Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Hackney. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and installs kitchens across Hackney, from open-plan conversions in Hoxton to the terraced homes near Broadway Market. With more than 30 years in E2, E8, N1 and N16, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any steel beam knock-through as one project, signed off by building control where structural work is involved.

The most popular Hackney kitchen project opens the ground floor of a Victorian terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the rear reception to create a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we fit a steel beam, sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, and often extend into the side return to widen the space. Where the wall is shared with next door, we serve the party wall notices first.
In warehouse conversions the kitchen is often already open-plan, so the work is about better use of the volume rather than removing walls. We plan the layout around exposed brick, ductwork and tall windows, integrating appliances and extraction while respecting the managing agent's rules on services and noise. Quartz, granite or composite worktops and considered lighting finish a kitchen that suits the industrial character of these Shoreditch and Dalston buildings.
Hackney's homes range from high-ceilinged conversions to narrow terraced returns, so a standard run of units rarely fits well. We design bespoke and fitted kitchens to the exact space, working around alcoves, chimney breasts and awkward corners, or the columns and beams left exposed in a Shoreditch loft. You choose the doors, handles and finish, and we build the layout around how you actually cook and gather at home.
Every kitchen brings the trades together in one place, so we handle the plumbing for sinks and appliances, the notifiable electrics certified under building regulations, the tiling and the lighting in a single coordinated programme. In leasehold flats we confirm what the lease and managing agent allow before moving services, and in terraces we make good the walls and floors so the finished room feels considered throughout.
Hackney homeowners choose GS Renovation because a kitchen touches structure, plumbing, electrics and joinery at once, and one team handling all of it avoids the gaps. Whether your project needs a steel beam knock-through with building control sign-off or careful coordination with a Dalston managing agent, you get transparent pricing, tidy working and a lasting result from 30+ years of experience.
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!

Yes. A large share of Hackney's homes are warehouse-conversion and new-build properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as concrete or steel frames, building-management rules and modern services, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do in Hackney's terraces. The wall between the kitchen and rear reception is usually load-bearing, so it needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, plus a party wall notice where the wall is shared with next door. We fit the new kitchen and the structure together.
