Kitchen Renovation Chiswick

GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Chiswick, most often opening the rear of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace into a bright kitchen-diner. We handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any steel beam knock-through together, so the structure and the finished kitchen arrive as one project.

In Chiswick, 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 Chiswick: 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 Chiswick 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 Chiswick terraces

The most requested Chiswick kitchen removes the wall between the rear kitchen and the middle reception, turning two dark rooms into one sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and we frequently fill the side return at the same time to gain worktop and dining space along the closet wing.

Once the structure is open, we fit the kitchen around the realities of a W4 terrace, solid walls, a chimney breast to work with or lose, and the run back to the garden. We install quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrate the appliances, run new plumbing and electrics, and plan lighting so the deeper open space still feels bright. The knock-through and the kitchen are delivered by the same team.

Housing in Chiswick

On the valuation list Chiswick counts about 16,410 homes, 59% flats and 41% houses; 51% predate 1919, 15% are interwar and 34% post-war. Most homes here are flats, and a kitchen in a flat in Chiswick drains to the building's shared soil stack, while a new extract through the outside wall needs the freeholder's licence first.

Relocating a kitchen inside a Chiswick conversion flat

With 59% of Chiswick's homes being flats, a W4 kitchen project is often a flat project, and in a converted house a kitchen that moves can easily upset the neighbours. Put it over the bedroom of the flat below and cooking noise, footfall and any leak land on someone's sleeping space. Leases in converted houses commonly control where kitchens and bathrooms may sit, so read the alterations clause before a designer draws the new layout.

The services decide the rest. The waste has to reach the shared soil stack or a drain with a steady fall, the extract has to discharge outside through a wall the freeholder may own, and a gas supply moving across the flat needs a registered gas engineer. Where the kitchen joins the living room, the fire escape question comes in too. Ask for the freeholder's licence with the services drawn on the plan, because a licence for the layout alone may not cover a new hole through the outside wall.

Bespoke kitchens for Chiswick proportions

Chiswick's period homes come with alcoves, chimney breasts, high ceilings and the odd awkward return that standard flat-pack units never quite fit. We plan bespoke and fitted kitchens around those proportions, using made-to-measure cabinetry to square up uneven walls and make full use of the height these Edwardian and Victorian rooms offer. Whether you want a handleless contemporary look or a classic Shaker style, we build to suit the age of the house.

Every element is handled in-house, so the worktop templating, appliance integration, tiling, splashbacks and task lighting all come together without you coordinating separate trades. In galley kitchens that have not yet been opened up, we still maximise storage and workflow within the existing footprint. Any new circuit or consumer unit change is notifiable under Part P, and a registered electrician certifies that work under Part P as part of the job.
