GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Dulwich, from bespoke Shaker schemes to sleek handleless runs in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SE21. With over 30 years working near Dulwich Park, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics, tiling and any structural knock-through as one coordinated project, not a series of separate trades.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Dulwich homes
The most popular Dulwich kitchen project opens the cramped galley in the closet wing through to the rear reception, creating a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. Because that dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and we often infill the side return at the same time to gain worktop and dining space in these narrow SE21 terraces.
Once the structure is open we plan the layout around the way the light falls and where the existing drainage and gas runs sit. Knocking through changes the whole ground floor, so we think about sightlines, flooring that carries through, and lighting that works for both cooking and dining. Because we control the steel and the kitchen together, the two are designed as one and the beam disappears cleanly into the finished ceiling.
Bespoke kitchens for SE21 period proportions
Dulwich's period houses come with chimney breasts, alcoves and tall ceilings that rarely suit off-the-shelf units, so we plan cabinetry to fit the actual room. Deep larder cupboards in an old alcove, a run built around a retained fireplace, or an island scaled to the real floor space all make far better use of these terraces than a standard flat-pack layout ever could.
We finish with worktops chosen for how you cook, whether that is hard-wearing quartz, natural granite or a warm composite, and we integrate the appliances, plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting in-house. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under the Building Regulations, so we make sure the new circuits are properly certified. From design to the final splashback, one team is accountable for the whole SE21 kitchen.
