Kitchen Renovation Ilford

The kitchen in a typical Ilford terrace sits in the rear closet wing, often narrow, dark and cut off from the rest of the house. GS Renovation redesigns these spaces across IG1, bringing over 30 years of experience to bespoke and fitted kitchens, open-plan knock-throughs and the structural and services work that makes them possible.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Ilford homes

The most requested Ilford kitchen project opens the closet-wing kitchen through to the rear reception, sometimes filling in the side return at the same time to gain width. That dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, prop safely during demolition and have building control sign off the finished opening. The result is a bright, sociable kitchen-diner overlooking the garden.

Around the structure we fit the kitchen itself, moving the plumbing and adding the electrical circuits the new layout needs, all certified under building regulations. We run underfloor pipes or level the floors between old and new sections, plaster the reveals around the beam and light the space with a mix of downlights, pendants and under-cabinet strips. By the end there is no trace of the poky galley that was there before.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for Ilford

Not every Ilford kitchen needs a knock-through. Where the footprint works, we design a fitted or fully bespoke kitchen that squeezes real storage and worktop out of a modest terraced space. Chimney-breast recesses, awkward corners and the low pitch of a rear-addition roof all become useful once the layout is planned properly. We supply everything from handleless contemporary units to classic Shaker designs to suit the age of the house.

Worktops are chosen to match how you cook, whether hard-wearing quartz, natural granite or a warm composite, templated and fitted precisely to the units. We integrate the appliances, tile the splashbacks, sort the extraction and ventilation, and layer the lighting so the room works morning and night. Plumbing, electrics, joinery and tiling are all handled by our own team, so your Ilford kitchen is delivered complete rather than in disconnected stages.

• Plastering, decorating and second fix carpentry
• Boiler relocation coordinated with a registered heating engineer
• Underfloor heating and kitchen ventilation
• Waste, water and gas runs moved before the units are set
• Plumbing, electrics and appliance integration
