GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Havering, from the interwar semis of Hornchurch to the family homes around Romford. With more than 30 years in RM1 to RM14, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, appliances, plumbing and electrics, along with any steel beam knock-through needed to turn a cramped 1930s kitchen into an open-plan kitchen-diner.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Havering homes
The original 1930s semi in Havering keeps the kitchen as a small, separate room at the back, cut off from the dining room by a load-bearing wall. The most popular kitchen project we do here opens that wall to create a bright kitchen-diner running the width of the house. Because the wall carries load, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, bearing onto padstones, and building control signs the structural work off before the units go in.
Where the plot allows, and Havering plots are often generous, we combine the knock-through with a small rear or side-return extension to make the kitchen-diner larger still, adding rooflights over the new space. We then fit the kitchen itself, integrating appliances, running new plumbing and electrical circuits, laying flooring and tiling, and planning layered lighting over the island and worktops. The whole job, structure and kitchen, is delivered by one team rather than split between a builder and a fitter.
Bespoke and fitted kitchens across Havering
From handleless contemporary ranges to classic Shaker designs, we build kitchens to suit the age and proportions of Havering's interwar homes. Bay windows, chimney breasts and the odd awkward corner in a 1930s semi often call for made-to-measure joinery rather than off-the-shelf units, so the run flows and no space is wasted. We help you choose worktops to match, whether hard-wearing quartz, natural granite or a warm composite finish that suits daily family life.
A kitchen is as much about services as cabinets, so we run the plumbing, gas and electrics correctly and certify the notifiable work under Building Regulations. New sockets, the cooker circuit and any changes to the consumer unit are all tested and documented. Tiling, splashbacks, underfloor heating where wanted, and task and ambient lighting complete the room. Whether you are in RM3 or RM14, you get a kitchen that is properly built as well as good-looking.
