Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Coulsdon. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Coulsdon, from compact galley kitchens in 1930s semis to large open-plan kitchen-diners in the interwar houses of CR5. With more than 30 years of experience across Croydon, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work together as one project.

The most popular kitchen project in Coulsdon opens the rear kitchen of an interwar semi through to the dining room, creating one bright, sociable space at the back of the house. Because the wall between them is usually load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, so the ceiling above stays fully supported once the wall is gone.
With the space opened up, we set out the new kitchen to make the most of the wider footprint, running units along the flank wall and adding an island or peninsula where the plan allows. We handle the plumbing, the electrics, the tiling and the lighting in-house, integrating appliances and finishing with quartz, granite or composite worktops chosen to suit the room.
Not every Coulsdon kitchen needs a wall removed. Many owners simply want a well-made fitted kitchen that works harder in the existing room, and the interwar houses around CR5 often have alcoves, a chimney breast or an awkward corner that standard flat-pack units never quite fill. We plan the layout around those features and build to suit, whether the look is handleless contemporary or classic Shaker.
We take care of the full installation, moving plumbing and gas where the new layout requires, rewiring for appliances and adding the sockets and lighting circuits that modern kitchens need. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so that work is properly certified. Worktops in quartz, granite or composite are templated and fitted precisely, and we tile, grout and finish so the room is ready to use.
Coulsdon homeowners choose GS Renovation because one team delivers the whole kitchen, including any steel beam knock-through, the plumbing and electrics, and the finish. You get transparent pricing, tidy working in an occupied home and a kitchen built to last, backed by more than 30 years across Croydon and the interwar houses of CR5.

FAQ
Because scope, not skill, is what differs. A kitchen renovation quotation that omits the engineer, the Croydon Council fee or the making good will always undercut one that includes them, which is why Coulsdon homeowners see such a spread. We list each element for the CR5 address so nothing hides. GS Renovation would rather explain a difference than quietly match a lower Croydon figure. Ask every Croydon builder quoting for your CR5 home to supply the same breakdown. As a rough guide, kitchen renovation in London ranges from roughly £18,000 to £60,000 or more (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.
The programme is revised openly and you are kept ahead of it. GS Renovation updates a Coulsdon client weekly during kitchen renovation, so a slipping date at the CR5 address is visible long before completion. Where Croydon Council inspection availability is the cause we will say so. Where it is ours, we say that too, on every Croydon project. Ring 07472 424 226 and we will explain how weekly updates work on a CR5 job.
Yes, fully insured, and we will show you the certificate before work starts. GS Renovation carries cover for every kitchen renovation project, whether the property is in Coulsdon or over in Purley, and we are GS Renovation Ltd, company number 14611254. You can check that independently. Ask any contractor quoting for your CR5 home to evidence the same. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk and we will send ours for Croydon work. The certificate is offered before any CR5 work starts.
Usually the freeholder's, under the lease, and sometimes building regulations. Relocating waste and soil runs in a CR5 flat is the constraint that decides whether the layout you want is possible at all. We establish that before designing anything.
Damp, decayed timber and load paths that are not where anyone expected. Interwar semis and short terraces with hipped roofs and rear kitchens hide all three, which is why kitchen renovation at a CR5 address starts with careful opening up rather than demolition. GS Renovation tells a Coulsdon homeowner immediately and prices the fix in writing. Nothing proceeds on a Croydon site until you have agreed it. Email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk and we will explain how kitchen renovation variations are agreed at a CR5 property.
Big enough to work at, with roughly a metre of clear floor all around it. In CR5 houses the usual mistake is an island leaving too little space to the run behind, so drawers and appliance doors collide with each other. We set the footprint out in tape on the floor before services go in, because once the waste and conduits are cast in nothing can move.
The whole borough, and beyond it.
