Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Kingston upon Thames. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Kingston upon Thames, from the bay-fronted terraces of Surbiton to the riverside homes near the Thames. With over 30 years of experience in KT1, KT2, KT3, KT5 and KT6, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work as a single project.

The most popular kitchen project in Kingston opens the rear of a Victorian terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle room to make a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. Many terraces around Surbiton and New Malden gain even more from infilling the side return at the same time, widening the space and adding rooflights.
With the structure open, we fit the kitchen you have chosen, whether handleless contemporary or a classic Shaker style. Quartz, granite or composite worktops go on solid, level runs, appliances are integrated, and we run the plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting in-house. Because the same team did the knock-through and the fit-out, the finished kitchen-diner reads as one connected room across the rear of your Kingston home, with the beam boxed in and no trace of the old wall.
Period houses in KT1 and KT2 rarely have square walls or standard dimensions, so a made-to-measure approach beats off-the-shelf units. We plan the layout around chimney breasts, alcoves and the awkward step into a rear closet wing, using bespoke cabinetry to claim every inch. Tall ceilings suit full-height storage and dresser-style runs, while the reduced light of a rear kitchen is answered with considered task and ambient lighting so the finished room feels bright and genuinely usable.
You do not need planning permission to refit a kitchen, but the electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so we certify the new circuits properly. We coordinate the whole sequence, from stripping out and first fix through plastering, flooring, units, worktops and tiling to the final connections and snagging. Working in an occupied Kingston home, we protect routes in and out, keep dust down and aim to have you cooking again as quickly as the programme sensibly allows.
Kingston homeowners choose GS Renovation because one team handles the whole kitchen, including any steel beam or knock-through, the services and the finish. You get honest pricing, tidy working in an occupied home and a bespoke result built around the quirks of a period property, backed by 30+ years across KT1 to KT6.
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 Kingston upon Thames's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, it is one of the most popular jobs we do in Kingston. The wall between the kitchen and the 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 manage the structure and the new kitchen together.
