Open-plan kitchen-diners in Ealing terraces
The most requested kitchen project in Ealing opens up the rear of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception or infilling the side return to create a sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, working within the tight rear plots typical of the borough.
With the wall gone, we plan the new space around how the family lives, positioning the island, run of units and dining area to make the most of the light from rooflights or new bi-fold doors. Plumbing and electrics are moved to suit the new layout, and because the same team handles the steel and the kitchen, the structural opening and the finished room come together without a gap between trades.
Housing in Ealing
Take the 149,900 or so homes the valuation list gives Ealing: 54% flats, 46% houses, 28% from before 1919, 30% interwar and 42% post-war. Since most homes here are flats, a kitchen sink in a flat in Ealing has to stay within reach of the shared soil stack.
Moving the kitchen to a new room in an Ealing home
A kitchen refit in the same room and a kitchen moved to a different room are treated differently by Ealing building control. Ealing's domestic building control charges list the formation of each new kitchen or utility room as its own item. So moving the kitchen from the back addition into the middle room, or adding a utility where there was none, brings building control into the project even when no wall comes out. Drainage to the stack, extraction to outside and the electrical circuits are all looked at in the new position.
In Ealing 54% of homes are flats, and in a flat the move carries one more check. A kitchen placed on the route from the bedrooms to the front door changes how people escape a fire, and a waste run above the neighbour's ceiling changes the risk if it leaks. Settle both with building control and the freeholder before the units are ordered. The layout that works on paper can move by a metre once the escape route and the fall to the stack are fixed, and the cabinets need to follow it.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for W5 and W13
Ealing's period homes come with chimney breasts, alcoves and generous ceiling heights that rarely suit standard off-the-shelf runs. We fit bespoke and made-to-measure cabinetry that works with these proportions, from handleless contemporary designs to classic in-frame Shaker kitchens that sit comfortably in an Edwardian villa. Every unit is planned around the quirks of the room rather than forcing the room to fit the units.
We supply and template worktops in quartz, granite and composite, integrate appliances neatly and finish with tiling, task lighting and considered electrics. Notifiable electrical work is certified by a registered electrician under Part P, or notified to building control. Across W5 and W13 the aim is the same, a hard-wearing, beautifully finished kitchen where the plumbing, wiring, joinery and surfaces are all handled in-house by one accountable team.
The certificates a new kitchen should leave behind
A finished kitchen should come with paperwork, and it is worth knowing what you are entitled to. New circuits and a consumer unit change are notifiable under Part P, so the installation is tested, an electrical installation certificate is issued and the work is notified to building control. Any gas work, whether moving a hob or relocating a boiler, is carried out and certificated by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
If the job included a structural opening, there is a building control completion certificate for that as well, and the structural engineer's calculations should be filed with it. Appliance warranties, worktop care instructions and the extractor specification round the set off. Keeping them together matters more than people expect, because they are among the first things a conveyancer asks for when the house is sold, sometimes many years afterwards. We hand the full set over at the end of the job rather than posting bits of it out afterwards.
- Extraction ducted through to outside air
- Waste and water runs moved, and gas by a Gas Safe registered engineer, before the units are set
- Pantry, larder and utility room integration

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Renovation Ealing
How does your kitchen renovation price in Ealing compare with a national firm's?
A GS Renovation price for kitchen renovation in Ealing compares well with a national firm's because there is no head office to fund, and both should sit within £18,000 to £60,000 or more (indicative). GS Renovation is the contractor doing the work at W5, not a broker adding a margin. Compare the scope, including Part P certification for every new circuit, not just the total.
How wide can the opening to the garden be in an Ealing kitchen?
As wide as the engineer's design supports, which in practice is governed by the beam depth you can live with. In W5 and W13 houses a full width rear opening usually calls for a deeper steel or a pair of beams, and that depth eats into head height above the doors. The two are worked together, so opening and ceiling line are agreed before anything is ordered.
How long will I be without a kitchen during an Ealing kitchen renovation?
Plan on 3 to 5 weeks of site work in an Ealing kitchen, stretching to 6 to 8 when a knock-through for a kitchen-diner is included. A temporary sink and a worktop with a microwave in another room makes that bearable. The quiet gap comes after the carcasses are fixed, while the worktop is templated and made, so we flag those days in advance.
Can the electrics in my Ealing home take an induction hob?
Check the consumer unit first. Induction draws enough current to justify a circuit of its own, and older boards in Victorian terraces or 1930s semis may lack a spare way or modern protection. Because that is a new circuit, Part P makes it notifiable, and a registered electrician signs it off. It goes in at first fix, while the walls are still open.
Where does the cooker hood vent to in an Ealing kitchen?
To outside. Part F requires mechanical extraction ducted out of the building, so the duct route is planned before units go in. On an external wall it is short and simple. On an island or internal wall, the duct runs through the ceiling void, parallel to the joists if possible, as cutting across them needs care.
Can we move the sink to the island in our Ealing 1930s semi?
Usually, if the waste can fall. The pipe must drop steadily from the island to the stack or drain, so joist direction matters on a suspended timber floor. If joists run the wrong way, notching is limited and a pump may be needed. On a solid floor, the screed is broken out to run the waste before the new floor goes down.
Is replacing a kitchen in the same room of an Ealing home a building control job?
Not in itself. Ealing's domestic charges list the formation of a new kitchen, not the replacement of one, so new units, worktops and appliances in the existing room are not that item. What can still need notifying is the work around them: a new circuit for an induction hob, a replacement consumer unit, or a sink moved onto a new waste connection. Ask the electrician how the circuits will be certified before first fix.
What should a new kitchen floor in an Ealing Victorian house leave alone?
The air under it. In Ealing 28% of homes were built before 1919, and a house of that age can sit on a suspended timber ground floor that relies on air bricks to stay dry. A new kitchen can block that airflow with a plinth, a sealed vinyl floor or an extension built across the air bricks. Check where the air bricks are before the layout is fixed, and keep a route for air through the void.
Can a kitchen in Bedford Park get wider garden doors without planning permission?
Not safely without asking. In the Bedford Park conservation area an Article 4 direction means planning permission is also required for the enlargement, improvement or other alteration of a dwelling house. Widening the back opening for a kitchen, or swapping a window for doors, alters the house. Put the new opening to Ealing's planners before the engineer sizes the steel and before the doors are ordered, so the kitchen design follows a permitted opening.
