GS Renovation builds kitchens across Mill Hill, from replacing a tired run of units in a semi near the Broadway to opening the back of a detached house for an island and a utility off the side. Cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work are handled by one team with more than 30 years of experience.
Kitchens in Mill Hill houses
The kitchens in Mill Hill's larger houses were rarely planned for how people cook now. They sit at the back, with a separate scullery or rear lobby beside them and a garden door in the wrong place. The real gain usually comes from taking in that adjoining space and moving the laundry out to a utility, rather than from expensive doors. A washing machine and a tumble dryer running in a family kitchen make the room loud and humid and cost you a full height cupboard.
Extraction is the detail most often got wrong. A ducted hood needs a route to an outside wall and the shortest run of rigid duct you can give it, with as few bends as possible; flexible pipe crushed into a ceiling void quietly destroys the airflow the fan was rated for. An island hob is harder again, because a ground bearing slab leaves nowhere for a duct to run, so either the hob comes back to a wall or you specify a downdraft unit and design its route before the floor goes down.
Services, water pressure and sign off in NW7
Mill Hill sits high, and the mains pressure towards the top of the hill is often weaker than people are used to, which shows up as a disappointing tap and a slow fill on the washing machine. We measure the flow rate at the stopcock before specifying anything, because that figure decides whether an unvented cylinder, an accumulator or simply better pipe sizing is the right answer. It is a five minute test that avoids an argument later about a brand new kitchen tap that nobody can make perform.
The rest is planning done early. Induction hobs and ovens want their own circuits, and in older NW7 houses the existing consumer unit frequently has no spare ways and no residual current protection, so it gets replaced as part of the job. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under the Building Regulations and are certified accordingly. Waste runs are set out before the units arrive, with the correct fall to the existing gully, and appliance positions are fixed at first fix rather than argued about at second.

The GS Renovation Difference in Mill Hill
Homeowners here use us because we sort out what sits behind the doors as well as what is on the front of them. The flow rate, the extraction route, the circuits and the waste falls are all resolved before a single cabinet is ordered, and any structural opening is engineer designed and signed off by Barnet Council's building control. One team, one programme, one point of contact throughout.
- Dust screens and floor protection in occupied homes
- Appliance and extraction routes agreed at design stage
- Structural engineer instructed and coordinated on your behalf
- Old kitchen stripped, disposed of and made good within the price
- Free follow-up visit after completion if anything needs attention
- Floors levelled and packed so doors and drawers line up
