GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens throughout Golders Green, from compact galley layouts in NW11 terraces to wide open-plan kitchen-diners. With over 30 years of experience across North London, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work in one project, so your new kitchen arrives complete and properly finished.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Golders Green
The most requested kitchen project in NW11 opens the rear closet-wing kitchen through to the middle reception room, creating one bright, sociable space. That dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, so the knock-through needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by Barnet Council building control. Many homeowners combine this with a side-return infill to gain the extra width these narrow terraces lack.
Once the structure is open, we fit the kitchen itself, from handleless contemporary units to classic Shaker designs, with quartz, granite or composite worktops to suit. Appliances are integrated, the plumbing and notifiable electrics are installed to building regulations, and we finish with tiling, splashbacks and layered lighting. Because it is all one team, the structural opening and the finished kitchen come together as a single, coordinated job.
Bespoke kitchens for Golders Green terraces
Period terraces in NW11 rarely have square rooms. Chimney breasts, alcoves and the awkward corner where the closet wing meets the main house all call for made-to-measure cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We plan the layout around these quirks, using tall ceilings for extra storage and fitting runs of units that make the most of every inch in what are often modest kitchen footprints.
Whether your home is near Brent Cross or on a quieter street closer to Hampstead Garden Suburb, we match the kitchen to the age and feel of the house. Painted timber and traditional detailing suit a period terrace, while a sleeker scheme can work in a renovated open-plan space. We manage the design, the survey and the full installation so the finished kitchen fits the property and the way you live.
Planning a kosher kitchen in NW11
A good number of Golders Green kitchens are planned to keep meat and dairy preparation separate, and that shapes the layout from the first drawing rather than being added at the end. Two sinks with their own drainers and waste runs, two dishwashers, separate worktop runs with a clear break between them, and distinct storage for each set of crockery all have to fit within a terraced footprint that was never designed for it.
The practical consequences are plumbing and power. Two dishwashers and two sinks mean twice the waste connections into the existing stack, and the falls need planning before the units are ordered. Extra appliances also raise the electrical loading, so the consumer unit and the circuits are assessed and the notifiable work certified. Where a warming drawer or a timed hot plate is wanted for Shabbat, we allow the supply and the position for it at first fix.
