Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Forest Gate. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens throughout Forest Gate, from compact galley layouts to full open-plan kitchen-diners in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of E7. With 30+ years across Newham, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through as a single, coordinated project.

The kitchen most Forest Gate families want opens the rear of the terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception room to make one bright, sociable space facing the garden. That dividing wall is nearly always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, often combined with filling in the side return to widen the room further.
With the space opened up, we plan the kitchen around how the family actually lives, keeping sightlines to the garden and room for a table. Quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, considered task and mood lighting and careful tiling all follow. We work around the solid-wall construction and the original chimney breast where it stays, making the most of the deep, narrow footprint these E7 terraces give you.
Forest Gate terraces come with alcoves beside the chimney breast, awkward corners in the closet wing and ceiling heights that standard flat-pack units never quite suit. Made-to-measure cabinetry earns its keep here, using every inch of a tight plan and squaring up walls that are rarely true after a century of settlement. We survey precisely and build to the actual room, not to a showroom assumption.
Whether you want a handleless contemporary look or a classic Shaker kitchen in keeping with the period house, we manage the full fit. The plumbing for the sink and any island, the notifiable electrics for sockets and lighting, the extraction, the tiling and the flooring are all handled by our own team. One point of contact means the design intent survives all the way through to the finished kitchen.
Forest Gate homeowners choose GS Renovation because we deliver the whole kitchen, including the steel beam for a knock-through, the services and the finish, under one roof. You get tidy working in an occupied family home, honest pricing, and a kitchen built to last, backed by 30+ years fitting kitchens in Newham's period terraces.
George was brilliant. Lovely bloke, very reasonably priced and a perfectionist to boot. He completed our small kitchen renovation with care and great attention to detail. I've already recommended him to others.
Splendid job on our new kitchen refurb, including new flooring, moving the services, installing RSJ and preparing space for new back doors… George was always friendly, communicative and has an excellent attention to detail, ensuring everything is finished to a high standard.
Giorgio is an excellent and intelligent workman, and with very reasonable prices!… He paid a lot of attention to detail that is not common at all, and the final result was immaculate. Highly recommended!
FAQ

After a free survey you receive a clear written breakdown with no hidden extras. Call 07472 424 226 or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk. 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.

A like-for-like kitchen renovation in Forest Gate does not need planning permission. You will need building regulations sign-off for electrical work, and for structural changes such as removing a wall to open up the space. We manage building control on your behalf throughout.
Yes. A large share of Forest Gate's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, it is one of the most popular jobs we do in E7. The wall between the kitchen and the rear reception room is usually load-bearing, so it needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and often a party wall notice where the wall is shared with next door. We manage the structure and the new kitchen together.
