GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Highgate, from bay-fronted Victorian terraces to Edwardian family homes in N6. With over 30 years of experience near Hampstead Heath, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any steel beam knock-through as a single project, delivering a bright open-plan kitchen that suits the way you actually live.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Highgate homes
The classic Highgate kitchen project opens the rear of a Victorian terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle room 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 Camden building control, and often infill the side return to widen the room. The result is the light, connected space these N6 homes are missing.
With the structure open, we design the layout around how the room is used, positioning the island, run of units and appliances for flow and light. Quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and considered lighting finish the space. We route the new plumbing, waste and electrics to suit the reconfigured room, and tile and decorate throughout, all handled by the same team that took the wall out.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for Highgate homes
Highgate's period houses have chimney breasts, alcoves and tall ceilings that suit made-to-measure cabinetry rather than off-the-shelf units. We plan the kitchen around these features, using full-height storage in the alcoves and framing the chimney breast rather than fighting it. Whether you want a handleless contemporary finish or a classic in-frame Shaker kitchen, we build to match the proportions and age of your N6 home.
Worktops set the tone, and we help you choose between hard-wearing quartz, natural granite and warm composite surfaces to suit your budget and use. Appliance integration keeps the look clean, while properly planned lighting, task, ambient and feature, makes a real difference in the often shaded rear rooms of a Highgate terrace. Plumbing, electrics and tiling are all completed in-house, so the finish is coordinated.
