GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Chelsea, in the Georgian and Regency townhouses set back from the King's Road. With over 30 years in SW3, we handle bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops, appliance integration and any structural knock-through as one project, working within the constraints of listed and conservation-area homes throughout the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Chelsea homes
A popular Chelsea project opens the lower-ground or rear of a townhouse into a single kitchen-diner, knocking through the wall that separates the old kitchen from an adjoining room. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. The result is a bright, sociable space that suits family life while respecting the proportions of the period house above.
In SW3's terraced townhouses that dividing wall may also be a party wall shared with next door, in which case the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and we serve notice before starting. We fit the new kitchen around the reduced head height and natural light typical of lower-ground floors, planning ventilation, lighting and drainage so the finished room feels open and practical rather than dark and cramped.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for Chelsea townhouses
The period proportions of Chelsea houses, with their alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings, suit made-to-measure cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We design and fit bespoke kitchens with quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and considered task and feature lighting. Whether you want a classic in-frame Shaker kitchen in keeping with a Regency townhouse or a sleek handleless design, we build to the character and dimensions of your SW3 home.
Every kitchen we install includes the plumbing, electrics, tiling and decoration handled in-house, so the trades are coordinated under one programme. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under the Building Regulations, and we ensure the work is certified. In listed Chelsea properties we take extra care around protected features and original fabric, and we manage deliveries and waste considerately given the tight streets and parking restrictions common across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
