townhouses to open-plan kitchen-diners at the rear of Georgian and Victorian homes. With over 30 years across Southwark, we handle cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics, tiling and any structural work needed to open the space, all as one managed project.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Camberwell homes
The signature Camberwell kitchen project opens the rear of a period townhouse, knocking the kitchen through to the adjoining room to create a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. Because that dividing wall is almost always load-bearing in SE5's solid-brick homes, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by Southwark Council building control. Often we combine this with a side-return infill to widen the footprint further.
Once the structure is open, we fit the kitchen itself, from quartz, granite or composite worktops to integrated appliances, considered lighting and tiling. We plan the plumbing and electrics around the new layout, keeping the run of units and the flow of the room practical for family life. The result suits the proportions of a Camberwell townhouse while giving you the open, connected space these older homes originally lacked.
Bespoke kitchens for Camberwell period proportions
Camberwell's Georgian and Regency homes have alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that suit made-to-measure cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We plan each kitchen around the quirks of the room, using the height for tall storage and shaping the run to fit original recesses. In lower-ground kitchens common to SE5 townhouses, we work with the reduced head height and limited natural light to keep the space bright and usable.
Whether you want a handleless contemporary finish or a classic Shaker design, we build to suit the age and character of the house. Worktops, splashbacks, lighting and appliance integration are all specified together, and the plumbing, electrics and tiling are handled in-house. Notifiable kitchen electrics are certified under building regulations, so your finished Camberwell kitchen is safe, documented and built to last for years.
